Yes I would buy one but have it as part of a blade rotation perhaps , using the same thing day in and day out would bore me to tears. Think how many years of service that one blade would give if not used every shave! I don't have many different make's of blade but I have a few and I would miss that choice. I would not want to be paying more than £30 for this blade, how much for 100 top blades today? It's a very good question you've asked, do you know something we don't?For the sake of argument let's say that a blade maker announces an enormous breakthrough in blade technology and introduces into the market a blade made from some super duper hardened & unbreakable ceramic or polymer that gives a verifiable 365 multi-pass shaves. The reviewers all rate it as the best blade they have ever used and it's quality and durability are not in question plus it works in all razors perfectly as well.
Would you shelve your current blade choice(s) and pay say £50/$67.50 US for one blade? Remember, the quality has been verified and there is no doubt that it will provide you with one year's worth of perfect shaves. The only question is how much would you pay for it?
Just as I suspected, it has broken down for the most part into two categories: those who thrive on variety and the "phrugal phuckers".
My biggest fear is that IF this did happen then it would kill DE production except for Third World blades, e.g., Lord, etc.
Virtually all DE blades are third/developing world, apart from Feintechnik. The Japanese/South Koreans have moved production to South East Asia.
