Michael, Speaking of German Wilkinsons, do you know what the difference is between the Black Label and the White Label blades? They have the same description on Tryphon's web site. How would you compare the German Wilkinsons to the Swedish Gillette? Also, Tryphon says the Super-Max Platinum are 'the world's best selling DE blade'. Have you tried these and what do you think of them?
Crystals are my favorites! But today, SWMBO wanted to visit Bed, Bath and Beyond, this one has a large toiletry section, so along with the toothpaste, etc... I picked up some of the German Wilkinsons, 5/$1.99. I've tried the UK's and the classics made in England but we'll see how the Germans stack up. Always something different!
German Wilkinsons at Bed, Bath and Beyond! Who'd a thunk' it? I gotta' check out our local BB&B and see if they got any such section. Thanks for the tip!
OK Ron, here's what I found out. I wondered why not ever BBB had a large section of bath and beauty products so I asked. That section of their store is stocked by Harmon Drugs they cut a deal with BBB to have this section and the manager I spoke to didn't know how many were eventually going to have one. The blades are on the Harmon website at 5/$1.99. Sorry if you don't have one in your area.
I believe Crystals are the same. The patent number, however, is not held by ASR. It is a 1959 patent on how to coat blades with Teflon(r) and it's held by Gillette. You can't escape.
I've been to Australia 3 times (from the US), so I guess I'm a golden shellback with two oak clusters? Got to cross both of them going and coming back, surely?
Really interesting, indeed. I thought patents were only good for 17 years, not so? I guess you could still quote the patent number, even though it's expired. But you wouldn't have to pay to use it.
The old law was 17 years but since June 1995 it's 20 years. Quite often the license fee is a one-time payment, not a per item charge. There are valid reasons for displaying expired patent numbers but I have no idea what it would be in this instance. The application for this patent was made in 1959 but the patent wasn't granted until 1963 which is when the clock started running. Richard
Yes, very familiar. The Kitty Hawk is currently inport for the Holidays. I've been here quite a few years and it occurs to me that we have likely passed by each other in the Exchange or perhaps McDonalds’. Small world.
Pollywogs' Revolt! I got to 'dress up'! I had a blast! BUT, did you enter the Realm of the Czars? Crag
