Been awhile. Does anyone know or have a list of desirable vintage razors that shaved and looked great but used a proprietary blade no longer available other than the Ender’s ?
I can't remember the name of it just now, but I had a razor where the head moved up and pivoted down, in order to accept a blade with an oval hole in it.
Segal, I believe. I had one, but me being an accumulator and not a collector, I gave it away. As an accumulator, I use what I have. Not having blades, I couldn't use it, so...
I think I tried to modify a blade. If I did, it's obvious I didn't think too much of it, since I can't remember for sure.

I have the King Oscillator I'd be willing to part with but no blade , (can be found on etsy and ebay sometimes very reasonable). I have a few Durham Duplex I'd be willing to part with ..... unsure if I have any blades. I had a Gibbs 15 but parted with it .

Thank you for your gracious offer. I am really looking for just the blades desired that are no longer available and what razors used them. An old dull , chipped, rusted, or broken blade would be greatly appreciated. Also information about the blades. Are they flexible or rigid ?
Can I ask why you are searching out “useless worn out dull blades”? If you are considering reproducing blades(?) doing so for razors once popular like Wardonias (flexible DE with unusual cutouts) would be great, or the Durham Duplex (longish rigid blade). It would be great to see blades for either of these wonderful razors.
Thank you for taking the time to compose such a comprehensive list. Out of all the razors in your list, which do you like, and cannot find blades for or wish blades were easily available?
Absolutely ! If you have a razor you really like, and are searching or seeking blades for it, I might be able to accommodate you
