I printed a decent looking, colorful sheet saying "Used Blades" and wrapped it around a soda pop can and taped it on. Simply put the used blades...
I agree with Hoosier Trooper about the 1912. My real preference is for it's predecessor, the Gem Junior Bar razor, but I realize these are...
If you are using carbon steel blades, you likely will get rust if you don't take out the blade and dry it. If you use stainless steel blades and...
It would appear that, for the most part, you are assuming new designs would be based upon something similar to Gillette's double edge blade...
As richgem said, there really is no reason for more than one blade. The variables are many however. Personally, after trying probably at least a...
