"Pubic Service Announcement"

hello gents,thought i would share this ..

​

 

I'm not sure I liked his closing(lol), but I would say I still have TSD store's Russian Leather A.S.

 

*eyes wall full of vintage carbons*

I'm good.

 

I'm good on blades for atleast half a decade. There will always be blades to purchase, I'm not worried.

Is it still Breaking??

 

I thought I read this on one of the other shave forums a few months ago?

But wasn’t sure if it was true

Guess it is

will have to get some more now as I’m not sure if the quality will be as good. After they switch factories

 

Looks like a flagrant use of trying to generate scare tactics to drive up prices at his own store.

 

i have heard KCG blades are now made in China instead of St.Petes.

 

Hope not, Q.C. would suffer.

If they use the Russian factory equipment to make them they might be ok, with good QC too.

If this is true, it is a long time coming. I love the Russian blades, but, due to politics and social unrest in Russia, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Then again, if money can be made, politics can be put aside for a while.
This potential shortage, and stoppage in quality Russian blades will not effect me, for the next 50-100 years, if not longer. I have several thousand premium DE blades, and hundreds of Straight razors. So many blades, so few Whiskers.

 

This thread wasn't what I expected when I read the title "Pubic Service Announcement"

 

I enjoy those Saint Petersburg blades and I believe it's their steel & heat treatment + QC that just makes it a better blade than the average blade out there on the world market. Oh well there will be other countries who will enjoy the old line of blades coming their way it seems. Someone recently said that Gillette Astra SP blades are made in India.

 

Well, Gary can be that wayyyyy-AHHHHH(long lung breath)

 

I have THOUSANDS of blades from various countries that work well for me.

 

I' m good. Not going to count them. I don't know if I can count that high.

 

i know i have over 3500 ish so not too worried.so 10 years if i use a new blade every day..1 a week,67 years
