Thread: Razor Sales Decline

Some were simply too rare or hard to get and I realized two things; 1-specialize in one area and just collect those and 2-it's a quality over quantity type thing.

It's the same with razors and most other things. You can't have it all so you decide what you like and go from there.

Well said.

Interesting thread.

TRENDS
The 1% increase in men’s grooming in current value terms in 2013 to US$6.1 billion glosses over an important distinction in the category; men’s shaving actually fell by 1%, whilst men’s toiletries was responsible for all the gain, growing by 3%. This increased the overall share of toiletries to 53% in men’s grooming. 2013 marked the second year that growth in men’s toiletries outpaced growth in men’s shaving; a marked indicator of the changing nature of men’s grooming.

I am buying more quality bath/shower soaps, shampoos, deo sticks etc vs any and all shaving related products as well.

I missed a Stub tail tonight it's all I have on my list....I'm getting to the point where it would be easier to shell out the $ to have someone duplicate the style. The old steel is nice put what I see them go for unrestored, I could have one made for a little more.

Uh, can you give me the name of your shrink because I want to see a price fall in the jnat market.....
