Yesterday I went to a store in Antwerp to buy a new SR (bought a Dove French Cut).
Of course, when talking to another SR enthusiast things take off very fast .
My first choice would have been a TI, but no ram's horn SR where present, the ordered TI weren't there yet.
We got talking about the delivery period of the razors and to be honest I was a bit surprised.
That TI aren't fast deliverers I can understand, in my mind it's a smaller company and more handmade razors than let's say Dovo. (It's possible this is just one of my delusions.)
Dovo is not taking any new customers at the moment because their production isn't able to keep up with orders. 3
There is a 3 month waiting period for Dovo, there was even an order of 21,000 razors.
They didn't take the order because it seems to like to keep things smaller.
Apparently the demand for DE is also higher but are easier to manufacture, sounds logical to me.

So what is happening in the SR world? Who would order about 21,000 razors?
Is this the beginning of the end for the cassette razors?

Just something I find strange.
