They never open them and the cell rot gets them, the one store I go to has about 15 of them, most in poor condition and they want $60.00 to $75.00 for them, last time I was there I offered her 40.00 for a 75 dollar razor next thing I know she's on the Iphone checking Ebay-prices!!. I got it for 45.00 but didn't have all of it in cash gave her 25.00 and told her I will be back next week, but it will be the last time I go back there, I think I've bought the only 2 decent razors they have. The rest have cell rot or have tiny chips all down the blade.

My local stores are all shaveless. No brushes, DE, scuttles, straights, hones, SE, nothing! I live in a pretty far back in the woods area where more then a few oldtimers still have outhouses in the back yard and wetshaving products are still sold at the local pharmacy.
