Thread: Why are all the edelweiss gone!!!!!

Greetings gents. Just getting into straight razor shaving and I have been looking at the edelweiss from Boker as a second razor to my dovo. However, it seems like they are sold out everywhere except the Boker website for $179. This is compared to the lower 120's on other sites. Does anyone know of any sites that have them in stock? Thanks again.
Matt

Contact the vendors involved and ask when or if they'll get more in stock. Word is the straight razor scenes in recent movies has caused a run on straight razors.

This is good, in 6 months there will be a glut of barely used razors on the market. (And a lot of people with new facial scars.)

Exactly my thoughts. And by the way, I love your avatar. Un Chien Andalou, right? Weird and creepy. The eyeball scene still makes me cringe.

You got it. I needed something with a razor in it and that was the first thing that came to mind. Probably not a good sign regarding my mental health.

I found these websites they seem to be in stock, I never bought from any of them, so not sure about the service...

That expalins alot with the movie thing. Also, i didnt take into account the christmas season and those who were probably buying them as gifts. Thanks trimmy looks like you found a site that I had found and they are now back in stock. Appreciate it!

Somebody got cut with one and now there is talk of banning them, hence the short supply due to panic buying.

Just realize that it will come with the factory edge,from either of these websites,and will require a honing.
