Hello, Victor:

Aha! that's the problem. They are no longer in production? That makes sense.

Yes, I'd love to have the 6 in your stash, if you don't want them. That's kind of you, sir.

Thanks much.

Obie

Obie,

Yes, I agree that Iridiums are a great blade, and until you mentioned it I hadn't really realized that they have indeed disappeared. Rasage Poulin, until recently, stocked them but they I haven't seen them lately. Which is too bad for me, since RP is a local Canadian suppler

I have not bothered to investigate further, but now my curiosity is piqued. Unfortunately we have have to look to "the other forum" to find the answer.

Hello, Ryan:

Thanks for your note. Yes, the Iridiums are fine blades, although nothing beats Feather, for me, anyway. Perhaps an expert will post and give us with some information on them. According to West Coast Shaving, the Super Iridium blades have been discontinued. Maybe, I don't know. It's a shame, because they are sweet shavers.

Regards,

Obie

Anyone try the KAI or medical persona blades? I have at least a 5 yr supply of feathers But they make me wonder if the feather is # 1
