Note to UK shavers: Ebay UK has removed all blade listings

[amdamsky]

So in the last few days it turns out that Ebay UK has removed all double and single edge blade listings, which is a massive shame. Its something to do with an update to the dangerous weapons act or something but in reality its a load of bull.

I think shipping is allowed if you used tracked shipping so some listings may return but I recently had a listing removed simply for including the term "blade" so I'm not too hopeful.

Sadly that appears correct. Thankfully the sellers I use for new blade purchases have their own websites where it is possible to purchase from them directly. I assume that older or vintage blades from private sellers will no longer be listed on Ebay UK which is a shame.

What's next? Lawnmower blades, somebody could get hurt! Chainsaws? I hate to think of what one might do in the wrong hands!

There are listings for straight razors which is an anomaly. Straight razors are more dangerous as weapons!
I have enough blades for at least a decade so I am lucky.

That's a pretty extreme measure

I feel safer. It’s all about the feels
