Maybe a silly question, but I'm curious about the prices of shaving gear in the bygone days and how long time did you have to work to buy a DE etc. I've seen an old ad from Gillette guess it was from 1959 or close to that (Fatboy at the price of 1.95), but what was an average blue collar salary lets say in automotive industry at that time. The same for white collar. What would the price for a Fatboy be today when recalculating with price index.
Any ideas of the prices of blades at that time. Also interesting would be if anyone has info regarding prices/salaries from 1920ies and the 1930ies.
In the end how do these values to compare with todays cartridge sytems prices also in relation to wages.
All info regarding this topic is very welcome!
