Hello people of B&B!
You know what i love the most about this hobby?
The razors, and lately i have been on a kick with vintage gillette razors. My wallet is crying but at last i am happy for the time being
. I even manage to catch a NOS british flare tip. Still skeptic about it being NOS, i think it might just have been re-plated, but oh well 50 euro for a re-plated British flare tip not to bad 
. I guess i will seen when it arrives.
But do you know what is my second favourite thing about this hobby?
Razor blades(you thought for a moment i had post in the wrong section
)
I have find the “ultimate” blade for me and that is the Wizamet super iridium. But here i am thinking what should i buy next.
Despite having find the perfect fit i still wanna try other blades, i know that is not likely that i will find something better than the Wizamet in my search, but thats not the point. I enjoy using different blades. Feather are still one of my favourite. Are they as smooth as Wiz? No. But still thats something about that super sharp edge that destroys every hair in its way that is magical for me. Each blades has its attributes and has that razor that makes it amazing to use in combination. Unfortunately the last one I bought left me a feel a bit meh. The perma-sharp was a big let down from me. The hype i had for them disappeared really fast when i got to use them. The are not a bad blade by any metric, they are just boring nothing special.
So here i am thinking what to buy next. Buy another 120 Wizamet to add to my stash? Maybe try some blades from the ones they have on razorbladeclub? Or grab that deal for 6 euro 100 pack of Astra and 6 euro for 100 pack of Bic? But like the title says, I want something I can’t have. Every time when i think what blade to try from the myriad of interesting options out there, i always think about the gillette super thin mejorada. And like you already know they are only sell in Brazil
. I also discover the gillette rubie ultra stainless made for the Philippines market, and lets not talk about the gillette platinum plus. I don’t want the silver blues or the 7 o’clock i can get them whenever i want. I want what my hands can’t reach, i want what makes my brain tingle, i want what makes my whiskers tremble and what makes my blood flow. And here am i left with this visceral feeling of void. Some things…. are not meant to be.
What do you want🫵, but can’t have?
What the thing that makes you feel the void induced by this consumerism mentality? Forced to us by this greedy capitalist world.
