Thought it would be fun to have a poll to see why so many of us decided to make the switch to DE razors.
I started to save money. I reckon if I stop buying now and live to around two hundred, I'll maybe break even.
Oh Yeah! Absolutely! I also always felt they are dirty and silly in design and haptically, didn't like the plastics. I got that idea that one sharp blade should actually be enough.The other thing I dislike about cartridge razors is the clogging. (Oh, how I hate the clogging!)
Wrong. There were numerous Gem style single edge razors made by ASR as well as Schick, Pal and Personna injector razors. Also, Valet Autostrop and Rolls Razors single edge razors and several other small manufacturers. There were many, many single edge options available besides DE or straight razors.Because in G.O.D. Good old days there was DE, or Straight.
Nothing else.

Gotcha. Hard to believe there wasn’t a drugstore in the area that didn’t at least offer the Schick injector.Well I am only commenting on what was available where I lived, most in neighborhood drug stores. My cousin owned two drug store in San Fernando Valley on Ventura Boulevard. I worked in on Saturdays for years stocking, and restocking. He only sold DE Blades, and DE Shavers. Barber supply sold both DE's, and straights.
We did not have online, or Internet sales, this was back in day when you did have only catalogue sales. Places like BullGoose, or Italian Barber were not around.
