Bullgoose. Buy in bulk when they go on sale at 15% off (happens throughout the year) = cost $0.455/blade

Caunnaught. BREXIT IS YOUR FRIEND. $0.39/blade. Many people believe the pound will drop to parity to the dollar by the end of the year. If that happens ... $0.30/blade

Gifts & Care. With DFS discount - $0.39/blade

Or your 70 cents? That's Maggards, way out of line with BREXIT prices


Additionally, there are eBay sellers - Google them. Maggards are in stock TODAY. Try a Blade sells for 95 cents.

Good luck!

Thanks Grim

I think bullgoose may not be able to source them. Something about the feather's US supplier only sells to another company and does not wholesale (or that vendor and supplier are one in the same) and feather corporate not allowing other wholesalers to sell to us vendors either.... And a general prohibition of non-us vendors selling to the States.


But I know many a vendor who turn a blind eye... M

Have you tried de-spined GEMs? If not, pm your address and I'll drop a few in the mail.

You can also get the blades from OneBlade. I think they are a dollar a piece with shipping included.

Pete. Yes I have used gems in my oneblade.I like to switch between the 2 blades.Also I am not buying them from oneblade.way too much. Thanks for your reply tho.

I have suspected for sometime that OneBlade comes pretty close to having a lock on the US marketing, which is bolstered by GloryUprising 's comments above.

My best guess is that your best bet will be one of the UK shaving companies. Most of them say they can't ship Feather's outside of England, though I would place the order.

Once again, that's not true. Sorry Pete but they do not have a monopoly on stock.

Tryablade, a vendor here, has hundreds in stock, probably more, I can't tell. $3 shipping for all you want.

Maggards, today, has easily 1,500 in stock. Shipping free over $75.

Stock comes and goes. As I have said before, you get your name on their mailing list and they just email you when it stock.

Maggards has over 1,700 in stock.

grim, Note that I'm not saying they have a monopoly. My best guess is that they have a lock on official channels of distribution and that folks like Maggard's and Try-A-Blade are getting them on the gray market, which is the industry term for sources other than the official channel.

Feather 10s are available most of the time from multiple vendors in The UK. The US market is 5 times the size of The UK. Likely, the majority of OneBlades are in The US due to cost of shipping, yet the blades come and go as you have mentioned. I'm not aware of OneBlade ever being out of stock on the blades.

There are now a lot of OneBlades on the market. The blades should be more available than they are in the US. As GloryUprising has said above, there are vendors that want to buy them that but can't. Why is that? What is making it where companies are are reaching out to Feather's US distributor to spend money, only to be told that they can't get them?

Looking at it this way, I'm not sure that you and I see this differently. We are in agreement that the blades are available in the US from vendors other than OneBlade.
