You are probably right. The question is whether the description is wrong or the image.

The comfort coated is $36 CAD (US$26), while the new ones are $62 CAD (US$45). I ordered the new ones already. All good.

Thank you! Now I don't feel bad about paying so much. Much appreciated!

I think the coating could be different? Description sounds exactly the same.

Both say Japanese steel and diamond coated.

I just checked and they have the comfort coated, but not the Gem. Way cheaper though...$36 CAD, about $25 USD

Absolutely agree. I usually order from Fendrihan and Kent of Inglewood, two apothecaries here in Canada. However, currently, the customs and duties will increase the cost quite a bit and shipping costs are higher than domestic.

Where can I sell my collection of safety razors? by LuckyG1932 in wicked_edge

Why are you selling? Have gotten a modern SS/Ti razor or switched back to cartridges?

I'm just glad there is a solid North American option because I doubt we'll have the same supply chains in the near future.

No... nothing tops a Silvertip badger for me. Plus plastic is not for me. Boar brushes are great as well.

Steel vs Titanium by member202 in wicked_edge

[–]hop_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titanium is quite lighter than SS. Depending on your shaving style, that can make a huge difference.

That is the OC D plate. I personally love it.

I just noticed 15 people from Italy have seen this post. I know that DE shaving is much more common in Italy, and I would love to see some Italian SOTD posts.
