How long a safety razor last? Five years, ten years, fifty year? A seller told me that a safety razor last about seven years because this is the time that last the screw of the safety razor. Is this true?
(Sorry about the language, Iam Spanish)
Well, half of my safety razors are about 60 years old and going strong! I expect the Merkurs might though.
Bienvenido a B&B mi amigoYour seller I guess thinks the threads will wear out, and they might eventually, but I think it will take far longer than seven years for this to occur.
The Merkur's I would expect to last significantly less time than the vintage Gillette's. They are built out of inferior materials (pot metal vs. brass), and are not built to as high of a standard of excellence.
BS on 7 years if it is a Gillette.
