Source for Feather Blades in Tokyo (or Seoul or Manila)?

[nics]

It seems that I miscalculated how many blades I would need while packing for Asia and need to find a place to buy Feather blades.

I'm in Tokyo at the moment, they are made in Japan so they should be available somewhere here?! Nobody even knows what a double-edge blade is here, lol - they are all too modern for that, using Gillette 37-blade cartridges - whatever, haha.

I'll be in Seoul and Manila soon - but I've been there before and never saw double-edge blades sold anywhere.

Anyone know of a source?

Japanese Amazon, perhaps? Just use the address of your hotel.

That link is from a 10 year old thread of someone else asking the same question.

The consensus from that thread was that blades are easily found in the hygiene sections of typical outlets like groceries and pharmacies.

Can't order online, I've got an airbnb and am not sure if packages will be delivered to me.

I was there a couple of years ago. They had all the Feather razors and blades.

Confirming that Hands in Ginza has them, along with a few other related items, see photo! Thank you for your help!

So looks like Tokyu Hands is just called Hands now. Good to know.

Kai Gold S or Kai Young T are SE razors you might see at drug stores in Japan. Also, there may be a women’s section with different gear.

DE blades might be readily available in Manila.

Where? I've got them now here in Japan, but would like to know about Manila anyway.

I've never tried a SE blade, but been using DE for many years (started the same time as making my Badger & Blade account). Not sure I'm ready for another experiment on my face, lol.
