Those old gillette safety razors, my grandfather used them, he had a little slot in the medicine cabinet that you would dispose of your dull blades in. There was no catch can they just fell inside the walls. Hate to do a remodel and find all those razors. I've gathered that was pretty standard.

Been pondering this, as it applies to guns, but it fits everything.
Highly desired collectible stuff follows several patterns.
The most common ones are
Stuff that became obsolete, got junked, now people want what's left.
Or.
Freaks.
Junk
Stupid schidt that was made in limited quantities, because it was
stupid shidt that no one wanted.
Ruger Hawkeye pistols/256win.
Boat paddle stocks. Sorry. If they sold like gangbusters, they would
have never quit making the ugly things.
Remington pump rifles in varmint cartridges. Really?
Lever guns in varmit...
Heck, the pre 64, Model 12, Model 88, Savage 99.
It was multiple issues with these, but if demand was high and
would have supported necessary price increases, they would
have kept cranking them out.
Not trying to troll.
I actually believe this.
I just put my thick coat on.

Vacuum tubes, vinyl records and turn tables are all still in production and relatively easy to find.
I can buy the records and turn tables at Barnes and Noble 7 days a week. Tubes are still en vogue for guitar amps.

Pre 1986 NFA wpns.
Kinda fugged up LE and class3 types can get modern NFA made wpns.
But Joe average is limited to existing registered pre 86 wpns with all the correct requirements in order.....
And the price of pre 86 NFA wpns is outragous due to limited #,s that exist on registry available for sale.
Fugging bullschitt......
Bumping off the shoulder just aint the same.....

Smoking out behind the barn.
Stealing drip from oilfield locations to put in your 1947 Willis jeep cause you afford to buy gasoline as a 12 year old.
Putting a dead Cottonmouth mocassin by a doorstep and waiting until the person came outside.

Single tree and double tree.

What ever made the older folk pitch them and start buying
dispo$ibles? Or were they not so darn expensive back then. It was because those old blades mostly sucked. The razors themselves were great, but the blades were awful. Disposables were a game changer when they came out. Now, though, modern safety razor blades are for the most part really, really good. We are in a golden age of safety razor shaving right now.

And forget Harry's.
I shave about 4x a week. Give or take, depends on mood or meetings at work. Bought a 100 pack of Feather blades and 2 cakes of soap 5 years ago. Still using them.
With modern safety razors, I spend about 10 bucks a YEAR to shave. Cheaper than the "shave club".
