    Replacement DE heads?

    If the thread is chrome plated Zamak (a zinc alloy), there is probably not a lot you can do as Zamak deteriorates when exposed from under the plating. In the longer term it's probably more cost effective to either purchase a razor with brass threads as a minimum e.g. Muhle or a cheaper...

    Bluffers Guide to British Triple Milled

    The other trend in play is that some formulations are likely to be dropping palm oil on the grounds of poor environmental credentials (deforestation). This could well explain the backwards evolution of Culmak / Eco Warrior? The T&H soap base changed initially when the Apsley range was...

There's a very good thread on Floris here that eventually manages...
