I picked one up of the bay. Lovely condition with one blade.

Can these blades be bought anywhere? Its the ones with 'Valet' stamped out of the blade which fits on two notches in the holder.
I saw a Youtube video where a guy adapted a GEM SS blade but that was for a different style of Valet.
 
Don't think those blade have been in production for some time. I've got three valet's that need them, I did pick up an unopened pack of 5 on the bay but not got around to trying them yet.

Kinda like a "rolls razor" those went out of production in the 1960's/1970's..

Big difference being that the rolls blades are pretty much mini straights in that they are hunks of Sheffield steel you can hone as opposed to the disposable se's for the valets. One rolls blade is all you'll need, the valet just extends the life of an se a little.
 
You can get Feather single edge blades that fit the Valet razor at " razorbladesandmore " under the single edge blade section.
They are about $6 for 5 not including postage.

Parwin, I want to get some, if shipping from the states is a bit high, would you be in for some?

edit: shipping is $3.50, which is reasonable, might get 2 packs for my valet...
 
Thanx for the heads up..I didnt know that they were that different :mrgreen:
Rolls Razor=mini straight razor
Valey Autostrop=SE blades work fine?

That is not bad at all. I thought it would have been a lot more.
