I've got a drawer full of blades of various sorts, but the good thing about eBay sellers was the range on offer. If you couldn't find what you wanted from one, there'd likely be another. The one area I'm not happy about is the possible difficulty in obtaining the rarer Japanese AC blade varieties.
Of course, it's a sign of the times and the collective madness. If it's a UK government thing (which I doubt somehow) then inevitably it's misconceived in the first place and the unintended effects and consequences completely ignored. Razor blades can't be sold to anyone under 18, and I guess that eBay have this or something similar in mind. Out of interest, has anyone come across a recent statement from eBay on this?
