   For years I could not find them at all in local stores.  Now I can find   
   generic store-brand blades, and "Wilkinson Sword" branded blades (made   
   in India) in one locally owned drugstore.   
      
   Almost of the shaving razor market is either disposable plastic razors   
   or proprietary format multi-blade razor cartridge things.  The shelf   
   space used for the ancient double-edge format blades is minuscule.
