Just opened a batch of vintage Spoilers, and found an interesting flyer as shown below.
This changeover period in shaving, when the balance of power swung to cartridge razors and disposables, reminds me of a similar changeover in watch design, when mechanical movements were replaced by electronic quartz movements.
Ironically, there has been a simultaneous revival in DE/straight razors and mechanical watch movements, as users appreciate the virtues of the earlier technologies.
