These days it has become very
frustrating to me not to find basic things that were once always stocked in
stores. “Brick & Mortar” stores complain that Amazon is taking away a lot
of their business. I always attempt to get things at local stores and go to
Amazon when I cannot find what I need locally.
For example, one of my old school “set
in my ways” things is shaving with a single edge razor. I have used a Schick injector
razor since I was 16. These are superior to the extremely overpriced ineffective
multi blades these days. These days it is impossible to find Schick injector
blades in any store. Hence, I get them at Amazon. I don’t understand why they
are not stocked at stores anymore. Needless to say, it is categorically
impossible to find a Schick Injector razor in any store these days. When I
replaced mine, I had to find an old used one on Ebay. A cursory check of the
hundreds of Amazon customer comments reflects my aggravation that you cannot
find them at local stores anymore. There are countless “old school” shavers
like myself according to my research. That being the case, I’m sure they could
sell Schick injector blades and quality shaving soap and brushes for Baby
Boomers and shaving purists like myself if they stocked them. It is indeed a
mystery to me why they do not stock them anymore. Furthermore, has anyone tried
to find an old fashion GLASS orange juice maker lately? If you can find one,
they are all small undersized plastic; consequently, a click on my Amazon icon
ensues.
These are merely two of dozens of
examples as to why I purchase certain things on Amazon rather than locally. The
bottom line is: “When they start to carry again some of the things I use, I
will buy them locally.”
I’ve always had the thought that I would
like to open a store and stock things not found in stores anymore.
