That's what I thought too... I stopped by both of them... they no longer carry them... they weren't out. They no longer have a part number for them.

We're in a smaller market. I'm sure it's possible we have less selection here. I was sure Lowe's would have them. They have a large section of hard-to-find things in drawers. No luck there.
I believe they are used more on the artisan/small batch/expensive Stainless Steel razors. From what I have read the reasoning was that Stainless has more of a tendency to scratch, gouge, and gall than Brass or chrome plated parts do. I am not sure if this is true or not, its just what I read. So i believe folks that are particular about their stuff or that flip $$$ razors often use the washers to prevent marks caused from removing/installing the handle to the base.
I used one for a while on my Game Changer, but I kept losing it about every other time I changed blades so I just gave up on it and don't bother with them now.

Ok, now I may have a problem. The first step in correcting a problem is admitting there may be one.
Ok, who are we kidding. I have a new dreamsheet. I dropped two razors from it. Added this one, then bought it. I blame @NurseDave and @Fenster - I can’t keep up with their watch acquisitions.
I communicated with the artisan -he’s going to polish mine before sending it.

I have a Paradigm Diamondback 2020 coming. I had one when they first came out and sold it because I thought it was a bit too heavy for me. But I am finding that a progressive arm tremor now means that somewhat heavier razors are more stable for me.
That's one I've always wanted to try.

When I had one briefly in 2020, I don't think I even used it at all before returning it to the manufacturer, but my recollection - quite possibly faulty - is that it is supposed to be slightly more aggressive and perhaps slightly less smooth than the 17-4. We'll see.
Father - Son bonding time. I just bought this for my youngest son. We’re going to ship it off to North Shore Razors for a paint job. I’m hoping he picks Steelers colors, but he is leaning towards Yankees colors. If that happens- I’ll just pretend it is the 1944 & 45 Phillies.
I see this in my future, sometime in June or July.
I didn't know you were allowed to buy new razors too!
If it goes down and no geopolitical or natural disaster stops it. This will be my first new razor. Every other razor I've ever purchased was either used or vintage.
I'll have to sell a razor or two that I have now to finance it though.
