So my search for stainless steel razors led me to the rockwell site, who are having 20% discount on razors currently. I added the product to my cart and saw they are providing free international shipping (tracked).
Obviously this is a great offer, however the catch is the uncertainty with Indian customs. If you're lucky there will be no hassle, else you're staring at customs duty of atleast βΉ2-3k extra.
So i'm saving this for future, or if I get hold of someone coming from US/Canada.

On September 28, 2021, about 0900 central daylight time, a Rockwell International 690B airplane, N690LS, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Hiles, Wisconsin. The pilot and two passengers sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 aerial imagery survey flight. According to the operator, the flight mission was to obtain aerial imagery of the forest vegetation for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Preliminary automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast information (ADS-B) revealed the airplane departed the Rhinelander-Oneida County Airport, Rhinelander, Wisconsin, about 0850. About 0858, the airplane began to level off about 15,600 ft with a maximum groundspeed of 209 knots (kts). Between 0858 and 0900, the airplane continued level flight; however, the groundspeed decreased to about 93 kts. The ADS-B data ended at 0900:56 (see Figure 1.). According to air traffic control, a "mayday, mayday, maydayβwe're in a spin" transmission was broadcast. The airplane was not under air traffic control during the flight or at the time of the accident. Figure 1. Airplane Flight Path and Accident Site Location A witness, located about one mile from the accident site, reported he heard a "loud, strange sounding airplane." He looked up and noticed an airplane "nose down at high rate of speed spinning about its longitudinal axis at about 30 to 60 rpm." The witness lost sight of the airplane behind some trees and then heard an impact. The airplane wreckage was located during an aerial and ground search in wetlands and wooded terrain about 10 miles east of Eagle River, Wisconsin, and 1 mile west of Butternut Lake, in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The wreckage was distributed in a diameter of about 50 yards. A majority of the main wreckage was found beneath the water surface with some debris located in the trees. The airplane wreckage was recovered for further examination.

On August 10, at 0740 central daylight time, a Rockwell International S2R agricultural airplane, N4956X, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Strasburg, North Dakota. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight. An employee of the pilot, who loaded the chemical on the airplane, stated that the pilot was alert and in a good mood as usual. She met the pilot at the loading pad at 0630, whereupon she loaded the hopper with chemical, then the pilot departed about 0645. The pilot returned to the airport at 0721 after he sprayed the first field. The airplane was rinsed and loaded with a new chemical; the pilot departed again to spray a sunflower field. She added that she had never witnessed nor heard the pilot mention any issues with the airplane's GPS. A colleague of the pilot, who was familiar with the operation, stated that the pilot was completing his second aerial application flight of the day and intended to apply insecticide to a sunflower field. He and the pilot had sprayed this field many times before, which was always done in a north-south racetrack pattern. He had never seen the pilot spray this field in an east- west pattern before, and that it shouldn't be done due to the large powerlines on the west side. He stated that the pilot had recently experienced problems with the airplane's GPS. A witness driving eastbound observed the airplane flying west after it exited the sunflower field. The airplane then collided with the power lines, then crashed onto a road and slid into a field. Figure 1 depicts the field in red, power lines in yellow, and main wreckage location overlaid onto Google Earth. Figure 1 Ε Google Earth overlay of field, powerlines, and main wreckage location. A postaccident examination revealed three damaged power lines on the west side of the target field. The east side line was the least damaged but was still mostly intact. The center line was mostly severed with less than a third of the wire strands intact. The west side line was completely severed and lying on the ground. On the ground underneath the powerlines were several pieces of the accident airplane. A separated piece of the right wing leading edge exhibited impact marks and scoring consistent with the twisted metal power line. The field of airplane debris extended west of the power lines up to the main wreckage location. Figure 2 shows the main wreckage with

How would Norman Rockwell International Airport in New York City have got it's name and what type of architectural design do the terminals have? What else do you notice about the airport?
