Saw this in Norway. Most everyone in Scandinavia uses sorbo. The main european importers are in Denmark which may have something to do with it.

I even bought one of their squeegies myself. Has the corners filed off to aid getting ionto the corners. Very well made but a bit clumsy. The rubbers are not easily available here and are fairly expensive £4-£5 each in my limited experience. This might explain the existence of this machine. Unfortuantely, their squeegies and rubbers are incompatible with competitors equipment.

Went back to my trusty ettore brass. Use pulex for 35p each. Not really worth sharpening them. Even for canny Scots like me.

Use pulex for 35p each.

Where do you get those from?  I think the cheapest I've got worked out at 80p for one 14" strip, but you had to buy them in bulk; then add postage.

Last time I bought 100 36" lengths for about £120

I cut them into 3 x 12" strips.

works out about 35p + VAT
