The demise of Agfa papers, then recently Adox, the reborn Agfa, went out of business. That hurt. Zone 7 papers and equipment went bankrupt. That hurt. Fortunately, we have these great inkjet papers, particularly Baryta's, that has taken some of the pain out of things. I am still in the darkroom but getting rid of a lot of extra equipment.
A good lesson to remind us on collecting the required materials that will be needed for a project before or while working on the project. Something that is not always possible, but when it is it’s great to do so. These days with supply chain disruptions it’s even more important to do so to make project deadlines.

You make a good point about planning ahead to keep proper stocks on hand.
But ... I cannot say they're exactly the same as Slickrock Silver, but both Hahnemuhle and Red River Paper carry metallic papers.
