Who the fuck sets the prices for these things?
Check out the list of prices on this link ----> Razorblade Cartridges @ shopping.com An 8 cartridge pack is set at twenty dollars? Sure they may last a while, but in their right mind shaves once a year to get their money's worth?
Most men and women use the cartridge based personal razor as opposed to the electric models. I believe they cut better, not prone to the maintenance an electric is, and leave a smoother, closer shave. Not to mention, you don't run the chance of electrocution or battery dying mid-shave.
I use the Gillette Fusion currently and am pleased with its performance. What I find so mind-fuckingly outrageous is the price of the cartridges! In most cases, it is cheaper to buy a completely new razor than it is to purchase the cartridges.
GF, how do you feel about the cost of the cartridge razor?
