They created an oligopoly. Nobody is allowed to manufacture generic razor blades for powered razors because of patent law. So they make a killing by driving up razor prices.

Because the two companies patented every conceivable way to manufacture a powered razor, nobody can really get in there without paying them hefty royalties.

Another reason patents are a mistake.
Get a Merkur safety razor right now:

I change the razor once every two weeks, spent less than $50 on the razor with a packet of 100 razors five years ago, have no spent a single cent on shaving since beside shaving cream.

That's a damn good looking razor! Amazing aesthetics; looks nice and heavy; is it steel or chrome?

I'm getting one, that's all there is to it. A man should start the day with something that approximates the feel of a hand grenade or a M1911, not a fucking tampon inserter. :goteam: :drunk:

I'll trade you a brand new one for a case of Natty. You have to drive to some state park in Tennessee to collect though.

Deal. I'm going to Nashville in maybe about ten weeks or so for some vacation.

My friend lives there shacked up with a Filipino girl... I'm not saying I would normally go there (though some neighborhoods are kind of cool, like his)

Mostly around the town. The national park is fine. It's huge. There are fires in the parks every year. They usually don't affect surrounding towns that badly.
