I smell like a Christmas pudding
There is no reason why the retail price of a razor, or any other product, must have any relation to the cost of manufacture. A company will often charge whatever they think they can get away with an eye on their target market and whatever the competition are charging. The customer is free to purchase at that price if they think the value is there, or not purchase if they do not. What the customer values may be anything at all, often totally unrelated to manufacturing cost, or performance relative to cheaper products. There does not have to be a reason or explanation other than that and often there isn't.^^^Exactly !
So,that leaves me with a question ...
For what exactly ?
Do I pay the cost of a great tool ,or I’m obligated to pay also for the brand,status-quo ,fetishism and/or collectability of a x razor bears ?
Even if it’s made from inferior materials,just to make things worse ...
