Well stated, @Bogeyman
To me the shavers that go on and on about price are like the old farts that talk how a cup of coffee was a nickel and you got free refills.
WADR, I don't ever refer to what shaving gear cost in my younger days; my complaints are all centered around what it costs now, and my comparisons are to what else is available now. Twenty or thirty cents a shave for a disposable, and upward of that for a name-brand cartridge, vs three cents a shave (or less... I use primo blades) seems a smidge extravagant.
