Don't think so. Is more like we, the consumers, are silly nough to buy it. But I must admit, todays Gilette blades are way better than the blades from several years ago.

A magnum of Champagne is cheaper than ink cartridges.

Yep - old give away the razor so that you have to buy the blades trick!


But yeah - I like my electric Norelco. Has cool displays and all sorts of gadgets on it - (probably cooks toast too but I haven't figured that part out yet). And yes, it beats slopping shaving cream all over your face and using a blade any day! As for cut, if you keep good heads in the thing - replace them once every year or two - it cuts as good as the blade does as far as I can tell.

You are supposed to replace those things? I haven't replaced the ones in my Remington in like 10 years (Although the springs in one of the three heads is broken and the trimmer stopped working a long time ago- did those ever work?) and it still cuts good when they are clean (about every 3 months they start to get clogged up until it starts to pull on the hair and not cut all of it, after a few weeks of that I clean it).

I know - you don't have to replace them - they just cut better if you do. The main effect I notice is the speed at which it cuts with newer heads. The older the heads get, the slower it cuts and it just takes more time getting that hair off your face! If you don't replace them, no big deal, but it works better if you do.

Is that because they can't afford a razor in TX, but bullets are plentiful? :p
