Why are Razors so f*cking Expensive?

I shave every 3 days because I have sensitive skin and couldn't shave every day.

I don't bish, because a set of 4 Fusion blades cost me 14 bucks, but lasts me like 6 months. So 28 smacks a year is not that bad.

I take care of my razors and can get a good month sometimes 2 on one razor. Still get good close shave.

They give you the razor to sell you the blades.That's how alot of companies work.They sell you something real cheap, but in order to continue using it you can only buy there product to replace the existing one.

Really, I just want to know why. Why do four little shaving razors cost 14.99? I can go to the hardware store buy a bunch of blades and a blade holder for less then that.
Are they hard to manufacture? High demand? Or do they just like to f*ck with us since everyone has to shave?

shit my hommie's dad had one of those Braun 360's electric shaver's tried it and fell in love..

dropped $275.00 and bought one 2 year's ago. love it, clean's it's self, stay's sharp. dose a great job.

i feal that i get a closer shave with out razor burn with it.. was worth every penny.

I just trim my neck and cheeks up a little with a neck trimmer...haven't shaved in a couple years and will never go back.

Very difficult to manufature.

Look at it like this, if one of those blades is off by even a FRACTION of a millimeter (or even slightly bent), if you try to use it it'll slice off your skin quicker than you can imagine.

They have to be made VERY precise and dead on consistent or else hundreds of thousands of people would be suing the manufacturer.

I used to be like that, every 2-3 days now, and it only grows in certain spots
