Rip off merchants in this world

[TiroFijo]

But you cannot manufacture razor blades, printer cartridges, coke etc. In other words, importance given to merchants who hold us to ransom.

I use the original safety razor that takes the double edge blades, they only cost about £2.50 for five. None of those raygun looking razors thar have umpteen blades on em and cost an arm an leg to buy!

I moved from pricey Gillettes to Safety.
Specifically Mühle razor and Derby Blades (€10 for 100 )

After a learning curve: never looked back. This is my tip of the day on CUK.

Been thinking about moving to Mühle. Right now a pack of ten Machx blades lasts me about two years cos I can't be arsed changing them every time they stop causing cuts hence blunt. A six month old blade does a reasonable job and causes my skin less irritation than a new blade.

So who are the blatant rip off merchants in this world?

1. Gillette:- Their blades cost them 5 pence to manufacture in Vietnam but they control prices at more than 2 quid per blade.
2. Printer manufacturers:- The printer cartridges cost them next to nothing to manufacture but still they have the audacity to sell at a huge markup.

Same business model. Oddly enough, known as the 'Razor and blades' business model.
