Yet the DE razor is both hugely better and hugely cheaper. In the West they are far more popular than the double edged (DE) safety razors that this blog is about. Of course these marketing people are massively successful (rivalled only be De Beers and the global diamond monopoly) and many hundreds of millions of men around the world are perfectly happy to pay enormous prices on an ongoing basis for these patent protected system razor blade cartridges. Then their marketing people have to convince us that the new patented ideas are worthwhile. But patents run out, so each of these companies is forced to bring out a succession of new models with new patents in them. These patents give these big global companies monopolies in supplying the very expensive blade cartridges needed for their razors. The two big global system razor companies, Procter & Gamble (Gillette) and Energizer (Schick and Wilkinson Sword) make their huge profits by patenting features on their system razors which their marketing people can try and convince us are benefits. But don’t worry, there is some method in my madness.
