In a way that's the conundrum for the manufacturer.

While I realize their business is more than razors... looking just at the razors it's hard to justify continued production. A razor off the line today is no better than one made 80 years ago from a practical perspective. There are plenty of vintage razors sitting around... as we all know a well cared for razor will last a lifetime.

Completely the opposite from say, the I-Phone model which is sustained by inherent obsolescence... It's an interesting problem... one that's not good for their bottom line... compounded by a slow growth market...
