Thread: Razor prices

I think it will eventually come down. Usually price is supply and demand, but occasionally you hit "tulip bulb" periods where prices just get silly for something (whether it's for tulip bulbs, internet stocks or razors), but that kind of pricing usually exhausts itself eventually. And if straight razors continue to get hotter, hopefully some of the old manufacturers will get back into and we'll be able to get new friodurs etc. for good prices, and that will rationalize the old razor market. For me, it seems like getting good unflashy new razors is more cost effective than ebaying, so that's my coping strategy.

ome heatiHng oil is projected to reach the £1 per litre by the year 2010. Now that IS scary.

For you US guys, that approx $2 per litre.

Poona wouldnt that be 4$ per litre?

I'm guessing a large part for the recent rise in razor prices is the weak dollar. We here in europe have been ordering things like crazed people from the US. The prices are just too good too pass up. buying things from the US typically saves me 25%. for example a four pack of the new fangled gillette fusion cartridges cost $25.00 here in Sweden, looks like they cost about $11.00 in the US. Even if we are not buying all the razors, we are buying some and willing to pay much higher prices forcing the prices up for you guys. (but be happy it will help the US economy)

Litre? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the metric system. Or any other foreign language.

4 litres is about 1 us gallan. A litre of petrol (us=gas) is £1.10 ( $2.20) now and rising here.
So I pay nearly $9 a gallon of juice, but I drive a diesel car and thats £1.22 a litre.
God help us

Lucius, you speak a foreign language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, I was just messing around.

No, no foreign language for me, although I did take Spanish for several years in school and know obscene phrases in various others. I was in the UK two years ago and I have to say the Welsh sound like they're speaking a foreign language to me.

Here in Canada, where our dollar is now as strong as the U.S. dollar, or some days stronger, we're paying $1.24 a liter for gas. They say by 2010 it will be two dollars. It's rather ridiculous, as so many of us live in rural locations.

Also, typically, we're still paying an extra twenty percent or so on anything that comes from the U.S. even when our dollar was well over the American dollar last year. Go figure. :P

Welsh is actually a native language of the UK. Much older than English.
