Thread: Too good to be true!?

Agree with both of you... The machinery and equipment i agree... Economy wise... Dont agree much ! The euro for europe and the yen in japan are better currency than the dollar! I lived in japan for years i know! Noe the equipment factor i get,.. They are established companies... I will live to own a hart! But i think they are simple razors... Really nice but nothing too special to the eye... Just my .02 cent

Why not? The German government spends twice as much as the American, so German workers get pensions as well as healthcare. In USA you're on your own for those things and if you make razors they end up costing a lot more than those made by your competitors abroad. And then come kids, education - far higher costs if you're a typical American with 2 kids than typical German with 1.5 kids and far higher multiplication factor from the cost itself... Also much fewer billionaires and millionaires in Europe and while the economy is not strictly a zero sum problem, in many cases it is very close to it.

Fortunately there are plenty of vintage razors which have survived in good condition, plus nobody needs more than one razor. One razor for your lifetime as well as that of your children and grandchildren makes it pretty cheap.

Agree! The list is helpful
