Honestly I could care less how many people work at them. I see no relevancy to that point. They are producers of large volumes of straight razor that deliver their products to to consumer or reseller without them being ready for use. That's is the whole point. It is odd that any item would require further work in order to be able to use it. A new items is most often ready to use, except for razors. I find it unusual. You obviously do too or you would not have posted #18
