They might also need a different supplier for a different steel, too. I do think better scales would be easy, though.

Those are just the obstacles that come to my mind based on the little I know about making razors. And I know next to nothing. I bet any of the guys who actually make razors could point out lots more complications. The factory might have to completely retool.
I agree 100%. But that's why I allowed for a tripling of their per-unit cost, which I think is quite generous.
