Sorry, but I think so. I know :deadhorse:
Seriously... saying a product is priced high for the features is not negativity about the company, the product, or the initiative shown. Saying that you shouldn't have to tape a spine to hone it anything but nonsense. If someone didn't know this information, they may never get a proper edge on it. That would be much more damaging to the long term prospects of the initiative than having these discussions.
I fail to understand why we should support an American product that we may feel is overpriced (based on features). I don't buy American cars that don't represent a good value. So, why should I buy a razor that doesn't IMO? I don't like the idea of preventing the free flow of products into the US either because I don't like the idea of paying a higher price because something was made/grown in the US. Notice that no one is saying that it isn't good.
I know where you guys are coming from when you say that if you don't own one you can't say anything about the value of it, but that's illogical. If they charged $10,000 for it, would you still make the argument? Obviously, that's an absurd example, but it illustrates the point. You can make a value judgment on something you don't own. You do it all of the time when making purchases in every facet of life. Does this make sense? If not, there's no reason for either side to continue to discuss this. It's silly for you guys to say the same thing repeatedly only to have us retort the same tired stuff that we've already said repeatedly.
The point is, when you start talking that kind of money, why not just get a razor that's got a lot of bling to it? If you want to support it, great. Get after it. However, at the end of the day, you've got a Camry for the price of a Lexus GS 350. It's nice, it's well made, it's plain and functional... It's just overpriced. I'm done making that point.
