Gimmick does not mean bad or deceptive -- look it up before you tear into me. It is a device to catch someone's attention for the purpose of making a sale. If that makes someone buy razors from SRD, then it is effective and I do not have any problem with that, and if SRD honors its promise of lifetime honing, then everyone has made out well. So what is the problem? Offering customers free financing with a car is a sales gimmick. Offering free shipping to the first 100 callers is a sales gimmick. Offering free lifetime honing for people who buy razors is a sales gimmick. Sheesh.

Next, Hayduke asked for OPINIONS from the group, so my offering my two cents is no more or less meaningful than all of the other advice that was given here. Lots of my advice was the same as that given by others, only they did not get "flamed" by the more "senior" members.

Anyway, it's true that I haven't been a member here as long as some others, but if being a long-time member entitles you to put down others who are trying to offer an honest opinion to a member who has asked for it, then maybe that's a good thing.

Giving an opinion regarding something that you do not and have not owned would seem agenda driven and not in the spirit of this forum. Your persistence here is for what purpose an and answer should not be forthcoming. Perhaps another forum..............

I think it's time to close this one.
