This discussion goes along with something I've been wondering this morning. Even if I somehow can get PRC to say, "Sure, ship your razor back and we'll be happy to rework it for you," maybe the risk...

Heh ... well, I turned 57 a while back. Glad to hear that qualifies as "young"! :)
Anyhow, the time frame itself wouldn't concern me, except for two things. One is that PRC is consistently and... -

I'm really trying hard not to be incendiary in my comments here, and to give PRC the benefit of the doubt as much as possible. I absolutely do not want to be vindictive or come across as such. But...

I think my situation is the combined product of a couple of issues. One is that they've realized that their shipping delays are a potentially serious threat to their business, and so they're rushing...

You know, I was actually thinking that those order numbers were pretty low -- that's only about a razor a day, which is nowhere near enough to sustain a business. I hope there's another order...
