At least that's how a serious and smart business would approach it. The blades ARE what brings in the money, the razors not at all. Can't recall ANYONE in my entire family and friends buying more than one Gillette razor whichever it might've been, just not necessary. If the razor fails on me once, I'm buying another brand, it's that simple. (I'm not as concerned with cosmetics than functionality)
For Gillette's (and ours) best interest the razor should be of decent lasting quality. If not, well damn them!
