Yawn, change the record, this one's stuck.
I agree with your point about people rather having a truly Gillette manufactured razor rather than a re-branded Merkur or whatever, maybe if this does well a new Gillette DE might happen, they certainly have the muscle to make it so...
there is NO MONEY in it for Gillette. They have already proven they only kept making their OWN DE razor blades for the india market SIMPLY because they had been unable to find a way to make a high profit cartridge razor that could be afforded by anyone in the indian markets. NOW that they have developed a lower cost cartridge razor for the market around india..... NOTICE that their DE razor blade production has gotten rather screwy.
you standard cartridge razor from Gillette and Schick costs them 10 to 20 cents EACH depending on the number of blades in it. And understand they sell those cartridges at anywhere from 2.50 to 4.50 EACH depending on the package option and number of blades.
