#59: Disposable Razors
It’s widely acknowledged that disposable razors aren’t budget-friendly, with their effectiveness taking a nosedive after just three uses. Once they’ve been used that many times, these razors become dull and inefficient, failing to provide a close shave and often leading to nicks and razor bumps. The recommendation is to discard them after this point, emphasizing their fleeting utility.
The steep price of disposable razors can be perplexing, but brand loyalty plays a significant role. As CBS highlights, consumers tend to stick with a brand once they commit to it. Knowing this, companies feel empowered to gradually increase prices, secure in the knowledge that their established customer base will likely remain loyal despite rising costs.
