|
over claiming the Mach-Whatever vibrating men's razor working better than others. They're just trying to grab as much cash as possible out of a gimmick.

| 3. I think as they tell it the vibrating is supposed to lift the hair up and |
|
make it easier to cut. They way I figure it. Its nothing more than a stupid gimmick to jump the price up on something that really should be cheap. The started it with the mens razors and now they have got hit with a cease a desist order because they can't prove it makes any difference.

| 12. The marketing of razors makes me crazy |
|
Whenever new (meaning more expensive) razor techology comes out, the old stuff goes away. I went to buy plain old twin blades and found that, at Target, they only come in one size in the store brand. And forget about buying a new handle--just can't find 'em.
