Gillette’s business model was brilliant. Practically give the razors away and make your money on selling the blades. (I think printer companies are using the same idea). After using disposables for several years, I found my old Trac II. Bought some blades on Amazon for a reasonable price and have been happy with the results.

Kodak became a monopoly by selling inexpensive cameras, and then made a fortune on film sales and processing.

Gillette actually mailed me a free Fusion out of the blue years ago. I use it on the weekends & use an electric razor during the week.

I too use my old Trac II razor from back in the 80s maybe. a ‘blade’ lasts me a month.
