It's the best scam we have going in this century. |
Actually, I think the best scam is all the new "technology" in razor blades. Remember when I pack of replacement twin blades cost $5 or $6? Now you easily pay $15-$20 (or more) for triple, quadruple, or even quintuple blade razors...and now they even vibrate (which means you have to pay money for the battery).
Of course if you were perfectly happy with an ordinary twin blade razor and don't want to pay more for the gimmick, you're out of luck.
