Re: Companies making money of blades
I reckon that the reason that the bearded look (or at least stubble) is particularly common just now is only partly to do with fashion, and also has as much to do with a combination of inherent laziness, Movember ("Hey, that look suits me"), and, especially, "You're charging *how much* for a pack of refill razor blades now?!".
It's less hassle and less expensive just to use a beard trimmer every few days, than feed Big Razor's greed (no, we do not need nor care about 5 blades, plffft...).
