If we accept that these are consumables—and that the actual manufacturing cost per unit is practically pennies—why does the retail price stay so high?
It’s quite simple, really: there aren't any cheap alternatives coming out of China to undercut the big-name Western manufacturers and force those prices down... I suspect the reason is that for many Chinese men, facial hair wasn't even a thing until they were hitting their 90s.🤣
