Gillete's dictum : give away the razors, charge the hell out of 'em for the blades. This kinda backfired, where I'm from. Sensor II razor was so popular they were forced to continue selling the blades ever after. I'm on a 15 year old razor, buying a blade every 2 months. The modern innovations do not impress. I give gilette like around a dollar a month, and I don't begrudge them that. It's a great razor, with great blades. Screw the 3 and 4 blade things, they don't do it for me. So yah.
