“Traditional Razors provide great Shaves but minimal Profits” - They're just no good for mass marketing companies as standardised blades are way too cheap for big profit margins

Most people assume traditional safety razors are obsolete, difficult to use and provide inferior shaves relative to modern, multi-blade cartridge razors. This is not surprising considering that such razors are no longer widely available — and haven’t been for some time. But what isn’t obvious is that these products were intentionally abandoned by their primary manufactures precisely because they presented such a compelling alternative to their higher profit margin modern razors. These manufacturers may indicate otherwise, but the circumstantial evidence makes a compelling case that the disappearance of safety razors has a lot less to do with innovation and a lot more to do with a profit-grab along the lines of the “Light-Bulb Conspiracy” of the 1920’s & ’30s (which kept longer lasting bulbs off store shelves).

Ever wondered why modern multi-blade cartridge razors constantly bring out new designs and none of them can use each other's blades? It's to keep the patents going and stop standardization that would kill off the markups and big profits.
