The Gillette Company
I had a conversation in Houston waiting for a plane the other day with the Gillette rep for Texas--my question was, "how come I can buy Mack3 razors at flea markets, new in the box for about 1/2 of what I pay at Wal-mart?" His response--razor blades are the most shoplifted item in the grocery store and they steal them and peddle them at the flea markets. I guess that's why they are so high--so cover for shrikage. This is an affluant society where razor blades are hot property for thieves, you'd have a hard time in the Muslem world, since most men don't shave.
