One-Hundred Thousand Dollar Razor

#1

Post by VG-10 »

Hey, check this out. This razor is made from Iridium and the blades are made from artificially grown Sapphire. I think that Spyderco should get some of this Iridium and make a sprint run Caly 3.5 with an Iridium handle...I think i'll pass on the Sapphire blade though, since Iridium can survive being dropped into molten lava I think H1 steel should be used. We'll see how tuff H1 really is, on our next trip to a volcano. :D

Pfffff, i used to buy those 6 at a time and throw'em away after one shave. I've since moved on to shaving with laser beams.

Ohhhh **** NO... last time I showed my beard to someone else with a razor I let them talk me into shaving me. Well they slipped me a mickey and I deeply got my throat cut... clear through to my spinal canal.

They had hunnerds o' thousans o' dollars prolly, all kinds of knives and shiny, fancy gadgets that beeped and flashed and all became quite involved for hours on end.

I mean I LOVE knives, but the mixed expensive ones with all the business of multi- level laminectomies.... foraminotomies... titanium implants...

Them hustlers fused three cervical vertebrae two years ago at the VA Hospital here.

It All Started With A DOC And A RAZOR.

-- and now you got your lot of Nine Million, Nine Hundred Thousand buck hoarded THROAT KNIVES (...umm-- razors...yeah...)

I had a $100,000 Frisbee. A car dealership that owed Citicorp PtP $400,000 went under and my buddy, the Treasurer at Citi PtP could only recover 4 frisbees with the car dealers name on them. Those Frisbees were on Citicorp's books for $400,000 so the one he gave me was $100,000. Unfortunately my dog ate it.

Oh well, I guess you have to be an accountant to find that amusing. . .
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Reminds me, I need to buy more double edge razor blades.

$35 for a 200 pack sounds pretty fair now that I think of it.

Okay, 100K and a ten year warranty? for 10K a year I can do a lot of things that are more satisfying than "my razor can get a table where your razor cannot".

Brilliant, they will sell every last one of them to dumb, billionaire CEOs and rappers. Wish I had come up with that one.

Thats 10 million dollars, minus probably 10k for materials and machining, add another 10k for sharpening and blade replacement over the next 10 years. Thats a pretty nice profit margin :p
