Unless he’s giving them to Michelle Obama, I don’t know.

nothing like a clean shave in the morning...maybe he’s obsessive ...he looks like he has about a weeks or more growth on his face...

or

...instead of selling loose cigarettes - he going to sell loose disposal razors...??? I wonder what the street market is for those....???

Remember that $3500.00 of razors (for either men or women) could fit on a single shelf of a modest-sized closet.

You never know how this story will end up ... for example, once upon a time, somebody we all know looked and smelled like the north end of a south bound goat ... until he got his hands on a razor, a pair of scissors and a bar of soap.

As trade publication Grocery Headquarters wrote, in July, “The most common practice of organized crime rings is a shelf sweep, when a large quantity of high-value items such as razors, teeth whitening strips, and baby formula are taken off the shelf in a short period of time.”

These rings use low-level thieves and turn around and sell the shoplifted razors out of the back of a van, false storefronts, flea markets, and, most notably, on the Internet. With razors, even the Russian mafia supposedly got in on the action with the Mach 3, operating so-called “razorhead” shoplifting gangs across Germany. While organized retail crime is nothing new, Asher says, the ability to move products online has made felony theft more popular.

Retail stores have responded in kind, with increasingly sophisticated electronic practices. About five years ago, stores started to move razors into locked display cases. But then an honest customer would have to search for some hidden employee and wait interminably as the person moseyed over to open the case. Some stores then streamlined the process, adding call buttons next to the case. Now, Asher says, many stores use cases which allow the customer, with a push of button, to get one pack of razors.

Above all, electronic surveillance within stores is more readily employed now. At Tesco branches in the United Kingdom, for example, the company placed RFID tags in the packaging of razor blades; anyone picking up a pack triggered CCTV surveillance of themselves wherever they went in the store.

He invited some friends over for a shaving party and it’s BYO cream or gel?

It’s sad that 3500 dollars of disposable razors even fit in a shopping cart.

The actual production cost of all these razors and their packaging is probably around $300.
