Gillette is practically giving away the razors, but the price on the blades borders to extortion
Gillette did give away razors. I got their new Triple-Trac (or whatever) with my newspaper one morning and I've bought refills that were really expensive. The razor and razor blade story is the classic example of losing money on one thing to make a bundle on a related item.
