Math is my language Some day, I'm going to get my undergraduate research group to do a tangent project involving shaving physics. They're going to love it :happy102
Off topic I know but I just gotta ask. Alexey, if there aren't a lot of wetshavers in Russia what are they all shaving with and who does ZAO Petersburg Products sell all those millions of DE Iridium, Astra, Sputnik etc blades to? Surely not just us shavegeeks on TSD and B&B etc - we'd only amount to an hour's production a year, if that.
Hi! P&G factory in St. Petersburg does make those blades, but not for Russia and nearby countries. They all go straight to UK and Turkey. You can not even buy those blades directly from them. They send you to their direct distributors and for them it is nothing. They make money from modern shaving systems with a whole bunch of other P&G products. People mostly shave with million-blade cartridges and electrics. But there are a separate group of people that shave the traditional way.
Oh, and Russians just get Gillette Rubie and Sputnik, which are not freely available to UK and Turkey Target markets are divided.
How do you think people in the developing world shave? Certainly not with a fusion. DE shaving is quite common in India and southeast Asia, as well as parts of the African continent.
I know, right? Shaving may be the pitfall of western capitalism. That's right. Gillette caused the financial crisis of 2008. You heard me.
I am thinking that you may either be from Florida, or spent some time here? I have been all around the world and the only place that I have heard "I Know Right" is in Florida....
