I've tried to research this but everywhere I go to do so believes in the wage gap so they're pretty untrustworthy
>>68159065
Only women would be dumb enough to buy "girl" razors. Its the same thing
>>68159065
women razors are made with diferent shit since they are mostly use for the legs and armpits.
>>68159065
Pink plastic is more expensive because they have to mine it from Chile with specialist trade agreements
>it's blue it's for boys, it's pink it's for girls
I thought feminists loved tearing down gender social constructs
Also
>implying the pink plastic costs the same as blue plastic
Is there some difference between the mens and womens razors? Like a curved blade better suited for areas other than the face or a longer thicker handle. If the only difference is the color pink then they deserve to pay more. Nothing stopping them from getting the mens razor.
>>68159065
>>68159217
Have you ever tried to use wome razor?
I had to try when I was at my gf summer house.
Shitload of lubricant, over-protected blade and very thick rubber handle. This is why more expensive.
>>68159217
actually, they aren't.
The blades of women's razors are finer, and made of a stronger steel that doesn't flex as much, but will last longer between replacements.
If you're a man, try shaving your face with a woman's razor, and you'll find that it doesn't work very well with your thick beard, and the blades will actually chip or break after a few shaves.
Men's blades are duller, but stronger, meant to handle thicker, rougher facial hair. They're also absolute MURDER on your skin, which is why men must often use aftershave.
>>68159217
Actually no, women razors are different because they are meant for different body parts. Male razors are square since it's the best shape for face, female razors are rounder since it's more ideal for armits. There are more differences but I won't go into detail because OP is bait.
>>68159065
if women can legally buy the blue razors then only a complete retard thinks it's some kind of issue.
>>68159065
>men have beards that they shave
>women have legs which grow a lot less hair than a man's beard, so they need to shave a lot less often
>women can remove said hair with: wax, one of those buzzing thingies, shaving.
>men can only shave using razor and they need to shave often.
>demand for men's razors >> demand for women's razor's, since the latter need them less often and they also have different options
>Law of supply and demand ====> bigger demand, lower prices
End of story
>>68159674
why are you accusing feminists of ignoring the inanity of having separate color coded products for men and women in a discussion about feminists acknowledging this very issue
when they're cheaper, i just buy the blue ones, never noticed a difference....
>>68160287
>bigger demand, lower prices
>>68159065
You don't need to research this. Even if men's products cost less it shouldn't matter.
There are two options in that case:
The male product is of equal or greater quality compared to the female product. In which case female should purchase the male product to save money. After all Femininity isn't so fragile that women must purchase a pink product right?
Or:
The female product is of superior quality to the male product, in which case the higher price is justified.

nothing stopping them from buying the blue so why even bitch. If women didn't buy the pink razors they wouldn't even be produced
>>68160569
lrn2economiesofscale
If you make a million razors the cost per razor will be lower than if you made a thousand razors.
>>68159065
Supply/demand . Simple economics, cuck.
Women use razors more then men. They shave legs, armpits, mustache, pubic, arms.
Men typically use electric shavers or they buy custome razor blades instead of the cheap throwaways. Also note that men are more likely to reuse the same blade multiple times while women will not.
Not sexism. Just capitalism.
There is no difference between the two. The companies who make these know that most women are not discriminating shoppers and are taking advantage of their financial illiteracy.
>>68161083
that isnt the law of supply and demand, retard.
>>68159782
there's millions of dollars of research gone into women's razors. They are not the same at all.
>>68160287
You are backwards leaf. You raise the prices when the demand is high. Lower price when demand is low.
>>68160634
>The female product is of superior quality to the male product, in which case the higher price is justified.
This. In the case of something like razors the female products are marketed as getting a closer shave while leaving less bumps/cuts on the skin. For men they're just like "The fuck are you a pussy? Cuts are natural!"
>>68159065
ofc its true its all marketing, male and females have different shopping patterns, they study this shit in marketing till they fall over.
>>68159065
maybe they have some shit cream or gel you know? to not harm their skin therefore they have a higher cost while men's razor is only a piece of plastic with a metal edge on top, while the women's razor is also piece of plastic with metal edge + aloe + gel + useless shit
anyway if they dont want it why dont they just buy the men's one?
Ya'll nigghas are dumb as shit

canadian economy everyone
>>68162138
the bic razors have exactly the same tipe of head, there is no difference. in many other products too like shaving cream they found its basicaly the same product but with a girly design and higher price. Its not even a big secret, ppl that fall for it are just stupid and uniformed.
Like anything that can be bought, if its shit just dont buy it and find something better and if you want spread the word.
Since when is /pol/ so educated on women's razors?????????????????????
>not using a safety razor
it's like you want to spend a shit ton of money on this multiblade bullshit
>>68163983
i only know of the differences since i tried to use my girlfriends razor on my face to little avail. Apparently an epilator is also not an ideal tool.
>>68164328
are they good? i normally use a clipper to just get my beard super short to a stubble and then a razor to clean up the neck etc. I still have spot issues and rash from shaving and i've been shaving for around 6-7 years now. I'm considering a straight razor.
i got the newest vibrating gillette razor for free in the post
>>68163983
>tfw everyone on /pol has had a gf to use her razor but you.
>Not shaving with a plastic spoon
Fucking pussies. Also, bin that razor.
>>68159674
>tfw Pink and Red use to be male colors as well and women only got yellow
>women stole Pink from us and turned it into a symbol for sissy fucks
>>68164328
>inb4 someone sez straight razor
I use a mix of disposable and safety razors. Disposable when I'm short on time just because the safety razor takes longer to use without butchering yourself.
How many uses do you get out of your DE blades? I get almost a week.
>choose to pay more
>complain
Any store in USA will have even cheaper ones next to the blue ones.
>>68164752
Don't try dry shaving or water only with a DE safety razor, shaving cream of some kind is required.
Beyond that it works close enough, you just have to be slightly more careful than with a multi-blade razor.
>>68165608
hmm i always use gel and hot water before. I've been told a straight shave is less irritating, i had one done and it felt great.
thanks. i'll take a look at some
>>68165395
yeah around 7 uses at least, after that it becomes uncomfortable.
>>68159065
Men need to shave more than women, so demand is higher, driving price down.
>>68159217
virgin?
>>68159065
This is why women need to marry. They only make $0.77 to a man's $1. They will have to be with a man in order to live. Why do you think gay men can afford all their other stupid shit?
>>68161398
No, the law of supply and demand says price will find an equilibrium based on both of these factors.
If demand is high, but relatively constant, bulk manufacturing improvements will lower the cost to the producer, and competition will cause them to lower the price for the consumer.
>>68163983

Some of us are "fallen" leftists who decided to investigate the claims of our former dogmas.
In this, we learn that pretty much everything anyone vaugely left has said has either been an outright lie, a statistical lie, or a misrepresentation of facts (usually an omission lie.)
>>68161083
If you only had a thousand razors, the demand would be greater than if there was millions lying around
Please leave
And for op, it's the same reason women pay hundreds of dollars for brand named purse that took 12 dollars to make. Women control a larger percentage of the disposable income than men
>>68162378
where's your leaf dude?
Mens epilators cost more than women's because they bank on men's insecurities in their masculinity so they're less likely to buy something that looks feminine and they'll pay an extra $10- $20. Emjoi does it all the time.
Similarly I've seen hair straighteners and blow dryers made by Chi that have done the same tactic.
But if you look at things like rayon it's mostly found in women's clothes rather than men's because women prefer the feel of a material over construction quality.
So yeah it goes both ways but it is psychological differences as well.
>>68159065
>2016
>women shaving
smart bitches get their hairs laser'd the fuck off
women's products have different aspects,details,and quality compared to mens products
>buying disposable razors
Double edged safety razor blades are 10 cents a piece and good for at least three shaves.
>>68159065
I work for a razor company and can tell you that women's razors is where the innovation is, and are more complicated and expensive to produce. Men's razors are just use older woman razor's technologies.
This is because a woman's legs and pussy is a lot more difficult to shave, with sharp contours and more sensitive skin. Men's faces have skin that is more flexible and less likely to suffer from razor burn.
>>68160287
>higher demand lower price
Which is why diamonds are cheap right?
>>68171235
diamonds are kept at an artificially low supply by you-know-who, has been that way ever since they successfully shilled for diamonds being part and parcel of wedding rings
>>68171235
sure bud
>>68171235
Diamonds are ridiculously cheap actually. Just buy manufactured diamonds and you can get thousand dollar diamonds for like $100 and they're actually real diamonds.
The diamond industry has just been quite intense in their blockade of getting synthetic diamonds into the market but it's slowly happening.
Plus the cool thing with manufactured ones is you get to pick your impurities which determine colours.
>>68167443
so if you increase supply for a given amount of demand, the price will drop
no fucking shit.
but that isnt where we started, was it?
>>68159065
Women's products cost more because women will pay more for products that cater to their image of femininity. If there is no appreciable difference between those two razors, then it would be foolish to pay more for one than the other. Yet women will because one of them is pink and the advertising is directed towards them.
If you're bored, try looking up "female friendly business certified". It's basically a sticker that businesses like hardware stores will buy and put up in a window to try to show women that they're being catered to. They don't sell pink hammers or do any other stupid shit. They just buy the sticker to give women the image that they're being catered to, to make them feel special. And it works.
