Just picked these guys up again at the dollar store. How do they manufacture, package, pay employees, pay rent, pay TMI, ship them and still make a profit? 10 blades for $1 is just one example.

They actually lose money on several items just to get you in the store

Two possibilities

literal slave labor

they make it up on volume. Just think how many are liberated by the local youth (tax loss write offs)

Firstly, shipping is free (and/or heavily subsidized) paid by taxpayers because the US offshored all manufacturing, everywhere, and are encouraged to do so for short-term corporate profits.

Second, razors are one of those things that are ridiculously over-priced for some reason. My grocery store has them behind lock-and-key. It’s likely to be price-fixing or something, but I don’t know.

You get these name-brand razors with 5 blades that cause skin rashes… I’ve used dollar-store disposables for nearly 20 years now. I like them better.

Mattresses are another thing.

The material cost is like $0.02 on each, if you make something in high enough volume and it's easy enough to ship, you can make things extremely cheap. See also $1 Aliexpress products.
Name brands are definitely fixing the prices, even within the Gillette lineup, their disposable 4-blade razor costs way less than replacement cartridges for the non-disposable 4-blade, despite having the same blade design.

This lack of cognition is why you are so poor, hungry, and dirty.
>>
>>2879611
they are made by machines that make thousand of them per hour that's how.

Because people steal them.
>>
>>2879611
Use double edge razor's like White man.
>>
>>2880053
You can't 3d print a machined blade
