If the blades lasted 2 years, how would they make any money?

The whole point is to get you hooked so that you keep buying blades, because that's where the profit is. Like printer ink.

yes, I agree. In fact, when I have marketing discussions, I've often heard people casually and confidently refer to "the razorblade model" knowing that the industry and that kind of approach are so closing fused( no pun intended) together.

Since I am retired and looks don't appear to affect my social standings, I shave part of my face (I sport a beard) only when I feel like it. Disposable, inexpensive blades do me just fine, thank you.

I use each disposable razor at least twice, because I am frugal. Parsimonious. Cheap.
