Default Would you pay $100,000 for a razor?

Would you pay $100,000 for a razor?

I read a news in net which surprised me and a regarding the cost of single razor which is $100,000 un-believable. I must say simply those who are countless money received through their parents or earned without any efforts perhaps always remain hungry how I can spend my money and reduce some tension that you reduce your wealth.

This razor which cost $100,000 is total waste of money if spend for some noble cause such as build HOSPITAL, SCHOOL, HELPING NEEDY etc etc than you perhaps remembered in general public hearts for some time?

The quality of said razor is made of "Zafirro Iridium" The Company boasts a 10-year blade life, and backs it up with free sharpening for a decade if the razor ever dulls.

I never heard or saw any one yet buying so expensive razor. In our Pak Rupees it comes to Rs.86,00,000 from which one can do many things. Even start own small business or do investing in stock or buy a decent flat or what else in this budget.

When a richest person buy such type of razor than what he want to proof that he is richest or foolishness person in the world.


Thanking You.

Most expensive razor: Zafirro Iridium sets world record

And men complain about the cost of our shoes? Tsk tsk!!!!

Thanks for the info Sharif. I agree with you, totally pointless wastage of money and resources. Not to forget un-hygienic. Yuck!

(Post note - Fact: Iridium is the densest and least corrosive metal of all times .
Some paint manufacturers used to add iridium to their black colours as it ''blackens'' the black.Parker pens have been said to have iridium nibs.

Maybe someday....... if it is not already happening, it could be used in the production of space crafts sent on sampling missions???)

If you are rich enough to afford such a razor then you don't need all the things that Sharif mentions.......And for all sharif knows anyone who buys this razor may hvae already given millions to charity so again his whole argument is pointless.....
