Can Someone Explain To Me Why Nas and Bevel Are Charging $200 for Trimmers!?!?

[mobbinfms]

Why have you still not updated the title? Nas doesnt own Bevel and has no say in the pricing.

He's an investor which means he likely owns a small percentage of the company, but I could be wrong.

I love Nas discussions around here.....

It goes from Nas sucks, he's not a business man like Jay-z. He's broke. To this, nitpicking investments.

main point is the price point comes from the top, as an investor/brand ambassador he isn't touching that. OP still hasn't corrected it

This could have been so much bigger if not for this stupidity

These cats could have gotten black men away from gilette and started a revolution...But no they wanna charge an arm and a leg. These guys constantly wanna be out of the price range of Black people.

It's a full featured wireless trimmer in a market with established players. The economics of scale of andis and wahl make it hard to lower prices.

That makes sense.

I've had an andis t outliner for about 5 years now. The time and difficulty regarding adjustment(zero gapping) of the blade has been exaggerated in this thread and I've only had to repurchase a blade 4 times in that time span and and never because of rust as the andis oil undermines that issue for me. In terms of the overheating most barbers I follow either use the Wahl detailer which doesn't overheat or they do the homemade remedy by sawing off the top part of the andis. If auto zero gapping and anti-residue blades are the main elements justifying the price tag then I don't personally think it is worth it. But the market is subjective and so if others feel that those two elements justify a $200 price tag I will be pleasantly surprised, but given the aforementioned workarounds barbers have constructed over the years I am highly skeptical.

i agree, $200 is alot but these are premium clippers breh the engineering and design in the price. It's like saying a cricket phone does the same job as an iphone. Yeah it does but the iphone is funner and easier to use and better looking stylistically.

Additionally, these are probably closer to made to order and they don't have scale to produce like Andis and get this to $990-150 price tag.

1. the adjustable dial
2. made specifically for curly coarse hair
3. convienance of being home with a professional grade clipper
4. mobile/cordless for 4 hours
5. rechargeable
6. blades are supposedly coated to last longer
7. runs cooler by 30 degrees. (5 minutes with my t-outliner and it gets hot)

without any real reviews it's hard to say.

and here's the indian company who is trying to copy Bevel's steeze

Bombay Shaving Company | Welcome

which is why we need to support people in America who come with ideas, specifically ones that cater to our demographic. While there's a slight premium, we do need to understand alot of products aren't made for us and the innovation hasn't been there. They kind of threw us the Andis clippers and said eat for the last 20 years

meanwhile OP dont even own any clippers and he acting offended by the price of Bevel trimmers

I been seeing a lot of those grey andis with the top part cut off. What does that do?

 

[WOLF2007]

If you cant afford it dont buy it. shyt so e of you nuccas don't want to pay for shyt. If thats too much for your budget stfu and buy something in your range

You saw it off. It keeps them cool. The best to keep them cool is to not have them on when you're using them aka switching em on and off when edging yourself up

 

[Family Man]

Perhaps it's good. I don't understand these context less type of questions, perhaps it's a high end trimmer. Philips and Braun have a bunch of trimmers in that price range.

Right. Or for the nikkas whining cause they can't afford it, Walmart has some shyt that is inline with their budget.
