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

[Perfectson]

I got these and they great in the shop cause they last 4 hrs, string motor and leave crisp lines. Now are they worth 200? Probably not. T-outliner still the king to me, only problem is they get hot fast, which is why I own 4

the question, why the adjustable blade on the Bevels? Are they for beard trimming or can you fade with these?

because of high demand?

because of high demand?

Yeah I guess.

Or they probably not making enough purposely

the razor set isn't overpriced for addressing a need of black men with razor bumps.

the trimmer isn't overpriced if it takes 3-4 clippers and put them into one. Not undrstanding your points here.

That's understandable, Bevel is banking on buyers being misinformed.

The razor is just a safety razor. you can buy one for $10 and get 100 blades off amazon for $10. There is nothing special about the bevel razor, bevel doesn't even have any patents or anything that separates it from every other safety razor on the market. If you think the creams and all that stuff is stopping your razor bumps then ok i guess, I don't see any patents so i doubt the formula is anything ground breaking

As far as the trimmer, being able to adjust a blade whether manually or via attachments is nothing new.

Black people can never sell a quality product at a premium price.

Never ever. Unless u Jordan or Dr. Dre. He got away with the Beats cause most people don't know shyt about audio and them shyts is bass heavy. Look at Bose. People by that shyt and think it's top of the line cause of the price. They don't even give u wattage or ohm's info. The home theater systems are proprietary setups and the sound is terrible. It's just loud. They use paper cones for their speakers. A black man come's out with a product and the shyt gets dissected a million ways so people can find an excuse not to buy it.

And bevel is not beats. Tristan walker is really out here solved decades old problems for black men.

$200 for a high end grooming tool ain't absurd.bet the nikka that posted this owns a peice of shyt $200 pair of sneaks

The product does not stack up with its closest competitor which is 3X cheaper, don't give it excuses because it is black owned.

Smh. We couldnt even go one page without the inevitable "You only questions Blacks on shyt like this".

I'm certain if these trimmers were $350 and the jordan sneakers were $875 you would still make that comment. We cant keep constantly using that line for every situation. Why dont these guys ever try to be affordable for Black people? I'm not asking them to sell for like $9.99 like cheap ass gilette, all I'm saying is keep in mind the demographics your targeting and their income bracket.

Tired of people bringing up jordans 24/7 when things like this happen. stop mentionig the one anomaly. Bottom line alot of these guys are out of touch. Look at how kevin durant responded last month when asked about the high price of his new shoes.

Not all black folks are broke though.

In business world there is no such thing as a high cost as long as someone is willing to pay that price. shyt ive done purchased $250 bottles of cologne in the past. Yes those companies are going to continue to charge that much as long as idiots like me will continue to purchase them.

okay it's a safety razor, you can buy a cheap one for $10 but there's a big difference between a $10 safety razor and a mekur or edwin jagger that costs $40+ , quality, craftsman ship, materials, and the even the guard length does provide smoother shaves. That's a fact.

blades aren't created the same either, both of those first statements are fairly ignorant .

and yes lubricants on your face stop razor bumps...try shaving without them vs. shaving with them, go ahead and fukk your face up.

yes both products are being sold at a premium, if you are trying to get a flea market deal then Bevel is not your cup o tea. You're paying for brand and experience...whether the trimmer gives you taht is one thing but in this millenial / hipster age there's better appreciation for finer items.


not saying this is the best source but everyone rates bevel razor fairly high in almomst all reviews

Have you used the bevel trimmer or its closest competitor?
