The same reason a Benz S-Class cost three times as much as a Corolla.

It's a luxury item that some people are willing to pay a premium to have. It's not that complicated.

But Benz can actually articulate why they are a premium product. It is not simply a matter of conceptual luxury but something tangible. Bevel has not articulated why they are superior to Andis, whereas Benz can and does articulate why they are superior to say Honda or Ford.

Nikkas spend more on bottles at the club but wanna complain about a clipper:mjlol: I tried the product and didn't like the razor itself I don't see the problem with the price of the trimmer especially if you factor in the price of a line up

What this thread is really about is how some of ya want nas to stand strong on his anti establishment lyrics.

While others ride with his financial self empowerment /getting money lyrics.

Like he don't spit about both things. Ya nikkas really lack perspective and nuance on shyt.

Trying to peg nas as a hypocrite is ridiculous. He is part owner or whatever he is of a company trying to succeed pricing the product at what they and the market deem fit. Simple business.

Just because you can't afford it or don't want to pay that price doesn't mean the next man feels the same way. If you can charge $200 for something, and there are people willing to buy it at that price that's all that matters. People are trying to make money not run a charity. It's a luxury item, if you have a problem with pricing go buy some cheaper clippers and KIM.


A whole lot of broke dudes exposing themselves in this thread :scust:
Not even broke dudes, it's that crab mentality. They wouldn't question this if it was a white owned business, guaranteed. If you don't fukk with it, don't fukk with it and KIM, don't make a thread bashing a black owned business that has a heavy buzz right now, especially in the racial climate we in nowadays.

Have you read the site? I have a T-outliner and been using it for 5+ years, you don't have to adjust the Bevel the old fashion way (screw driver and glass/granite table) if you've ever done this you know it's aggravating as fukk, this has a adjustable dial, bevel has a protective coating that minimizes residue build up, I've bought 4 andis blades in about 5 years cause they eventually rust out after cleaning and natural use because they don't have any kind of coating the bevel is saying you won't have that issue... I will say, andis got them on SPM, everything else seems superior on paper, never tried Bevel though.

like i said in a previous post we need to stop "if this was a white owned business'' nonsense...you really telling me if this was 800 dollar clippers you would be making the same comment?
