Are razors like cars?
Famously, B&B member Bosse, turned down a free British Aristocrat #16 a few years ago. His thinking was essentially that British cars are rubbish (please use an appropriate English accent when reading this word!) while German cars are brilliant.
Of course, Bosse eventually saw the error of his ways and picked up (more than) his fair share of gorgeous British Aristocrats. However, his car/razor analogy, which he ultimately dismisses, deserves further discussion.
The British Aristocrats, in my opinion, are a luxury item. So, the cars in this analogy should be luxury cars. For the English, Jaguar, Bentley, Rolls, and Aston Martin all jump to mind. For the Germans, we have Mercedes, BMW, and Audi.
We all know the British luxury razors. Are there any German contenders? I nominate the Rotbart pictured below (next to a British #16). Any other nominations? What about French luxury razors? Would that be Citroen and Peugeot?
