What the hell is the deal with razor blade “cartridges” costing so much money?  Seriously!   The Gillette Fusion Power Cartridges pictured at left, a box of eight, retail for $23.99 at Walgreens (apparently the only retailer brave enough to post its prices online).  What justifies that outrageous cost??
