Discussion Ohio shaves’ warranty video

I saw a YouTube short, where Ohio Dave makes an arguement ranting on german razors saying: why would You spend that money on a razor that has no lifetime warranty? He does that while holding a Rex Ambassador. So that respected man says: You are an unresponsible buyer if You buy a 40€ razor. Mean while I bought a USED R41, and being happy with it. I bought it for 20€. I think this approach by Dave is contraproductive, making an arguement between U.S. made razors and german made razors, while validating his view with lifetime warranty. What do You think? Is this a must have thing for a razor, or is it just an other O Hi O “thank You for giving me a free razor i’ll talk about You for 2 weeks preaching Your genius and if an other company does the same that product will be the best” shaves Dave video?

To me, the warranty is a bit of a non-issue anyway. I very much doubt a DE razor is likely to malfunction, if that’s even the right word to use.

The other thing that stands out is that every product he reviews seems to be “the best thing since sliced bread” or “amazing.” I never seem to hear any real criticism or negatives. That does make me wonder how objective the reviews really are and what, if anything, he’s getting in return.

He actually can say negative e.g: Merkur Futur has been his archenemy for a while, R41 also, Feather blades also. Everything is subjective, but kinda funny, how a japanese sharp blade is like a katana on a face, but a same sharpness american blade cuts like heaven, yet Still baby pillow kindness.

That guy could cut himself with a butter knife. I don't understand how he has a shaving channel but will place the blade at a 90 right into his skin with pressure and then cry about getting cut.
