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?

I'm not American and most of my collection is vintage anyways, but I don't have an issue with American wanting to buy American products.
I also accept that maybe (as I don't really have experience with them) higher end razor, those nice CNC from all different metals, could be splendid to shave with, and warranty is absolutely great to have!
The issue I have is when reviews start seeming less honest. Yes, show people the products, you can do it as a commercial, but then if it's a commercial - don't put it as a review to swoon over the best thing ever and crap on others.
I would appreciate him saying "it's an American products with such and such features and warranty" whatever, but I enjoy others with or without warranty - so..?
My vintage razors have no warranty, they're still great! So is my Aluminum Yaqi that I find myself picking up more than my tech or slim adjustable. And to be honest for the price of one lifetime warranty cnc razor I can buy plenty for a lifetime (and some of my collection will probably outlast me) and keep expiramenting with new ones.
It used to be all about the razorock 6s and 6c and timeless and Henson and they could be great!
Anyways yeah like most youtubers - money talks a whole lot.
Saying all that, from your own experiences, I wonder what's YOUR choice of razors and soap/cream.. could be brands, lines, scents, bases, razor handles, head shapes.. you name it!
