So Good, It's Free! (But surely, nothing in life is free...)

So good, it's free? But who's paying for Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry's services then?

You. Now, this may or may not concern you. But think of these guys as 'middlemen'. Someone, somewhere has to pay for them, and their agent. And that, my friend, is you.

So maybe that explains why a Gillette Fusion Power replacement cartridge is £2.50 for you to buy, when everyone in the know, knows it costs a tiny fraction of that to manufacture. So, once you've bought the handle, and enjoyed "Gillette's Best Shave", and come to replace your 4 pack, you'll be looking at shelling out £10...

Not a problem for Woods, Federer or Henry. But £10 is £10. A lot of money to get a close comfortable shave.

Wait until they launch their six blade razor, and have to sign Lewis Hamilton and another global sports star....
