My point is, why can't the new 5 blade ball thingy be of heirloom quality, like an old Tech? Answer that. I already know money is the answer, but tell me why and how Gillette has improved what we have available to us over the years. What is it?
The Fusion will never be an heirloom because it looks like it was designed by someone who took too much bad acid and read too many H.P. Lovecraft books. The sucker looks like a cross between an insect and a robot. Stupid looking. Zero long term cool factor there.

Plastic also doesn't age particularly well.
The Trac II was legitimately a big leap forward for many men from DE. Each successive leap has been less important.

Strictly speaking, DE blades are still disposable as well.Your original post that I quoted was a global statement about how things aren't made the way they used to be. That's what I was responding to.
As for Gillette, keep in mind that King Gillette popularized the concept of disposability with his razors. "Gillette" and "disposable" have always gone hand-in-hand.

the difference between carts and DE blades in terms of disposability is minor, IMO.
