LOL all the people who didn't get to see that PM will be wondering what all of this is about! 
I will be able to do no such thing! My abilities do not extend that far, but we will at least be able to determine whether it's a good quality one or not. Remember it's not about "how long it lasts" in terms of time, but, rather, "how many shaves." It's important to get all the water off it after shaving, though, and not replace the cap if the blades are still wet, because that will lead to rust, which will lead to - shudder - potential injuries. It will need replacing sooner if you let it rust.
One thing you could do is check out all the leading manufacturers and identify their latest addition to their range of razors and note them down. Then call them up to say:
"Hello. I'm a teenage boy who's about to embark on a lifetime of shaving and would prefer to stick to one particular brand. I'm trying to find out which is the best. I've noticed your new model the ABC, but I'm wavering between that and the XYZ, which looks kind of better."
(The XYZ is the equivalent from a rival brand).
"In fact, yes, I think it is better, come to think of it. I'll go with the XYZ. Sorry to have wasted your time."
They will probably have been trained to reply like this:
"Sir, I am very sorry to hear that you feel that our brand is of inferior quality. Before you hang up, would you mind if I take down your address to allow me to send you a free sample or some coupons to enable you to purchase our new ABC and try it for yourself?"

They're all probably thinking that, haha (:
I do wonder how the razors get rusty sometimes... I guess when I rush, I forget the most important rule. It's not enough just to move it away from the shower. I also had to dry it (Silly me!) lol!
Isn't that like manipulating them to get a free sample from them or something? Haha, I like it (:

It's just working the system once you know how it works. Part of their budget goes on samples and coupons etc., and you have a genuine interest in investigating their products as a potential new consumer, so what's the problem?
