I agree 100% - Palio = the best money can buy. I have a few cutters. a Palio, a Zino,and a Xikar ultra slim 64 gauge. The Palio is by far the superior product.Warrant the cost? 35 bucks and cuts like butter. Over 4 years that he's had his that's like 75 cents a month and it still cost perfectly. Those plastic things you get give you a nasty cut and cost a buck (you can always keep a spare if your Palio is "in the shop") I've probably wasted more money not turning off my facet between brushing my teeth and spitting..
