Razor and blades, also known as bait and hook, is a business model that involves selling a product or service that requires regular supplies to operate. The idea is that the initial product can be sold cheaply or at a loss and the supplies can be sold at a higher price. The model works best when supplies are highly specialized requiring customers to buy from you.
