What's the point of this? You're probably wondering.

What does a shaving brush have to do with socialism or anti-socialism?

Well, let us explain this here:

Horn handles are natural products. This means that a very significant number are not "perfect." They have small holes, tiny cracks, warping, or—after machining—small nicks from the lathe. This is unavoidable and occurs equally with all manufacturers. We have not sold these shaving brush handles to date.
However, we didn't allocate the loss from these missing pieces to the other, flawless shaving brush handles. This is probably why we were (and still are) the cheapest provider of genuine horn-handled shaving brushes.
Others transfer the losses from the lost handles to the other brushes -
That is the socialist principle: the winner pays the loser.
We don't want to do that! But this is where the ideological component comes into play: Socialism in every form (at least so far) has proven itself to be bad. Whether at the European level or just in the brush production in Alpenrod in the Westerwald region.
Critical comments are welcome, dear socialists.

We now process our brush handles, which are not 100% in good condition, into shaving brushes with pure badger hair and offer them at a price that still leaves us a small profit (the opposite of socialism is still capitalism), but offers the buyer exceptional value for their money:
The badger hair is exquisite and hand-tied, so there's no metal ferrule. The Dr. Dittmar quality guarantee, of course, also applies to these brushes without restriction. As with the very expensive shaving brushes, refills are available under our special conditions, including the two Antisocialism models (made from the light horn of the Watusi cattle or the black horn of the water buffalo).
Now that is social behavior: making good things affordable for those who cannot pay high prices.

Long live freedom! Freedom to the horn handles!

The interested reader may not have missed the fact that the above text contains some less plausible conclusions. Fortunately, there are educated people with a sense of humor who can put the matter somewhat more correctly.
Here is an almost verbatim transcript of a comment sent by email from one of our valued customers:

Your text on anti-socialist shaving brushes is a real eye-catcher. But the example is poorly chosen.
Under socialism, the flawless grips would be reserved for party cadres and exported to capitalist countries. The defective grips would be used by the local population, with the nicks and scratches being presented as a reminder of the bloodily suppressed (some date) uprising from the movement's founding days.

Compensating for production waste by increasing the selling price of flawless handles, however, is a fundamentally capitalist principle—and, seen in this light, naturally anti-socialist. In real existing socialism, there would be no waste, because every product quality would have to be placed on the deficit-ridden market to even come close to meeting a third of the population's needs.

Real socialists, communists, and eco-rebels never use real-hair brushes. They never even shave!
