Pro Action/Pro Topline Group Purchase

I'm not sure if this violates forum rules or not (although I'm sure this will disappear if it does. ), but since I'm not aware of any forum sponsors that sell Pro Action heads, nor am I aware of other group purchase posts that have been locked in the past, I think I'm ok.

Anyway... a friend of mine is a Pro Topline dealer and since there's been so much discussion about those heads lately, I talked to him about a group purchase. I wanted to get a gauge of people's interest to see if there's enough interest to to follow through with it.

As far as I know, any of Pro Topline's heads will apply for the group purchase. Besides their Pro Action heads, they also make a lot of stock replacement stuff, including Vortec heads that already are machined for conventional springs and screw-in studs.

If anybody is legitimately interrested in any Pro Topline heads, reply.

I talked to my buddy. His cost is about $1 per set less than proshaver sells his heads for. My buddy is going to talk to Pro Topline and see if he can get a small discount in order to be able to offer the heads a couple bucks under Proshaver's prices. We'll see what happens...

My buddy isn't looking to get rich. He just wants to sell enough of the heads to stay on their dealer list. I think if he can make $25-50 per set he'll be plenty happy.

But... he's so busy I have no idea if he'll ever get around to talking to Pro Topline so who knows.

I wonder if proshaver gets assembled lightning heads from pro topline or gets the bare heads and assembles them with cheap hardware.

And from what I read, they assemble them with inferior parts.

86WS6_T/A,

Where did you read about ProShaver and inferior parts? I'm not doubting your source believes this to be true, I'm just curious because ProShaver told me exactly what they use (I wrote it down somewhere here?) and their assembled heads use good parts. Above average for a "generic" assembled head. Using better or THE BEST stuff would obviously cost more to assemble, just in parts alone.
