Thanks, but Smoothskin bare is made by Proctor & Gamble, and they wouldnt describe themselves as an "electronics industry."
I wouldn’t mind betting that even the Senior most electronics engineer in the dept that makes the smoothskin bare (or any other of the engineers there) would say that they have loads of power supply experience. They would all say that the power supply should be totally designed and built in china, because the Chinese factory “does that all the time, and does it very well”. Which of course, is true. (The SS bare is a top quality product.)

I wouldn't be too surprised if the whole thing (not just the power supply) was actually a re-branded, off-the-shelf product made in China, or elsewhere.

A lot of Proctor and Gamble's business is in electronics, such as Braun. Try a little research. If you get a design in at Proctor and Gamble its usually a good day, tinged with some concern over margins. They mostly go for very high volume products, but that means they are also fierce negotiators over price.

Chinese wealth wealth will have many consequences. Not all unfavorable for the rest of the world. One reason China is so dominant in the materials world is their lax (by European/North American standards) environmental regulation. But that is already changing, and I expected it to continue to change. As their costs rise due to environmental controls other places will be automatically more competitive.

Thanks…you are a brilliant electronics engineer who can manage to get a new power supply going if the Chinese up the price of the current one……..however, the managers of the excellent Smoothskin Bare product (like all other such managers) are not engineers….they are business guys…when the Chinese ramp up the price of the PSU for SS Bare…they will just pay up.
If we look at the price of the magnificent SmoothSkin Bare, (and it is a great product) we can see that the consumer ends up paying for any price rises in the Chinese Power supply
