Gillette ups the ante, unveils 5-blade razor

Love this off topic subject. The only thing rivaling the nuclear escalation of toothbrush technology these days seems to be disposable razors. Two blades, three blades, four...

Some of you may recall a fantastic article from the Onion on this:

Fvck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades

So therefore, when I caught this Reuters story today, I almost had to wonder if they were joking:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9340767/ --> Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20051224201335/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9340767/

Me? Personally, I am waiting for the 17-blade model that simultaneously shaves your back at the same time as your chin.

The Onion story is brilliant, check it out

It is pure genius, in fact.

I am not worthy.

Has anyone ever seen the MAD TV episode where they introduce the Gilette 50 (basically Venetian blinds with a handle) and the guy shaves his face completely off?

OK, I found the transcript:

I love the description of what the latter blades do. Burke would be first in line behind me when this hits the market.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

that would be the best thing to hit the market till they come up with 6 blades

I love how it cleans tartar and plaque, and when it gets to the eleventh blade, it starts the process all over again!

 

[GRK]

Three blades are more than enough.

 

[Desmond]

That razor looks like a friggin vaccuum cleaner.

 

[swag]

Are you serious? There are just never enough blades, man!

I want blades that gouge out bone marrow!! :fero:

(To donate to leukemia patients, of course...)

How big was that thing to have 50 blades attached to it?

 

[Max]

I was exaggerating. It's only twenty I think.

Given that it's the Spishak Mach 20, apparently, I think the accountants at Price Waterhouse can certify your count there.

 

[Max]

Bah, you and your smart remarks.

 

[IncuboRossonero]

The Quattro is actually a hunk of overhyped junk...it feels like half your skin comes off and I'm convinced it makes the stubble grow faster and stronger...then again maybe its just me because of my Greasy Italian and Hairy background (see JaeCole for elaboration).

What happened to the good old one blade plastic blades that left bloody toilet paper clips over your face

 

[Mr. Gol]

It's still the same idea, only now you get four times as much with the same effort

 

[GordoDeCentral]

who needs blades when you got electricity
