Twin Blades... Mach Three... Mach Three TURBO... and now: QUATTRO!!

[arwalden]

Oh my! By the time they reach 6 or 7 blades, the razor area will be as tall as it is wide... a complete 2x2" square of blade action.

I wonder what the upper limit will be.

I'll just continue to use my twin-blades and watch in amazement at the art of "selling it".

1. There was an SNL fake commercial skit about that.

I don't remember what they called it, though. The thing had, like, 12 blades and the end was shaped like a big square. It ends with the guy grinning at the camera with his face all cut to ribbons.

5. I remember an SNL commercial when the two blade razors first came out

It was for a three-blade razor.

It opened with a caveman shaving (and braining) himself with a stone axe. Next a demonstration showing how the first blade cuts the hair, the second blade tugs the hair and cuts near the root, and the third blade takes the root itself. It may have ended with a guy having a cut-up face, but I remember the commercial because of the tag line: "... because you'll buy anything."

6. "The seventh blade, well...

that's mostly just for show."

2. I think I'll give it a try.

I have a more impressive collection of razors than the Gillette Museum (if there is such a thing). It's a weird compulsion for me. Every time a new one comes out, I have to have it (even disposables). Even stranger is the fact that I only need to shave every three days or so.

3. Suzi Quatro kicks ass!

"When I start my drinking,
My baby throws a fit.
So I just blitz him outta my mind
With sixteen bottles of Schlitz.
Oh, baby, come on over.
Come on over to my side.
I may not live past 21,
But what a way to die!"

4. I'm holding out for Cinco!

In the meantime, my old Braun electric will have to do.

7. Didn't The Daily Show have a multiblade razor parody, recently?

I seem to recall either Ed Helms or Rob Corddry (sp?) dipping his face into a whirling mass of blades as a spokesperson from Gilette looked on.

8. I am NOT giving up my Sensor. That's it. I'm drawing the line in the sand.

The Gillette Sensor is the best razor blade ever invented. It gives me a close, smooth shave with no cuts or razor burn.

I was NOT solicited for this testimonial! :-)

9. Come to the dark side, Terry.

You will succumb to the power that is advertising! Resistance is futile!

<makes spooky finger-waggling motion at the screen> woooooooooooooo.

[terrya]

10. I shall resist your mind control as best as I can!

Until I finally succumb... :-)

11. It was the finger-waggling, wasn't it?

That always works.

:silly:

[terrya]

12. I'm putty when someone does the finger wag...

My defenses completely collapse when finger wagging is involved...

:-)

13. I'm wagging three fingers - You shall buy a Mach 3 Turbo

18. Same Here... Sensor

Schick Twin as a "backup".

[frylock]

14. i'm holding out for the quattro twin turbo with cold air induction!!

[Archae]

15. I'm keeping my Norelco.

It's got more blades than ANY of yours!

PPBBLLTT! :P

[DemNoir]

16. How much you wanna bet

The next big trend will be single blade razors! Its time has come.
"When you have one good blade, who needs more?"

[kutastha]

17. Holy hell

How many blades does one need?

I'll just stick to my old-fashioned striaght razor.
