Blades
This is not a post about servers (for those who got here by searching for “Blade Server” :D)…
Recently I saw an ad at the cinema for an electric razor, but done as a parody of the “mutli-blade” razor ads from the likes of Gillette, but this one has 15 blades for an extra close shave - superbly funny the first time…
Found a link to it: http://www.quintippio.co.uk/ - and some of the “quotes” on the parody website are genius “Less Hair = More Ladies” for example (never worked for me) - and the razor itself looks fairly deadly…
I’ll say now, I normally use an electric razor (by coinceidence the type featured in that advert), but only resort to foam and sharp metal blades (and only 3 of them) when I haven’t bothered for a few days, however this post is not supposed to be a rambling essay on the finer points of shaving…
Apparently, in the US Gillette have now launched a 6 blade razor (aorry, 5+1) - the “Fusion” (website is a little heavy on the flash… I think my 1Mb broadband is too slow for it…) - and I’m trying to figure out how this can possibly shave any better than a “standard” 2 or 3 blade razor… Shaving is not about how many blades you have, it’s all about the technique you use (apparently).
Also, why would I want a vibrating razor - surely that’s a recipie for blood…
From some of the other post’s I’ve been reading, the reviews are not particularly positive…
Especially the $40 replacement blades… which is the main reason I went to an electric in the first place - far cheaper to use! It’ll be interesting to try if/when it’s released over here - but I can’t see it being something I’ll use regularly… no doubt there’ll be some special offers when it’s launched…
I’ll stick to the electric thanks…
