Gillette are taking the piss!

A new five bladed razor http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/14/news/fortune500/gillette/

The next level is surely one with 12 vibrating blades with a lubricating strip that gives you a lapdance afterwards.

roffle!

In fairness how much has the design changed in the last 5-10 years??

"It also has a single blade on the back of the cartridge for shaving sideburns or trimming under the nose."

:eek:

The first blade distracts the hair, while the second and third blades sneak up behind it, cutting off any escape routes. The fourth and fifth blades attempt to coax the hair from its hiding place using modern counselling techniques while the sixth blade, posing as a passing motorist, acts as a decoy, allowing the seventh and eighth blades to swoop down and quickly overpower the hair. The ninth blade, disguised as a postman, administers a small dose of chloroform, allowing blades 10 through 13 to remove the hair and escort it away for further questioning. The 14th blade informs the hair of its rights. The 15th blade handles the paperwork and the 16th blade, well, it's just along for the ride.

Put another aloe strip on that ****er, too. That's right. Five blades, two strips, and make the second one lather. You heard me—the second strip lathers. It's a whole new way to think about shaving

oh yeah

It's actually amazing to see that Gilette will be charging 33% more for this than the Mach 3 and when the Mach 3 came out, it was a 33% increase over the razor before that.
