HOW MANY?
I remember when Mach3 first came out, that there was a lot of talk about just how many blades one could possibly need on a razor.
There was an abundance of satire surrounding the issue. The Onion, Saturday Night Live, Letterman, they all had some fun at Gillete's expense, imagining a 6 bladed razor, a 12 bladed razor, etc.
Then Schick came out with Quatro. The 4 bladed razor. I found this humorous, but pointless.
Ladies and gentlemen. Gillette has now taken it one step further. You can now buy Fusion, a *SIX* bladed razor. Yes folks, you read that correctly. There's 5 blades on the main part of the razor, and strangly one on the top/back that's supposed to be good for sideburns.(This could in fact be a novel idea, but I'd be worried that it's just one more way to cut yourself!).
When will it end?
