When will it end?
I know, I haven't blogged for ages. Two reasons,
- I didn't feel like it.
- Nothing really to say, my life consists of going to work and coming home again.
Anyway, onto the topic at hand ;-)
I currently shave using a well-known 3-blade razor. These have been getting more gimmicky lately, including a model that is battery powered and sends small vibrations to the head to "allow you to get a closer shave." How true this is I have no idea, I didn't fall for the hype. Geez, I only changed from a trusty 2-blade about 18 months ago!
There are now 4-blade razors on the market and I thought it couldn't get much more ridiculous.
I was wrong!
A friend forwarded me this webpage thinking I may be interested. I was, but only because this is a 5-blade razor with a blade at the back of the cartridge for trimming up. 5 BLADES
Where is it going to end? Are we going to end up with 10-blade razors the size of our heads with battery-powered handles to get 'the ultimate shaving comfort sensation'?
Stop the madness I say!
Still, I've asked them to send me one - I expect the cartridges to be incredibly expensive though. We'll see what it's like.
Hopefully I'll get one and I can post back as to whether it really is an improvement over 3 blades or it's just the load of marketing bull I expect it to be...
