As you can probably imagine there was great joy and much laughter in the Chowder house when Gillette announced that we could all have the best shave ever in the history of the world.
The Gillette Fusion now has 5 blades…well la de fucking dah.
Listen you tossers. I shave at least once a day, sometimes twice, if you think for one moment that I’m gonna buy your overpriced FIVE bladed razors then you’re off your frigging trolley.
I can buy a pack of 10 Bic disposables for a fraction of the cost of your latest attempt to screw us. What’s more I find that these disposable blades do the job they were purchased for, I get a clean shave, no better and no worse than what you are trying to say about “The best shave EVER”
Can I co-opt your pit of Gillette to bemoan the lack of Atra razors all of a sudden? I’ve been shaving with one for at least 20 years. I use an electric razor for the rest of my face, but a blade on my neck, where I have whiskers that the electric won’t catch. Our new kitten did something with the handle section of mine, I think she managed to put it in the toilet. I can’t find it anywhere. Well, now that I need one, they don’t make them anymore, and I’m going to have to buy a replacement off of freakin’ eBay! Unless somebody reading this has one that they don’t need…grumble grumble…
I came in here to mention that. Do you think they are even now writing one from a Wilkinson Sword point of view called “Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Six Blades”?
I myself am going to place 100 blades on a washboard-type arrangement, and rub my face up and down it. The shave will be so close you’ll be able to see my jawbone.
Funny, but not quite true (unless there’s an older ad I’m forgetting about). The fake product was the Platinum Mach 14, and according to Wiki, was a response to the Mach 3 being released.
Of course it’s only a matter of time before they really do make a razor with 14 blades…
There was, in fact, an older ad. When the double-bladed razor was first introduced SNL did an ad for a three-bladed razor. IIRC the ad ended with a line like “Because you’ll buy anything”.
Actually, Al Jaffee did a similar one in Mad Magazine years ago, along with the laser razor, the freon razor, the rotary plucking razor, and the flamethrower razor. Some of them were quite ingenious actually.
Well, it was back in the days when SNL was actually good. The commercial even had an illustration showing how the first blade cut most of the whisker, the second blade caught the rest of the whisker before it could “retract” so that the third blade could cut the whisker off even closer. I remember laughing about it when the Mach 3 came out.
I don’t remember a “Little Chocolate Doughnuts cereal”, but I do remember John Belushi in an ad promoting “Little Chocolate Doughnuts” as part of his training regimen. I seem to remember that ad ending with a shot of his hand taking a LCD from a bowl, with a cigarette between two fingers.
…and it’s issues like this that make me seriously consider growing one :eek:
Tried some years ago actually but I couldn’t stop scratching after about day 4, drove me bloody crazy…I aint really altered
