I predict that there will be a 6 or 7 blade razor

In the Blue Man Group stage show, there’s a bit where they come out with TV sets instead of heads and their faces on the screens are periodically replaced by parody adverts that the others react to. One of the adverts was for a 7 blade razor; I can’t remember all of the claims, but each blade had a separate function; I think the fifth one sends ultrasonic sounds down to the hair follicle, mocking it and taunting it to come out and fight.

I think that was stolen from the Octoblade Monkey-ed Movie (those chimpanzee skits they used to air on TBS).

Actually, they beat it back in 1975, in the very first episode. Back when they first introduced twin-blades.

“The Triple Trac razor - Because you’ll believe anything.”

Funny then, but technology has a way of surpassing what we once found amusing. The Fusion works, and it works well.

I remember that bit! I was dozing while babysitting and watching SNL, and I woke up, not knowing at first that what I was watching wasn’t a real commercial. I remember thinking that it was just crazy marketing hype…the twin-blade concept was so new. Then I woke up enough to realize it was a sketch, not a real product.

Then, when triple-blade razors really came on the market, I wondered if the maker was inspired by that same sketch! And wheter they owed SNL royalties!

NEVER, there will never be a 6 blade razor and the idea of 7 blades is true insanity! 5 blades is the height, the pinnacle, the ULTIMATE in shaving technology and will remain so until the end of time!

I know we all said there would never be more than one blade, but we were foolish. We now have the great and final product that is the 5 blade and so it shall ever remain.

Wow, I really need to rethink my morning coffee intake…

Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier, I had to shut the power to my house off. I’m installing a new Schick Wall[sup]TM[/sup] in the upstairs bathroom.

I got you all beat.

Ha! I have an electric, which theoretically has an INFINITE number of blades! Flawless Victory!

…'cept it still won’t quite shave my neck clean.
