I still use a 2-bladed Atra, and it’s getting tough to find the replacement blades for it.
In the 90’s SNL had a 12 blade razor or something like that.
/Horribly remembered paraphrase.
“The first blade cust close, the second even closer, the third closer yet. The fourth blade extends the whisker, while the 4 th 5th and 6th slave even closer . The 8th blade provides aerodyamic stabilization as it passes…”
That was the Gilette Mach 14
There’s a difference? 
Sure you will. The cheese grater will be cheaper, larger, more durable, and can be sharpened again and again.
Now, if you want to talk about the similarities between the razor of the future and a lemon zester… 
Well, my razor system requires that a bolt of lightning hit the village clock-tower!
You have no idea how difficult it is to find a SINGLE BLADE razor these days. The multi-blades seem to knick the hell out of me, too (or perhaps it’s my technique). I stood there in the razor section scratching my head for 5 minutes before I found the ONE bag of single blades on the market - the store brand.
I shave with a Gil Hibben Raptor knife.
I’d laugh, but I’ll probably try one anyway. The Mach3 is so much better than any twin-blade razor for shaving my head that I’ll take a chance on 5 blades, at least once.
You mean like these? I usually see these in Target.
1.21 GIGAWATTS!!
I was going to celebrate finding another knife-shaver until I looked at that thing… either you’re joking around or you shave with the straight part of it and I owe you a salute.
The Master speaks (woohoo! my first Cecil cite!). Personally, I use these. They work just fine.
Yup. I found the generic version of those at Albertson’s, but it took awhile, since it was one tiny little shelf space in a sea of multiblades. Come to think of it, I probably should have bought multiple packs of them…just in case. :dubious:
Back in my day, we shaved with a piece of flint.
And we liked it!
Yeah, well, I genetically engineered myself a tiny goat that grazes on whiskers.
Top that, yo!
Well, my razor requires an experimental fusion generator!
Eventually, someone is going to take this trend to its logical limit and invent a miniature belt sander that abrades away your whiskers. It will be advertised as being “like an infinite number of tiny blades.”
Back when they first came out with the twin-blade razors, electric rotary shaver manufacturer Norelco cam out with ads saying something like “We’v always known that more blades are better”, showing their rotating-head shaver. And it was true – following the logic of the industry, Norelco’s shaver would do the same thing he two-bladed shaver did. And three-bladed, and four-bladed, and five-bladed…
I wonder why they stopped running those so long ago…
Probably because you don’t have to be too bright to realize that those recessed blades don’t come into close contact with your skin, and it’s damned-near impossible to get anything like decent shave with them.
