Raising the bar
I like to amuse myself by keeping track of the absurd 'progress' of razor blades available to us. An article by The Onion from two years ago, in response to the Quattro, is a tounge-in-cheek look at how Gillette should just create a 5-bladed razor, and the article concludes with the absurd notion of putting two strips of aloe on the razor.
Of course, Gilette has come out with the a new razor: the Fusion - complete with five blades and two aloe strips. There's even an additional model that has a battery in it. I really can't see how this will be topped, but I'm sure it'll happen.

Posted by: Nate at February 9, 2006 10:52 AMWhat kind of caveman bastard still uses a blade anyway? Anyone who's cool uses an electric razor. Proof: Nate buys disposable razors by the sack full at Costco or some shit, and he's the leat cool guy I know. Seriously, he goes to be at like 7.
In other news, I have a $200 electric razor and a $50 trimmer. And you now what I look like - Grizzly Adams' gay nephew.
