Thread: Academic research confirms superiority of straight razors

I have to admit that, at the right price point, I have always wished Gillette would create a single blade razor on those cool springs they used to have on the old Sensor.

I'd probably chuck a few of my DEs out if they ever read that article.

The important thing for Gillette to figure out is that they can make a better shaving, smoother cartridge with a single blade and still charge $1 for each cartridge and save a bundle on parts. Profit always being their primary interest.

I dont think it'll stop until the consumers realise that they're getting ripped off.

I mean the latest advert advertises sharper blades as Gilettes new approach to shaving... revolutionary.

But then they'll need Steve Jobs to do the marketing:
Magical, Revolutionary, Simple, The quality of a vintage Leica camera...

Yeah, but how long before he starts telling us all that we're holding our razors wrong?
