Thread: Gillette Fusion "FlexBall"

So the thing with most products today is they are designed to be obsolete. Designed so that a "new" model comes out every year. Its the world we live in. It promotes profitability.

Anyway, we have all laughed at Gillette as they have added blade after blade in their cartridges. There's redundancy - and then there is just silly. Moreover, there are just so many blades you can add before it becomes inefficient - and they are there.

Sooooo - in an effort to create more demand, now they have come up with this!
The FlexBall:

But this time, I think they are on to something! Seems like a good idea to me. I'll never try one - but what do you think? Does it intice you??

Do the gimmicks ever end?

Sadly, no they won't

I saw a demo of the flexball razor the other day at the store and just about fell over laughing. Next thing will be to add a battery to it so vibrates like previous models.

Awe that's too bad. It looks so good on tv !

perhaps that is so it can maneuver under the couch better. It would be agile
another lousy shave but agile
