Thread: Read it and, well, laugh...

Boy you can say that again. Pay for a shave with a mock3 I think not....

I'd just start laughing and tell him to go back to school

I seriously thought about a straight after I bought a 5 bladed razor (6 if you count the blade on the back of it what's it for again?) and felt stupid after I shaved and expected better results than my 3 bladed razor. In there commercial they show it as some kind of breakthrough

Also I remember a commercial with a razor that vibrates I guess.

When they showed a woman's razor it exfoliated the skin

For the mans it raised the hair so you cut closer

I'm very happy with my straight and won't ever go back.

A straight isn't for everybody but it's worth giving an honest look at.

Those new features are all marketing gimmics so they could stay ahead of or keep up with the competition. They want you to think that their new line performs better than anything else on the market so you can waste your money on and pollute the environment with 50 blade cartriges a year. Mach 3 made me switch to electrics. I got into straights b/c of my selective nostalgia for old-school low-tech stuff. After doing some research, I saw the advantages, and my Taylor's convinced me that SR-shaving was the right thing for me.

Always remember the ads from the Trac II:

"The first razor lifts the blade so that the second blade can cut it close to the skin".

So, what the hell are all of those other blades cutting???

And I can't shake the image of a vibrating shaver butchering my face and slinging blood all over the bathroom lol. Thank you very much Gilette CORP but I'm 100% Straight

I own that vibrating thing...it actually IS better than a normal mock3.....but doens't come close to a straight.

Just say "NO" to vibrators.

sorry gents, couldn't resist..

One blade get's the job done jeest fine. The reason Gillette "invented" multiblade razor is that after expiration on their DE patent everyone started making them, and Gillette wanted the market for them selves, naturaly. But, unfortunately, they only "invented" inferior product to everything they had before...
