Gillette's 5-blade razor (where it'll end?)

[antonioledesma]

OMG... 5 blades for a razor... what a ridiculous idea. Now Schick will come with 7 blades with ultrasonic-autocleaning head and UV thingy so your skin is dry and tanned after shaving

You gotta be kidding... :o :lol: :lol:

[bmagni]

so its like the M3 power with 5 blades, where is this going ?
I did notice a difference between the old gillete sensor and the M3, so this might be better, i guess you have to compare

[jakaracman]

I'll probably get it soon to test it, so let's se how it works. M3Power is an good idea.
BTW: wilkinson also just produced a 5 blade razor ...

[exhausted mules]

one good blade is best.

with the hair... and at a 30 degree upwards.


with five blades. i'd be shaving the hair and 6 layers of skin.

oooo! such a great idea :idea: :P

i'll say i do prefer 3 blades compared to 2, and 1 blade... but beyond that, no thankyou, no reason to spend more... just improve the tech to make the blades sharpness last loger

IMO
they have to "invent" a new, super, mega, special, brandwew, best-ever,... razor
every 2or 3 years

to sell each of us a new razor :!:
and
increase the price of the blades :!:

THINK ABOUT before buying every new razor they present in the shops :shock:
