In the UK we've just started being bombarded with adverts for razors with 4 blades, that give you the closest shave yet. It seems only a couple of years ago that 3-bladed razors were the bees knees, and I'm sure I've only been able to buy 2-bladed razors in the last 15 years or so.
Obviously this
process seems to be exponential, with 5-bladed razors just around the corner.
The idea is to have an extendable piece on the end of your razor that can incorporate as many blades as you like. That day, every day you can add another one, and claim the closest shave yet.
Shaving causes breast cancer!

18 blade razor? Pah, I always use a 22 blade. |
|
| |
22 eh? I always use a machete. |
|
| |
Don't forget to patent it :) |
|
| |
They used "Mach3 Turbo" to describe the 3 bladed razor whats used to describe the 4 Blades? |

Did you know that shaving causes breast cancer!

Silly, I hope you are not getting into a strop! |

Why not wax your chin? You'll get an even smoother finish and have to do it much less often. |
|

[po] I'm trying not to work myself into a lather about things, but I'm so cut up at the moment. Ah well, time to face the music. |

You're so superficial, [Peter]! |

[fog] - I think you could do that with 1 if it was sharp enough and you were heavy-handed enough. |

I wish I could find a transcript for that MadTV Mach 20 skit... |

The first few blades remove hair. |
|
| |
The next remove the outer layers of skin. |
|
| |
The next removes the chin. |
|
| |
The next cleans behind teeth. |
|
| |
The next zaps the portion of the brain responsible for hair growth... |

The 4 blades is the gillette fusion, and its actually 5 blades. One solo on the reverse to shape and style. I have the turbo, which has the whole vibrating bollocks too. I do take my hat off to gillette though. |

Just this weekend I had the great fortune to listen to Onion editor Scott Dikkers read that piece to an audience, as an instance of the Onion predicting reality by a hair's breadth. (To wit, the Gillette Fusion.) If it weren't someone else's joke, it would definitely be a halfbakery tagline. |

According to Kevin Powell, Gillette's laboratory director, "The only thing I can tell you for certain is that we are not sitting here saying, "The answer is six blades."" |
|

A phrase from my childhood seems appropriate here: "Yeah, right! Itchy chin!" |
