That's it I've had it up to here with this ridiculous notion. Are there seriously marketing people at Razor companies being paid a fortune who just sit around for months at a time before eventually declaring 'Oh what the hell, sod it lets stick another blade on it and up another pound/dollar on the price of each cartridge'! I mean where will it end? My flatmate has this farcically expensive gizmo with 4 blades that vibrates! Seriously!? Ive yet to understand how multiple blades can give a better shave anyway (Its all a marketing trick IMHO) but how on earth does vibrating help? Does anyone else feel ripped off by these farcically expensive and ineffective shaving 'advances' that promise the earth yet don't shave you any better than the model that proceeded it? I mean how on earth did our Granddads cope with only one blade in a razor?
Sorry rant off, but this is really taking the piss!

Studies have shown that the vibrating feature does actually give a closer shave... however the effectis so minimal that it is pointless.
I use the Gillette Mach 3 and have for years. It does work better than a single or double razor, but it is merely number of times I have to do a shaving stroke, rather than the finished length of hair.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

My friend did that, with no foam. Took off half his chin.
Wet shaving is actually more expensive than using an electric shaver, because of water cleaning & pumping costs. Also, I've only ever cut myself with a single bladed razor, never with a 3 bladed one.

Whats the difference between electric one and hand held ones? Just price difference or?
IIRC the electric ones are generally used for people with just stubble,not shaving off actual beards etc.
Gotta agree with Lucas AR I had a MAch 3 for years and it was fine, I recently bought one of those Gilette Fusions and there is bugger all difference between the 2 razors except the price and the color of the damn things.
When you give total control to a computer, it’s only a matter of time before it pulls a Skynet on you and you’re running for your life.

Ah thank you, just curious because me and mom used to buy it for fathers day
Six blades? You may as well use a goddamn guillotine, it's probably safer.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I'm one of those people whos faicial hair will destroy a single bladed razor after 2 or 3 passes,in order to get any sort of close shave I have to first use a set of hair clippers followed by a Mach 3...now if you all will excuse me I'm off to beat on my chest and swing from some trees.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Foam? What a pussy! Real men use Pound Shop razors, Ice Cold Water and Lime Juice!

I shave with live scorpions, clawing and stinging at my face to get the hair off.

When I have to shave, I use the serrated edge of a tape dispenser. Only after pouring the remainder of my cognac on my cheeks for an extra close and tasty shave. I smell like $59.50 too.
