Schick to introduce FOUR blade razor
http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/retail/2003-05-14-razor_x.htm

DUH. I tried their 3-blade razor once, and it shaved way too close. If you get sucked into buying the "Quattro", you deserve every nick and cut you get.

1. Every day reality looks more and more like The Onion
The two-bladed ones shave me as well as I could ever need to be shaved.

3. Sensor Excel two-blade is all I need
Makes me think they're doing this to phase two-blade razors out, in a ploy to get people to buy the more expensive "Mach3".

2. They are good for my legs
the closer the shave the better.

And good for the boyfriend's face. Can't stand his five o'clock shadow thirty minutes after he's shaved!

4. Funny Dave Barry column about this...

Should have added from the article:

"Yes, the razor-technology race shows no signs of slowing. And who knows what lies ahead? Razors with 10 blades? Twenty blades? A thousand blades? Razors that go backward in time and shave your ancestors? Exciting times lie ahead, shaving consumers!"

5. I use the Venus3
on my legs. Three blades. It's so much nicer. I don't have to apply as much pressure to get a close shave and have my legs be smooth. And I think it lasts a little longer too.

8. Well hell, I guess I'll try the Venus razors
I nick my ankles so bad with the cheap grocery store brand I use that I absolutely dread shaving.
I'll give it a go even though I HATE those commercials! LOL

6. As a clean-shaven middle-aged progressive ...
I will vouch for 3 bladed razors til the cows come home ....

Yeah: . they ARE more expensive ...... but Ohhhhhh man: .....

They are SMOOOOoo-OOOOthe ......

I bet the 4 blade jobs will be even 1/3 better than the 3 bladers ....

I havent nicked myself even ONCE since I started using the triple blade razor .....

Not even once ......

There is no such things as too close: ..... getting nicked is a PENETRATION of the dermal layer, .... now THAT is beyond too close ...

9. Monty Python's prophecy is coming true
And he shall bear a nine-bladed sword. Nine-bladed. Not two. Or five, or seven, but nine, which he shall wield on all wretched sinners and that includes you sir...

12. I'm still using the Schick Tracer 2. I just worry that three blades will
nick me even worse.
