Men...we get hairy? We shave. Shavers cut and burn? We make a BETTER razor.
So when they made a razor that had 3 blades, I bought it. LIke the man who desires to build a better mouse trap, they come out with one with 4. So I buy that one. Upon buying said razor with 4 blades, they come out with one that has only 3 blades..but it VIBRATES. I buy this wonderous tri-blade that vibrates like a lightsaber for the face and what do they do? Play a commercial on SuperBowl Sunday...and they come out with FIVE blades that vibrates....AAAARGH!!!
In 20 years, I suspect we'll either have lazer razors or the 50 blade razor that looks like a cheese grater for the face.
This is just a pointless sad statement of capitalistic affairs. A side thought...something I thought I'd share.

Supplicated by: Seraphim at February 6, 2006 05:49 PMHello and good to be here! Well, a very valid point. I prefer Norelco, but dumped the William's "Lectric Shave" and opted for hot water in the shower (portable razors rock!).
Have a good week!
Supplicated by: MICHAEL MANNING at February 6, 2006 10:06 PMThis entry amused me. About 10-12 years ago, SNL had a parody commercial about a new razor. They explained alongside a computer generated model that most razors had one, two, or three blades, then went on to explain how the fourth and fifth blades demonstrated a need to get even a closer shave. They went on to show a razor with fifteen blades. I had this mental image that by the end of the commercial, they'd show a decapitated torso holding up this razor of the future happily (or as happily as can be expressed through body language). No point for commenting about it, really, just wandering by.
I like your online presence (blog, et al) a lot. Could you explain to me what constitutes a "muse" to you? I was just curious. :)
