Now its got microchips, battery indicator, a razor on the back, and a $10 for 2-pack cost! It even has a light that turns on every time you shave called the "rip-off" indicator.

Sad thing is, I'm probably gonna shell out 20 weeks of Merkurs because i "have to try it".

If I were Shick - i'd say "screw it" and make a 20 bladed "super double platinum extreme 20" razor - just to **** Gillette off. Maybe add an integral laser pointer, and a r/c car conversion kit.

seeing this reminds me of how i once used the m3, then went on to use the m3 power, thinking that i was moving forward in the world of shaving.

i now know that i don't have to buy any "new trinkets." just old-school ones....

It's interesting that it has a single blade on the back for precision work under the nose, etc.

I think the next logical step is to make one entire wall of your bathroom a matrix of razor blades, and you would shave by jumping up and down next to it....

Saves Time - Shaving with a two-blade razor takes forever. Shaving with a four-blade razor may be quicker, but you'll still have to shave again within the next day or two. The Revolution saves you time with its "One and Done" shave technique that gives a perfect shave with one stroke that lasts for several days. The Revolution Tri-Quad contains not four blades, and not eight blades, but twelve laser-precise blades... compared to the outdated Schick Quattro with only four.

More Shaving Power - With triple the shaving power of the leading brand, the Revolution’s patented twelve blade system lifts and cuts each whisker to bring you the deepest shave you can get without permanent nerve damage.

Precision You Can Count On - The blades are composed of a steel alloy used in the Turkish aircraft industry... their sharpness is unparalleled. Where most other brands offer one or two conditioning strips, the Revolution Tri-Quad includes an ultra-comfortable sterilization strip after the twelth blade followed by a pain-relieving strip delivering soothing morphine.

One Week Shave Guarantee - You may find a razor on the market that gives you a gentler shave, but you won’t find a razor that shaves so deep you won’t have to shave again for one week, guaranteed (unless you are Italian).

Stoltz, A Brand You Can Trust - Don’t be fooled by imitators like the Ninja OctoBlade by Jiangsu Shengli. The Ninja has only eight blades, which often requires more than one stroke.

Jeftichew,

I must say Gillette has lost my respect if Mr. Kilts' vulgar and offensive vocabulary and mindset is representative of that company.

 

[Jeftichew]

Um, The Onion is a mocking comical journal. Absolutely no truth to any of their headlines or stories.

Unless you choose to believe todays top story:

Oops. And here I took it at face value. Thanks for cluing me in.
