Am I being harsh, or is this just stupid?

[Sailorman]

O.K., I'll be the first to admit that it's not always easy to keep track of how many times you used a particular blade. Especially when you have several razors and blades in a less-than-rigid rotation.

And I'll also admit that it's not as important for most DE blades as it is for a $3 cartridge. But regardless of what you're using, the proof's in the pudding. If the shave has deteriorated, it's time to replace it whether it has two or twenty uses.

But Noooooooooooo........

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken, (or maybe it was P.T.Barnum), "no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the British?? people".

Without further ado, I hereby present to you what has to be, IMNSHO opinion, the single dumbest shaving invention since the clam.

It's an item for someone who suffers from OCD on an obscene level!!

 

[RichGem]

But for only $6.06 plus international shipping and handling? Who could say no!? Maybe they'll even throw in a ShamWow.

This thing is genius.

Note the max number on the Shavetracker dial...it's twelve. The other applications are practically endless!

"Skivviestracker! Never lose count of when to change you underwear again! Simply click the Skivviestracker over to the next number at the end of the month..." !

"Sudstracker! Simply click the Sudstracker when you've finished another Budweiser, and you'll know when it's time to go home! Convenient suction cup design sticks to any glass or pitcher, or your drinking buddy's forehead..."

"Posttracker! Trying to catch up with the likes of Ouch and Slaglerock? Simply stick Posttracker to your computer screen, and keep track of your posts per minute!"

This is going to change the way we live, I tell ya.

You're right. It is genius. Especially because the other trackers only go to
11.

I wonder if you could use it to track time also? You know, like a manual clock or something.

Considering how many guys track shaves using dice, grease pencil on their mirrors, sharpie mark on the blade, or other equally silly-sounding tricks, I wouldn't make too much fun of this product.

Actually, about 2 minutes after my friend sent that link, I thought to myself "why not just use dice if you're concerned about it?".
If you get a little of that silly putty type of stuff they put under stuff on boats to keep them in place, you can stick a die to the mirror or wall.
If you're really dumb and can't tell the difference between a blade used 6X and 1X you can use a pair. If you have a 5 razor rotation, think of the money you'd save.

Maybe I'll package a couple dice and a glob of putty up with instructions and sell it for $6 as "Count Blade's Shave Tracking System and Portable Craps Game"

Two uses in one and a bargain at half the price!

A while back, a noob asked what the numbers on a DE blade were for. Someone else posted an elaborate scheme to use them to track not only how many uses the blade had, but to make sure he turned it over the prescribed number of times so as not to wear the edges unevenly! It almost sounded believable. I think it took a while before the OP realized his leg was being pulled. Hilarious.

Do you really? Now, how 'bout that charter boat?

 

[Sailorman]

..

I like that, Phil. It's the new IE (Infinite Edge) blade. I'm sure it's a vast improvement on the original Merkur too.

All you need is a squeegy handle and you're in business!

 

[damooshki]

You're right. It is genius. Especially because the other trackers only go to
11.

11 & 12? Damn, I must have the cheap knock-off. Mine only goes to 10.

No no no, you got the rare and valuable PROTOTYPE.

Too funny (and true). But, I didn't think Merks were even that sharp.
