Breaking News - Gillette to release new "vintage" adjustable razors

[BakerAndBadger]

Heard from a friend of a friend who lives next door to Mr Gillette that Gillette will shortly be releasing a new DE adjustable based on the classic Slim Adjustable.

The "source" confided that it will be endorsed by none other than Mr Marshall Mathers, other wise known as the rap star Eminem.

The idea is that DE blades are cheaper to produce than cartridge blades and also more environmentally friendly, using Eminem will make it appeal to the younger generation of shavers just starting out.




The "source" also confirmed that the model will be marketed under the name Slim Shavey.

Sweet. I would like to see the handle about 3/8" longer, and heavier.

made in china ? made to original specs ? this should be interesting....

 

[Prince]

Slim Shavey????

It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding."

It's a joke, malocchio.

The "source" also mentioned a model for the British market with a chunkier handle. It will be unveiled by the erstwhile DJ Norman Cook.

Now that he's "detoxed" he needs a new AD...

When I first read it, I wondered if anyone would get the punchline.

As punishment, henceforth you must shave with a wooden spoon.
