Gillette gold and diamond crusted Fusion razors

These are the razors that Gillette just gave to gold-medal winner Ryan Lochte. Nice looking handles, but couldn't they have come up with a nice British Aristocrat or something similar? Oh well, maybe next Olympics.

My wife showed me this picture. All I could think of was the little diamonds going down the drain.

Yeah, and he needs a gold tooth to go with it.
 
I love how Gillette adds the gold and diamond bling but then KEEPS all of the cheap, black plastic bits from the regular model. I mean, if you're going to go all out for an Olympic gold-medal winner (and future spokesperson), why not machine the whole razor out of stainless steel or something cool like that.

Shoot, if they had a 100% stainless version, even I'd consider buying one. But no, they just take the cheap plastic version and dip it in gold leaf and diamonds. Yuck.

What if it were 'replated' with rhodium...would that be more enticing?:sneaky2:

Yea, rhodium plated black plastic -- all sparkly and metallic, and when you pick up, the thing weighs about 3 grams. Sounds awesome!
 
Wow, Jeff, that is such a shame and a waste of money! i have to agree with you that an Aristocrat would have been much better, but that would have contravened their policy with making profit. Hee hee.
 
How much can these be sold for scrap gold and gem value? That would be my only question if presented with them. What an abomination.
