The future of shaving
There have been a myriad of posts lately pontificating on where razor design is going, after some thought (OK not much really, but bear with me) I have an idea about where the cartridge companies could go.
Heres a free idea for someone at P&G or EverReady. Ill bet they keep an eye on these boards, because of the growth rate of traditional wet shaving. This site alone has over 15,000 members and 1,000,000 posts. How could they not notice? Most of the posts are dealing with some aspect of wet shaving. I suspect there are even more lurkers that never post, just take the information and go. So with P & G starting to try to push traditional DE markets to cartridges, and with our rather small rebellion against cartridges here in the states, they have got to be scratching their heads for the next big thing in shaving. Well, I have it, and will post it here, let me know what you think.
Lets face it, cartridges are not going away, they generate too much profit for P&G and EverReady. What could they possibly do to rejuvenate sales? More blades? I dont think even the least discriminating consumer would fall for that. (Well they would, but hopefully not more than once! )
Heres my idea: A proprietary handle much like the Mach3 or Fusion, but with an assortment of cartridges to choose from. From one blade up to five, let the consumer further customize their shave to their needs. They could even go one step further, and have different levels of aggressiveness for each style of cartridge.
What do you think? Am I just tilting at windmills? (whered that phrase come from anyway?)
