The internet is like razor blades. At the moment we're on 2.0 blades, soon there will be 3.0 blades and someone somewhere is working on 4.0 blades.
Which reminds me, if you work at Gilette or something and you're the 4 blades guy, how bad would it feel when you meet the 5 blades guy at the Christmas party. And if the 6 blades guy is there as well?

If I slipped into the Gillette Christmas party, I would be the smug, double-sided safety razor guy. And I could blame it on you. This post, http://noisydecentgraphics.typepad.com/design/2007/08/say-enough-more.html , sent me straight down the path of traditional shaving.

I read in the New Scientist a while back about a shaving technology bod who worked for one of the big Shaver sellers. He insisted that it was much more complex than merely adding blades...

explains some of the science of shaving. Before the internet I would never have come up with such a sentence!

As long as they vibrate, who cares?

Doesn't it just take a single blade to get your competitor on his/her knees? Why bother.

It annoys the hell out of me, all this quadruple triple blade nonsense. And I'm not even a guy.
Soon they'll come out with a new "revolutionary" single blade one, with some catchy tag line about how this one amazing blade is better than all 6. Somehow.
Then it will start all over again.
