New...electric razor from Gillette

Looks pretty expensive to me.

I'll stick to my tried and true method of shaving once a week with my safety razor and dying my hair a freakish new color every month.

When people see a big pile of "Scarlet Fever Red" hair on top of your head they generally don't notice that you haven't shaved in a while.
 
I hear Schick is coming out with a new razor that does all that plus plays MP3s and has Internet access...

Here it is: (okay, only five blades, and the original link is gone, but this guy preserved the article...) Warning - bad language.

More is not necessarily better. These things never caught on.

That was so funny it nearly gave me a heart attack. Thanks - hilarious.
 
We should all get together and come up with a product that's both backlash to the multi-razorblade industry, and really bad, skeptic-related pun:

We'll market it as "Occam's Razor: One blade because simpler is always better".

I thought Shemp had already given us that:

Yeah, but he lacked the fortitude to (or likely posessed the decency, not to) actually take it far enough to make it into a really, really bad joke.

No doubt it will cost even more than the Mach3 Turbo super dooper etc etc etc so I am not going to buy one on principal because if I do, my wife will just use it on her legs.

Gosh I hate that. If I ever file for divorce then I assure you that will be near the top in the complaint. What's worse is that she denies it, maintains smooth legs and pits, and has never owned a razor!

I actually bought my wife one of those Venus jobbies, but will she buy refills? Does the pope observe ramadan?
 
AMEN!!!

Ever day I go into the bathroom, pick up my razor from the edge of the tub, change blades, and shave. I've started keeping my blade hidden, and putting her old one back on when I'm done.

Worst part, I bought her the Venus thing, too. I use a Mach 3. THEY BOTH USE THE SAME BLADES!!!!!!!!!

But every morning, her Venus is sitting by itself on the corner of the bathroom cabinet, covered in a thin layer of dust, cobwebs on it, looking sad and dejected. And my razor looks like it was used to shave a wire brush.

*sigh*
 
I sense a recurring theme here. Guess what I bought my wife last weekend? A Venus!

Damn those advertising genuises!
 
Do not buy your wife a Venus. Buy her a guys razor. Let her try guys shaving stuff. Let her compare the cost between her stuff and ours and the difference in quality. For extra points shave her legs with a good guys blade (Wilkinson Sword quattro or diamond fx), good shaving oil (Somerest or Clarinss) a bowl of hot water and a towel. Shave her leg as if it was your cheek. Proceed from there according to taste.

But just be careful if you use one of these new fangled sonic vibrating thingumies though.;)
 
I have been shaving for over 20 years, and in that time we have had double, treble and even quadruple blades, and now this! I keep a 2X blade, which gave the best shave a man could get at the time.

For around 3 - 4 weeks, a five pack of such a blade can and will last (without pyramids) over 16 weeks, that's one third of a year, just make sure you keep the blades clean.

Admittedly my shaving nowadays does not follow the rapid stroke as per the adverts of the last few years resulting in some stunner stroking my face with come-and-get me eyes, but I had a lot of success with the one blade and still do with two! ;-)

Um, why don't you try putting her Venus in the tub right next to yours...?

Solution No. 2: Use her toothbrush some morning just before she walks into the bathroom. When she makes a stink, pick up the two razors and say nothing* - just raise an eyebrow.

My wife has a Schick that she keeps in the bathtub and uses every single day, leaving my Gillette in blessed peace. Of course, my beard is about the texture of 12 gauge electrical wire and my five o'clock shadow starts in around lunchtime the previous day, plus I use the razor to trim the insides of my ears about once a week or so, so if she ever DID use my razor, her legs and pits would probably be nothing but bloody stumps covered with ear wax.

I love my wife very, very much.

Are there any women on this thread...?



* You can't after all - you have her toothbrush in your mouth.

Oh, my...

How, um, effective is this technique, if you get my drift (and I ain't talking about hair removal).

How big are your ears? If I tried this I would probably cut them off.
