You know I once saw a skitt on MadTV about a 10 blade Razor that would first cut the hair, then the skin, and finally the Bone. Now, it looks like Gillette is going to make it a reality with their new 5+ blade razor. Hell, I thought anything more than 2 was a joke, or more likely a frill. Thank God I have my overpriced Braun electric so I don't have to jump through all the hoops.

Oh, and if you need more than the 5+ blades of this razor just wait untill after after the first of the year when it comes out with a Bettery Pack and built in computer chip.

Unbelievable

NEW YORK, Sept 14 (Reuters)

- Gillette Co. (G.N: Quote, Profile, Research) unveiled two five-bladed men's razors on Wednesday with a trimmer and even a microchip in one version, aiming to stay ahead of smaller rivals by adding more than just blades.

Gillette hopes Fusion, with five blades on the front and a trimming blade on the back of its pivoting head, will become its leading franchise, followed by Mach3 and Sensor.

That was hilarious, considering the facts now. Hard to believe the article was written a a year and a half ago. in Feb 04. Great read.

Would be a pretty good fake press release now.

this is me not paying attention to sov. sov ain't nothing anymore, at least before he had a rep around here and it was worth it for me to give him shit. the only thing i'd be accomplishing responding to sov would be giving him the attention that he can't get on his own cuz he doesn't have my charisma nor originality. when he writes something maybe half the forum pays it any mind. when i write something people read it. i don't want him getting any undeserved attention because i acknowledged him. he's basically a poor man's me. i'm like Richard Pryor in his prime, he's DL Hughley. sov is like someone who had his 15 minutes in a reality show, and does a commerical or something a year later not knowing he isn't relevant anymore. i don't blame sov, though, i blame his dad for opting to ejaculate in his mother that cursed day 20 something years ago, instead of blowing his load in her mouth as was his normal routine. she in turn would have swallowed, digested the semen and shit sov out. sure, he ultimately did come out of his mother, but, alas, it was from the wrong hole.

Translation:

He really makes me feel bad with his incisive and absolutely dead-on translations of my pathetic attempts at appearing cool in the only place I can possibly appear cool--the internet. I didn't have the guts to defend myself before, so I played it off as if I was in on the joke--but in this thread I realize that I will have at least one guy on my side, so fuck everything, here is my actual opinion.

Actually if you look through other threads, I've never disguised my intense dislike of HA. *shrugs* To me there's no point in making nice with someone you'd just as soon jack up against the wall and remove their skin strip by strip with a rusty razor.

if someone constantly shit on me in public forums, i, too, would have an intense dislike of that person, so no offense taken. i'll just have to console myself that you'll never share your tips on banging women with me.

and by "banging", i mean trying to be their friend and chase butterflies with them.

No, see I'm just calling it like it is. I'm calling you a bitch cuz you are a bitch, bitch.

Got it? Good.

And I got more game than your ass cuz if Some Random Girl was in a room with just you and me, and if she was going home with only one of us, I guaran-fucking-tee you'd be the one having to stand in the corner circle jerking with the toothless wino who came in looking for the leftover booze.

Remember Danger Kitty? They were a spoof band for (i think) Capital One commercials...bout 4 years ago.

They had a song on the commercial called "Love Rocket". Very funny.

Oh, and I don't like multiblade razors. My mach 3 doest cut all the hair in one swoop like on the commercial.

Danger Kitty is an actual 80's spoof band called Metal Shop (at the time, now known as Metal Skool). They do originals that are freakin' hilarious (I have some MP3s you've GOT to hear), but are mainly an 80s cover band in LA. I think they're affiliated with National Lampoon now for a DVD release.

There was a huge fight over the name Metal Shop a few years back, so they're now Metal Skool. Funny as hell stuff:

The names of a couple of guys in the band sound familiar, but I can't place them from yesteryear. Or perhaps that's part of the joke, I don't know!

Man, the blade proliferation must be stopped. I wonder if Schick will counter with a 6 blade, or just move to something like 8 blades. Have their "Ocho" razor which probably will cost 10 bucks for a one pack of blade refills.

And I'm sure this new one will be hella stolen. Its moving from a functional razor, into a luxury item.
