Gillette Fusion: More Blades, Less Interest

Gillette, in pursuit of "a better way to shave", has announced plans for their Fusion line of razors. The big news? 5 blades.

Hard to contain your excitement, isn't it? I mean, 5 whole blades "spaced 30 percent closer together than MACH3 blades". Wow. I can't wait to try out that "5 blade Shaving Surface(tm)". I mean, it's got to be, what...2-blade-units better than the MACH3, right? Sign me up!

I'm seriously considering switching to a Merkur "Classic" Safety Razor. Nice write up here, courtesy of Cool Tools. $26 for the shaver & 1 blade, but then replacement blades are much cheaper than most other cartridge-based razors.
