Razor blogging
Insty is right. The new Gillette Fusion gives the second best shave ever. Number one is when my barber (Hill’s Barber Shop off Broadway) uses a straight razor to trim up the neck after a haircut. I once commented that I liked the shave and he said he’d get me a straight razor if I wanted. I asked if it came with a class on how to use it because I’d hate to cut off my face. Then, he had an idea to do an instructional DVD for the straight razor. But I digress. Back to the Gillette, it gives a damn fine shave compared to the old Mach 3 I’d been using.

What is different about the fusion? I can’t keep up.
I gotta shave the ol’ beard off soon (it’s traditionally my valentine’s day present to amanda), and I can’t find my old mach3..

Man, I love getting a haircut at that barbershop. Hot shave and then finish with the hot towels.
Chris, that is like the cheapest Valentine’s Day present I have ever heard of. Dave Ramsey would be proud of you.
what does Amanda shave for you for Valentine’s?
I kid. 🙂

Chris, it has five blades. Next week, something with 6 will show up I’m sure.

Yeah, jay, eventually they’ll sell a wall made of razor blades and you just rub your face on it.

Funny, the best shave I get is with my safety razor and a brand new blade. And at $2 for a pack of 12, I can afford to change it every couple of days.

Phelps, when your balls finally drop, you beard will get thicker and those won’t, err, cut it 😉

Uncle:
Actually, the Fusion has six blades, counting the one on the reverse side. 🙂
And on the topic of razors, I found that I still get the best shave (not including barber shop shaves) from the plain old Gilette Sensor two-blade model. Since the Mach 3 isn’t flexible, it doesn’t conform to the curves of my face (of which there are more than there used to be, but I digress), and I also get much worse razor burn from it.

Yeah, didn’t realize that until the superbowl. Most excellent. But you can only shave with 5. Or 1.
