    These days I use Wilkinson Sword Xtreme 3 Sensitive disposables. Although, I'm not a very hairy guy, these seem fine to me. 3 blades and a lubrication strip. Anything beyond that is just marketing nonsense as far as I'm concerned.

      Exactly, I think the magic formula that works is the 3 blades and the lubrication strip which may or may not work as well as advertised.

    I've realized how stupid Gillette and their marketing tactics are a long time ago. I use a 3 blade razor from the 90's and I'm happy. I think one of their moronic marketing people watched too many Dyson commercials and went... "Hmm, we can have a ball too!"

      Every time Gillette pops up in the news I remember this oldie-but-goodie from the Onion Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades. It's awesome.

      I've been using a double-edge safety razor for a few years now and love it. I'd much rather spend 10 cents on a replaceable razorblade .vs 15 bucks for a whole new shaver. The actual razors themselves are a little high, but they're durable and work well.

        The problem I find with the double edged safety razors is that its actually quite easy to nick yourself if you're not paying attention. I'm usually awake for only about 10 min when I shave so I don't pay as much attention to making sure I don't slice my throat as I should. I guess I'm just used to the way the 3 blade razor glides across my skin. As for more blades, I saw this a while back, though it was amusing.

          haha. Looks like the grill off an 18-wheeler. That's awesome.

          I normally shave in the evenings, so I'm usually awake enough to make it through safely. you can definitely nick the hell out of yourself if you're not giving it your full attention.

            I might just move my shaving over to evenings or after my morning coffee and give it another try. Although, I have say... I'm quite satisfied with the 3 blade razor, its a nice close shave.
