CrazyJohn on Four Blades-
"Where will it end?" the commercial asks, "Here" it replies itself. Four blades on a razor... when arguably the best shave comes from a sharp single blade and a skilled hand.
Putting a fourth blade on a razor is like putting a fourth blade on a helicopter... is it really better than three? Probably... but does that mean that five blades is better than four? Not necessarily... and who really knows? To the layman... the difference is negligible. We'll probably just give in, if enough companies start making razors with four blades... "oh... it's got one more blade" we'll say " that must make it better." And then we'll buy Kleenex instead of Walgreens facial tissue and Band-Aids instead of Spartan brand bandages... because we don't really know the difference so we go with what we know. Oh... don't think this is important? Think I'm just being stupid? Ok... look at the governor of California. Case closed.
