Fusion
Posted: Mon 23 October, 2006 Filed under: Domestic 2 Comments »I love the adverts for the Gilette Fusion razor. The entire bollocks of “the comfort of five blades” is hilarious, but then the final bit about “a single blade on the back for those hard-to-reach places” is the absolute killer for me.
Because I’m sorry, but if the cartridge weren’t so bloody huge with its four or five blades on the front, there’d be no fucking need for that extra one on the bloody back! In short – unshockingly – if you stuck with the razor with three blades, or even shock, horror one blade (I should confess here, I do use the one with three blades) you’d be fine, and wouldn’t need the poxy single blade on the fucking back.
I still use the two blades. I fear I may have to start stocking up on them as they are becoming hard to find.
I will NOT pay for three blades. I’ve tried it and didn’t make a blind bit of difference. Definitely a blocked product.
sorry I missed this post – the arts cinema started running some funny spoof ads this year – one of them was “the new quintuple extra-sharp fantastic razor” – and a picture of a bloke shaving with a razor that was effectively bigger than his face.
