Mach 6 Is Coming

A recent commercial for the Gillette Fusion razor, a razor with five blades (+1 “for precision” on the back) invites you to enter a new world of shaving excellence. The new razor, you are told, is a combination of “a revolutionary technology” and “a unique idea.”

A five bladed razor? No way! That kind of outside the box invention will change the world, in a manner not unlike the TV, or a slightly larger TV.

First it was one blade…then two…then three…then briefly four…and now five? That’s a revolution you want to be a part of, based on the most unique idea this side of reality TV.
