All I really wanted was a clean shave, not a self-sacrifice.-Bill Cosby
A couple of months ago I got a package in the mail that said Gillette Fusion on the box. Inside was one of these niffty Fusion Razors made out of metal and heavy enough to be a pretty good paperweight. It had the five blades I had seen boasted about on TV ads, four in the front, one in the back. Did I mention the thing weighted a ton?
Ok, I did not order this item, or request it that I recall, but here it was. There are a number of sites that say you can get one for free, but it seemed the usual click around that leads nowhere. So I would have remembered doing all that.
I used it and was honestly frightened of shredding my face. But all I got from the Gillette Fusion Razor was a close shave, as promised. I am not one of those guys that really loves the feel of surgically sharp metal pressed to my face. Shaving is something you have to do, not something you want to do. This is as good a razor as any, I have used it and liked it.
Anyway, I then went over to the Gillette Fusion website and what to my wondering eyes should appear? A ton of flash animations with a sultry ‘scientist’ who wants to show me all about the Fusion Razor in a holographic environment. Ok, I have watched Star Trek The Next Generation, nothing good ever came from spending too much time in the Holodeck. The woman swings and swivels and speaks in mild innuendo about the prowess of this disposable razor and how she likes to get what she wants, too.
I wonder if she uses this razor. . .now that would be a flash video I might watch.
