BTW, in case anyone cares, it turns out I was wrong. Gillette's actual new razor introduced 6/6... still has 5 blades. They're just thinner now. And there have been some other design tweaks. Nothing that strikes me (not having tried the old or new ones) as earth-shaking. In fact, they say the differences may not be visible to the naked eye. But they assure us that the differences are there and important. I'm surprised, especially given all the ad dollars they put in to announcing the launch more than a month in advance.

But... Whatever.

Ah, I see.

I guess thinner blades might be better. But still, too much hassle.

Hassle? These are disposable razors. You're supposed to use them for a short time and then change. No more of a hassle to switch than to change toothbrushes, I think.

It's just strange that they hyped and hyped the release, and now the ads are just empty things where a guy is given one to try and then says he won't give it back because it's too good... without any mention of what makes it so good or different.

I meant, too much hassle made for something that's not really that much of a change.
