Crazy - But I Gotta Have It

Gillette introduces the five-blade razor, the Fusion.

Fusion is also an affordable luxury. Sure, men will have to shell out $10 for an introductory set of a Fusion razor and two blades, and $12 or more for a four-pack of replacement blades. But over time, Hoffman figures Fusion will cost only about 20 cents a shave, "or about $50 a year." That's fairly reasonable compared to the cost of Starbucks coffee, bottled water, and other increasingly common everyday luxuries.


I'm a big fan of the 3-blade razor. The downside, I've been unable to find a "generic" replacement 3-blade device. Finder cheaper replacement blades was never a problem with the "old" double-blade models. Target, Walgreens, et.al. long ago introduced their own cheaper versions of the double-blade razor. Yet, I still pay full-price for the 3-blade models. The 5-blade model will probably break the bank.

But, damn they work so nice. Much better shave than the 3 blade model.
