$150 Razor Comes with a Built-In Flashlight, Still Doesn't Explain The Price

OK, someone explain this to me: the new Gillette Fusion Chrome Collection Power Razor is a shaving implement with your standard retarded amount of blades, vibrating function and…a flashlight built in? But why? Who shaves in the dark? I'd say terrorists living in caves, but they clearly don't shave, so that's not it. Perhaps campers, but I don't know many outdoorsmen who are going to spend $150 on a razor to bring into the wilderness. I'm stumped. Guesses, commenters? [Product Page via Book of Joe]

How to Turn Your Body Into a Hairless Wonderland With Gadgets: Part 2

In our first hairless wonderland feature, we took a look at how you could rid your entire body of hair using three simple gadgets. The Mangroomer, the Flowbee and the Philips Bodygroom allow you to make sure your back, head and crotchular regions are free of any unslightly plumage. But what about the most important part of your body; the part that everyone looks at during a conversation (no, not your jiblets—and the Bodygroom has that covered)? Yes, we're talking about the face. And with the Braun Pulsonic or the Gillette Fusion Power Phantom, you can be sure your mug is as glossy as the top of Patrick Stewart's head. More »

Fusion Hits Stores. Pandemonium Over Crazy Orange Package!

The new Gillette Fusion razor is now available in stores and it seems users are just excited as hell to pay for a product they probably have absolutely no need for. Here's Greg from Texas, a live one, explaining how he went out and bought that baby right when it hit the shelves.
I got my Fusion last night (1/26/06) in Houston. I used it and I think it's a winner. The blade cartridge is much larger but the individual blades are about 50% smaller than the Mach3 Turbo. The shave feels much different than the M3T. Maybe it was because it was a new cartridge, but the shave seemed closer with less razor burn. The single blade on the back is a great addition too, but I think it will take some practice to get the perfect sideburns.

Wow. Heavy, man. But expect the media blitz to really begin when the Fusion gets airtime during the Super Bowl next weekend. Think half-naked man at sink fondling his close shave with hot woman ogling from behind. The Fusion without power is $9.99 and the Fusion Power will run you $11.99. So get on out there and make Gillette some more cash, will ya? More »

Gillette 5 Blade Razor

Let's consider the following events: Gillette has created a razor with 5 blades and we discover a blog dedicated to shavers and shaving. Both of these items are unusual, at best, but the conjunction of both of these at the same time is like watching a solar eclipse—if I didn't have two millennia of scientific learning and reasoning to assuage my fears, I would think the world was going to end.
