Life Imitates The Onion

From The Onion, about 19 months ago:

What part of this don't you understand? If two blades is good, and three blades is better, obviously five blades would make us the best fucking razor that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the razor game by clinging to the two-blade industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five blades is the biggest chance of all.

Via Gizmodo, from ShavingStuff.com (yes, if there's a subject, someone blogs about it), yesterday:

You're never going to believe this. Gillette has leap-frogged the Schick Quattro into the unchartered world of five blades. Five Blades! Did you hear me? FIVE BLADES!

Hey, they wrote off the Mach3, and I use one now and love it.

Actually, I might try the Gillette Fusion if only for the hidden sixth blade on the back for shaving under the nose and squaring off sideburns, two details that are pretty difficult with Mach3.

There. I blogged about shaving, like you really care. At least I didn't blog about the iPod nano.

BTW: Let's hope that life doesn't imitate this Onion article in any way that I have to see.
