Okay, let me put an end to the BLADE debate:
Seriously, there shouldn’t be a debate.
Four is far better than two, and for Christ’s sake, two is exponentially better than one.
And, if you don’t believe me, you need to go and buy some for yourself.
Tonight, Miranda and Reilly came over to grab dinner at Zefferelli’s with us — Fab dinner!! We all enjoyed it — Not like we wouldn’t. We always have a great time with those two.
Afterwards, we all came back from the restaurant and watched “The Incredibles” at our place, and had a thoroughly great time with our new sound system.
Near the end of the movie, (and two martinis later), I decided since I’ve already seen the movie, I’d let the gang watch the last fifteen minutes while I “shaved” for the weekend. This, by the way, is unusual for me, because I’m blonde, and my hair doesn’t grow quickly.
Kay, so I was shaving. (Dad, you may want to stop reading here…) I decided to grab one of my Sweetie’s razors to start. Ya. Uh. NO.
Next, I grabbed one of my disposable ‘two’ blade razers… Faster, to be sure, but man, still a pain in the ass I noticed!
Finally, I grabbed one of the new razors I bought — I think it had four blades.
Suddenly, I felt like I was getting somewhere. A reminder? I’M BLONDE. I don’t grow a lot of hair, and it’s fine hair (as in very, very fine, not fine as in wow, Tan, you have really nice hair) when I do. The fact that *I* noticed a difference would mean that I’m not the only one — anyone would!
So, you may or may not believe the hype, but more blades do mean a better shave. No question. I welcome your feedback!!

I agree, the more the merrier, when it comes to blades. It makes me feel older than I should, but I remember when Saturday Night Live did a joke commercial for a four blade razor just after the three blade ones came out – making fun of them, basically.
I wonder how many other of their spoof commercials wound up becoming actual products…
Well, you could forget about the whole shaving/quad-blade thing and go the “Oh Natural” way: the Earth and Goth Chick look. I mean, why torture yourself over looking bare skinned and live with what nature gave you–after all you are blond. But as a Male of the species, I say, be thankful that you do not need to contend with facial hair twice a day! In fact, from above my ankles to my forehead is one massive mat of hair follicles–everywhere accept on the very top of my head–where I need that hair the most. I am so lazy that I will not spend the time with a razer–electric is the way to go for me!
Tan, dear–that manual stuff is too much work. I go purely electric.
I tried a 4 blade razor and actually didn’t think it really did a better job, in fact I thought it was worse. It just didn’t seem to get in there and chop down those hair.
Haha, too funny.
Thanks for having us over, and thanks for introducing us to that restaurant! We’ll definitely go back there – FABULOUS!
Enjoy your weekend on the island!
I love the five blade men’s razors! That way I can nick myself five times worse in one fifth the time!
Hmmm, well, its 12:45 on a the eve of a long weekend, so I want my Sweets to be in my arms instead of bloggin’, but! Hmmm, this blade test would make for a *very* interesting television commercial…
Hmm. That’s about right. I’m vigorously shaking martinis, and he’s questioning the blade debade.
I’m so not surprised.
That said, I’m *so still bleeding* from his stupid single blades, so, well, ya, single blades are going to forever *suck ass* in my books.
I welcome your feedback — Maybe uh, I’m completely out to lunch?
