So Gillette are bringing out a "heated" razor, and it's ONLY £250!

Because they can. Morons will buy it, and they'll probably release an app that connects to your razor or some such utter fkwittery.

Genuinely at a loss with shaving these days... it blows me away just how much some of these fancy razor blades cost ...

I get 200 Gillette Safety Blades for a tenner, and a bowl of shaving soap for 2:50 that lasts 2 months and i get a better shave with that than any of the fancy multi blade jobbies i have tried over the years, and its "good for the environment" as minimal plastics involved (innit)

Gotta feel sorry for the Gilette designers though, it's just a stick with a blade on it (or 12 blades now), what else can you do with it. Must be pretty depressing going in to work on Monday morning and trying to think up a new way to make a blade on a stick seem interesting.

I'd like one with sound effects so it sounds like I am shaving with a v8 please Gillette. Or lasers.

Laser shaving. Ditch the blades altogether. Next big thing.

Did not realise there were adverts in the forums! Have been using an adblocker for so long now I'm not sure I have ever seen one on here.

Didnt they try and flog a single blade system, while simultaneously trying to tell us how great their multi blades are.
Even the ad said in the small print that it didn't shave as close???
Still if it makes some blokes think they will look like the bloke in the ad, they will stay in business.

It is supposed to replicate the hot towel shave experience...I liked that when I had it done.

Hmmm, hot towel or hot bit of plastic rubbed over your face. Yeah I can see the appeal in that.

Maybe it's designed the cauterise the cuts their bad blades cause.
