Original Title: TIL that in 1975, after Gillette introduced a two-blade cartridge razor, Saturday Night Live aired a fake commercial for a three-blade razor. Gillette introduced one in 1998. In 2004, a satirical article in The Onion introduced a fictional five-blade razor. A real five-blade razor came out in 2006.
I have a six-blade razor for my HeadBlade razor.
I have a Henson double edge shaver and use cheap but effective blades a couple of times. Better shaves and way cheaper overall than anything I’ve used before.
