Is Gillette the best a man can get?

They started with two blades and now it's five but are we really getting a closer shave?

They are a cut above the rest.
They're simply the best.

There's a girl in Cork called Gillette, she has it shortened to Gill cause every knob on the planet used to say 'the best a man can get' when she originally put her full name to use.

What sort of parents would name their child "Gillette", is her brothers name "Venus"?

Yep. Hydro 5 is the pinnacle. Decided that about a year ago.

Oops. That's Wilkinson Sword - just checked.

So, no then.

Even worse is that it translates as 'young Gilbert'.

Maybe her auld fella hadn't shaved in a while and she was conceived the same night that he finally did.

Paul McCartney bought his wife a plane for Christmas.

Gillette used to design some amazing razors

http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Adjustable/1961%20Fatboy%20G3.jpg

It's a sorry tale when I can get a better shave with a Gillette razor made in 1912 than a Gillette multiblade made in 2012.

The blades are expensive, we all know that

But at Christmas markets the market sellers are selling them cheap
Henry St in Dublin is an example

Is it cheap Chinese knock offs they're selling?

fusion blades are garbage. A good multi-blade system is the Shick Hydro. Or go the DE route - if you have the patience, that is.

Anyone who goes out to buy more than a double blade is nuts. Especially baby faces with bum fluff on their face looking for 5 blades.

I'll bet at some stage in her life she asked her mam, "Why did Gillette that happen?"

They're good if you want to look like a pre-pubescent teen. You cant beat 2 blade disposable razors from tesco. €1 for 10 and you cant go wrong!

The best a man can get is a ferocious handjob from a drunk tranny.

I'm using up my fusion blades, then going back to my Mach3. Much better shave imo.
