    That one, for me, although I also note that 5 blade razors are now a thing…

    But you know what happened next? Shut up, I’m telling you what happened—the bastards went to four blades. Now we’re standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we’re the chumps. Well, fuck it. We’re going to five blades.

      It was also basically a “news” article version of an SNL mock ad from the 70s about a 3-bladed razor with the tagline, “because you’ll buy anything.”
