First Gillette launched a razor with three blades, and the world was in awe.
Then Wilkinson Sword just the proverbial and launched a razor with four blades.
Gillette must have decided it was about time to respond, with the 'Fusion', which has FIVE blades, six if you count the 'precision trimmer'.
I wish I could find that picture I made of the Gillette Mach 10...

What're folks opinions on these fancy razors especially those from Gillette? I think they're a gimmick and a waste of cash so I'm sticking with my trusty razor that's so old I've forgotten the name. The blades aren't a gazillion quid though and I shave just fine.

I use the gillete 3-blade one, they're nice in comparison to the one-off ones. I change the head once the blue/green shaving goo wears off the strip above the blades - ie they last about 8 shaves.
i cant what difference on performance they can possibly have, i have a mach 3 at the moment with 3 blades and it shaves incredibly close

For some reason, the blue/green gunk never seems to wear off mine. i just change the blades when it gets sore to shave.
I got on of those Fusion things for free and I can honestly say that it is the most pointless thing ever.
I usually use the good old fashioned razors so I don't know if this is anything special but it does have like a flexible joint on it which makes it a bit easier to use.
So how long before a six bladed razor appears?

about five minutes probably!
i was wondering how long it will be untill someone brings out a wider razor so you can shave your face in 1 stroke lol

Correct apart from the working part
what gets me is that if they can't get it right with a razor that has only one blade why should they be trusted to make one with 5 blades
well i learned something from all of this...

Schick!? its like a cross between a sh** and a di**.

The theory behind more blades (imo) is that it doesnt get clogged up so quick, and so lasts longer.. i guess most people dont bother cleaning them with a toothpick... - and they dont want you too becuase they would lose money = why they put the annoying wire bits across the blades (seen many that dont have them) and make it harder to clean them.
blades really dont get blunt very quick they just get clogged up and mine last a month or two if i shave every few days and then they are still sharp - just the wire bits get out of place.
More blades is going to make it too sharp when its new and cut you a lot more.
