How many blades do you need in a razor?

Gillette have just released the Fusion, it has SIX blades! Am I the only one that thinks that this is a money-making scam? How far will it go? 12? 20? 132?

Answers:
Too right it's a scam!! Now, I wonder how long it will take the rest of the world to figure that out?? If you don't buy it, they'll soon stop making them, people of the world .
all of them
yeah 6 more opportunities to cut your face to ribbons i reckon!
bic is all you need
One.

You only need one,, the rest are just marketing ploys.
Gillette - the more the merrier.
You only actually need one really, if its good enough then it will work.
6 Blades? that ludicrous!
can't see it goin so far as 12 what would you do with 20 use it once and think it will last for 1 year.
Two blades work for me. I cannot use the single blade Bic razors, though, they tear up my skin.
I use the double-blade with aloe strip and pivot head. Works just as well as any other 3 or 4 blade I've used.
I thought that Wilkinson Sword had gone overboard with four blades but I can tell you that the Fusion 5 is fantastic, it grips the skin and is by far the best shave I have ever had.

Send any cheques to the usual address Gilette.
One Sharp one will do the job
The marketers will keep adding extra blades and tell us their product is even better. The truth is I dont know ..just don't believe the hype, thats all.
its all about 3 mach 3 is the best every thing else is stupid
I guess you only NEED one but it's so much quicker with more attached.
I think 3 is really good enough the Gillette mach 3 turbo is about the best razor I've had and priced pretty good too.
the next step is 7 lol
My razor only has 3.6 is just way too exaggerated.
I use a three bladed razor and it works better than a one or two bladed razor. The hair doesn't grow back as quick.
My 'OLD' Style single razor,

The PROPER razor blade style without the stupid,
GUIDESso you dont cut yourself is PERFECT.

All the rest is just marketing!

I mean if you cannot shave without 6 blades plus a
protection system,,,,, Grow a beard!
It's simply a matter of marketing.
It would be very simple and inexpensive to create a razor that doesn't need sharpening and lasts almost forever. The problem is that they wouldn't make any money out of that would they?
They'd sell one to everyone who shaves, then once everybody has one, sales would go down to almost nothing.

The same is done with light-bulbs. I was told many years ago that an ever-lasting light bulb has not only been innnvented, it has also been patented. Guess who holds the patent?! A big light-bulb manufacturer. Again, if we didn't need to keep buying bulbs, they'd go out of business.

When you think about it, the same theory applies to many many items. (Cheap cars are often designed to last about ten years, this is so you'll buy another one!?)

Isn't the consumer age wonderful? No wonder we've fu*ked the planet!
as many as you want
Excel is all you need-2 blades
As many as the marketing men say we need. Trust marketing. Wish me luck for my interview tomorrow.marketing job.
