I saw a commercial today for women's razors that vibrate.Why would a ra-

[Algorem]

zor need to vibrate and why's the razor handle so gosh-darn big?Just makes no sense is all I can figger.

1. Gillette just got hit with a cease and decist

over claiming the Mach-Whatever vibrating men's razor working better than others. They're just trying to grab as much cash as possible out of a gimmick.

5. I thought the whole idea...

of marketing was claiming whatever product you're selling is the best there is. (?)

13. I guess their claim crossed 'some' boundary, maybe

related to FDA since it's a razor. Not sure...

2. I dunno, but I got Lynz one

and now she's always in the shower :eyes:

6. Squeaky clean...

and smooth legs to boot!

3. I think as they tell it the vibrating is supposed to lift the hair up and

make it easier to cut. They way I figure it. Its nothing more than a stupid gimmick to jump the price up on something that really should be cheap. The started it with the mens razors and now they have got hit with a cease a desist order because they can't prove it makes any difference.

4. It's for women who wouldn't be...

caught dead buying a "massager" at the drug store. :blush:

8. That's what electric toothbrushes are for

or so I've heard . . .

16. "... or so I've heard . . ."

ouch! and yuk.

7. The Mach 3 vibratin' razor is the shit

best fucking razor ever done used, I tell you :D

9. Marketing, pure and simple.

They make even more money on the blade cartridges made just fot that doodad handle.

[Saphire]

10. I dunno, a vibrating razor??? Sounds dangerous...

[Rick Myers]

14. Sorta like getting a straight razor shave from

an epileptic??? Whatever works!!!

Welcome to DU...

11. are you sure it was a razor...

:blush:

12. The marketing of razors makes me crazy

Whenever new (meaning more expensive) razor techology comes out, the old stuff goes away. I went to buy plain old twin blades and found that, at Target, they only come in one size in the store brand. And forget about buying a new handle--just can't find 'em.

15. Razors and razorblades

Marketing 101. Disposable tech...

And annoying as Hell!!! :grr:
