The multiple blade razor is the biggest scam perpetrated on the US Consumer.

If the first blade cuts the whisker, what is left for th all the other blades to cut?

[Redstone]

1. It's called "hysteresis." The first blade cuts MOST of the hair, and the second

catches the rest of the hair "on the rebound."

It works with two blades, but any number of blades beyond that is overkill.

2. No, the biggest scam is "compassionate conservatism" and "family values"

I like my multi-blade razor! Shaves real purty like.

...dealt with that question -- and this MAY have been when TWO blades was all you could get.

I couldn't find that one, but this one is pretty good.

The "message" at the end of the original SNL one was "Why 3 blades? 'Cause you'll buy anything we tell you to".

5. You should send me money so I can lead the fight against this scam

Or I could just send you a $3000 check from overseas and you could use it to beat the exchange rate and cut me a check for $2800 to pay for your lottery taxes. Then I will release the million dollars you won in the Euro Lotto.

7. I kind of used to like the double blades.

don't know if they worked better, but they did feel better and my skin didn't seem to need the same amount of recovery time, but last time I looked even the generic double blades were 3 times as much as singles so the cheapskate in me said fuck it and bout the singles. I am ready to find an old steel razor like I had as a teen and buy just blades. Hell I hardly bother with it at all any more...I'm trapped in the phony world of advertising commanding me to shave my pits and legs - nobody else cares, why do I??? I hate that. I don't fall for much but that one has had me suckered for a long time.

8. I take it you've never heard "Nu Metal"

If you had heard it, you would be trying to get both blades out of the razor...just to make sure those discs were completely unplayable in the future.

9. Actually the biggest rip off is the price of women's razors. You pay more for "pink".

10. Sounds like you need a razor with just one more blade on it....
