Jesus christ, this is getting ridiculous.
| quote: |
The move renews an ongoing blade battle with Schick, the shaving unit of Energerizer (Research), which launched a four-blade razor, the Quattro, last year. The move ate into Gillette sales and sparked a legal battle between the two companies.
Schick is adding a battery-powered Quattro to its lineup this month, while Gillette's Fusion -- in both manual and battery-powered models -- won't hit North American stores until early next year.
"The Schick launch has nothing to do with this, it's like comparing a Ferrari to a Volkswagen as far as we're concerned," Chairman, President and Chief Executive James Kilts, told Reuters.
"But, would someone tell me how this happened? We were the ing vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next," Kilts continued. "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, it. We're going to five blades."
"You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a . From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the multi-blade game. Are they the best a man can get? , no. Gillette is the best a man can get."

Gilette's shaving products will always hold a special place in my heart because of their CEO's crazy antics.

Straight razor forever!
Disclaimer: This is an imitation of the Gilette CEO - not rabbitjoker's actual personality or demeanor.
As the straight-razor CEO, I have to say:
"A big you to all you packaged razaor amateurs. Scared of a little nick, a little scratch? Not able to handle the power and make it work? Well you and your manhood! The straight razor is for true men who don't mind putting their life on the line and getting a close shave!"
The straight-razor CEO continues:
"so you don't know how to use the manly blade! We'll it is about time you grab your manhood in your hand and figure out how to get a good, close and hard shave! I don't care how many blades you have in your hand, if one of them can't provide the best cut, the best fit, the best feel - then -you to all the bastards of the world who are nuts bojangle balls!"
Further:
"As the straight-razor CEO - I like to shave like I ... Close!
No bags, no aloe strip, no chessy battery control! Screw the shoddy multi-blade bull, go for the bare, blade on skin, metal on flesh! Straight-razor shaving FOREVER!!!!"
