Original Title: TIL that in 1975, after Gillette introduced a two-blade cartridge razor, Saturday Night Live aired a fake commercial for a three-blade razor. Gillette introduced one in 1998. In 2004, a satirical article in The Onion introduced a fictional five-blade razor. A real five-blade razor came out in 2006.
To be fair, it IS a much better shave having 5 blades. I don’t even use shaving cream or anything. I just raw dog my face with razors, and it comes out super smooth.
I used to raw dog my face decades ago with single razors. Took forever, and I’d bleed.
i raw dog my face with 2 and 3 blades and it’s perfectly fine. I just shave in the shower, tons of water anyway.
Single blade can be fine that way too
I do with water and hand soap triple blades ez
