The Power of 4 (part 2)
Well, I finished my one week trial of the Schick Quattro razor blade that was sent to me as a promotion in the mail. I shaved seven times with the razor and came to the following conclusions.
Four blades are really too many. After a week of shaving with this blade, I ended up with a nasty razor burn and an ingrown hair on my neck. Three blades seem just about right for me.
As for the “advanced anti-clog technology for improved rinsability,” it seemed to work okay. I'm not really sure how you know if you have improved rinsability; or if your old razor had better than average rinsability in the first place. Surely there must be a scale of rinsability somewhere. You know, like the Richter scale for earthquakes. Scientists will tell you that an earthquake is a 3.2 on the Richter scale. All you know is that cups rattled on the shelf and the dog got spooked.
Then there were those two lubricated strips on the Schick Quattro that supposedly contained aloe and vitamin E. I think something sinister is going on there. You’re going to think I’m crazy, but every time I shaved with this razor I had an ominous sensation that something bad was going to happen, that the nation was doomed, that we needed to stay the course, that terrorists would move into the house next door if I were to vote for change, that my child would have a transsexual operation and embark on a same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, that my guns would be taken away, my SUV downsized. Then I realized, hey, I don't have a gun or an SUV. What's up here? It had to be the lubricating strips! Thankfully, I stopped shaving with the Schick Quattro just before election day. The mysterious spell seems to have worn off in time. I voted for change. But I wonder, just how many Americans were shaving with the Schick Quattro razor that they received in the mail just before the election? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but sometimes you wonder...
