Commentary: Marketing: Shaving

With all the Super Bowl ad hype winding down, I still haven't purchase Gillete's new razor, which I fully intended to... that is, until receiving an email with this link - http://www.shopping.philips.com/norelco/ - this morning (and pictured left). Now I'm thinking I should just stick with my Mach3 Power and use this already allocated $ from my "male grooming products" budget on something that can also help in the kitchen. Talk about killing 2 birds with one stone. Yes, I refrained from revising that idiom. Anyway, I'll probably end up getting both, but not because of Gillete's SB spot... rather because it was prophesized by The Onion a couple years ago in this article: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/33930/print/

skip the mach 3 and fusion! i'm holding out for the LAZER WAND. it is reminiscent of a mini lightsaber, with a hefty grip, balanced weight, thumb trigger activation, and a low-rumble buzz when it melts the hair, thus no damage to skin like analog metal blades. the future is gonna be so great!
