Somtimes truth is stranger than fiction

In a serendipitious turn of events, following my repost of this side-splitting Onion article, today Gillette announced an actual five-bladed razor called the Fusion. I guess this might technically be called a six-bladed razor because in literal "put one on the handle" style, this one has a sixth "trimmer" blade in the--you guessed it--handle.

Who knew that Onion article would be so accurate?

Here's an actual quote from the Gillette guy: "The Schick [Quattro] launch has nothing to do with this, it's like comparing a Ferrari to a Volkswagen as far as we''re concerned"

The best part is that you know someone forwarded him the Onion article at some point and he's got to know what a cartoon character he is.

(Plus, this kind of makes this guy look like an idiot.)
