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.
Most safely razors. Or, if you’re looking for a body shave, leaf has a razor that takes safety razor blades but puts it in the style of a cartridge. Less learning curve. I’d personally give it a 9/10. For reference, I’d give Gillette 5 blades a 6.5/10
