Four blades good, five blades better

First, read this Onion article from February last year.

Then, read this press release story from earlier this week.

Then, be afraid. Be very afraid.

(Spotted in Holy Moly.)

Amusement rating: 10 - in fact, the first article was actually made funnier by the fact that I knew the real life version would follow.

Though evidently the lathering strip was a bit too much to ask for.

That's hilarious!

Incidentally, what's your razor of choice? (provided you're a wet shaver)

Mine is the Wilkinson Sword Protector 3D Diamond. Not exactly cutting-edge (aha!) but a good reliable workhorse ;-)

I hope you cut yourself for that pun. ;oP

Wow! Hilarious. No blades on the handle, I hope. I hate aloe strips, so found the Onion piece's ending particularly unfortunate. And then read on.

I feel positively antedeluvian with a fixed-head two blades.

Apparently the extra blade is on the back, for 'trimming under your nose'. Not quite as dangerous as on the handle, but almost.
Two blades fixed-head? That's not just antediluvian, it's positively (erm...) prelapsarian! Even the angel with the flaming sword probably had a swivel blade.
