Once again Gillette is late to the party. They just spent $2.5 million on a Super Bowl ad to launch the Fusion 5-Blade razor. Too bad I released my new 6-blade Hyku Sextet razor today. As you can see below it features a total of six blades set on two independent pivoting three-blade heads.
Each head also features a lubri-strip and beard-stimulating system. Like the Fusion it comes in two models: Battery and Manual. Of course with the Manual you need to shake your hand back and forth about 1000 times per minute. Gillette will be hearing from my lawyers.
I've already sent a test unit to TAD for testing.

Hey! Thanks for the link. I hope you enjoyed my beautiful pictures. :D
I'm pissed though. Even with the $2 off coupon, a set of 4 cartridges still costs $10.
That's NUTS!

In the UK Gillette are working on their next model; the Quintippio, with 15 extra large blades! www.quintippio.co.uk
Hilarious!

I tried the Fusion and went back to the Mach 3. The Fusion caused really BAD ingrown hairs. It took 3 weeks to get my face cleaned up!

I'm not going to spend the money on replacement blades when my Mach 3 does just as good a job. Bigger is not always better!

Whils digging around the Internet for various hilarious sites, we found this one. 15 blades... are you kidding? You would just have to hold it up and think 'shave', and viola!
I mean, since the dawn of civilisation we've got by with a sharp knife and some perfumed oil - if we're lucky. What the hell?! This is consumer madness!

Tried using the new blade on my pubes. I am now a eunuch.
