Title: I heard it on the grapevine
Post by: Chavster on September 22, 2011, 02:22:30 PM: Apparently, Phillips (called something else in America I think. Noralco?) and Nivea are soon to release a 5-blade razor based on the principle idea for this electric shaver:

A friend of mine works for Gillette and apparently Gillette HQ is buzzing with the news because they feel this new razor will be a major threat to Fusion (in particular) and Mach 3. Apparently the razor handle will have a cartridge filled with a Nivea moisturising/moisturizing product made from glycerine.

Sounds good on the surface of it, but hopefully it'll be better than those ^ electric shavers. I have two of them and I hate them both

Post by: Razor X on September 22, 2011, 03:46:16 PM: They're developing a new electric razor that's supposed to be a threat to the Fusion? I can't really imagine that. Two completely different segments of the market.

Post by: Chavster on September 22, 2011, 03:50:46 PM: They're (apparently) releasing a 5-blade razor (ie, manual hand held razor similar to Mach 3/Fusion/Bic disposable/Venus for Chicks) which is based on the principle idea of that ^ electric shaver, ie it will have a reservoir or cartridge for a moisturizing product.

Imagine: Gillette Fusion ProGlide with a reservoir, or Mach 3 with a reservoir.

Dont imagine: food processor.

OK, I see. I don't think I'll be buying one, though.

I like the idea of it though, so if it does hit the supermarket shelves, I'd definitely buy one. It can keep all my others company :D
