It just looks gimmicky if you ask me. Dread to think on the price of the carts

Uses the same carts as the previous model, Fusion I think. so around $30 for 8 carts
I just saw June 9th it will be widely available.
My thoughts on this new razor? RIDICULOUSLY STUPID.
It has an articulated ball, so you don't have to use your naturally articulating wrist.
LOL! Too bad Gillette no longer utilizes articulated brainpower.
I am waiting for a razor that eliminates the need for opposable thumbs.
Marketed to well-groomed dogs.
Likewise.
I wish they put all that brain power in to making blades that last as long as they claim a blade lasts.
I get three good shaves out of a cart and then its all bad.

They could, but why would they? They make their money on repeat sales of carts.
Basically a "Dyson"razor. Haven't tried it. Saw the demo display at AOS. Seems gimmicky to me.
West Coast Shaving has them in UK packaging for that price.
Just a preview of the mania going on. These are supposed to be back in stock at my Wal-Mart next week, and also on sale for $7.00 during the promotional time. However, I went to the store looking for something useful to help me start wet-shaving. They don't carry a single product for wet-shaving, it turns out.....but they DO have half a section dedicated to the new,...future of shaving?
Because now they make no money from me at all, I would never have gone on to DE shaving if carts were not so expensive and the blades dull so quickly.
Ok I'm no hill of beans to Gillette but still, more people are looking for alternatives.
Seems that way, we now have over 50K members so something must be happening.
Somehow this razor came into conversation a couple of times at work now, and last night one of the Security Guards asked me "So what's this 'antique shaving' thing you do all about?". MAYBE Gillette is about to put their customers slowly into reverse?
