There are now 2 Fusion Power users in the office.

The most recent convert,bought one this week with a free memory stick!!!

Today I bought my '66 slim in to work with a brush and DVH soap to show them the error of their ways.

The youth who has had a Fusion for a while started ranting:

"What's that?"

"That's ridiculous!!!"

"That's rubbish"

I say: "Why, because it's proper engineering and not plastic?"

He then says: "What do you do with that?"

I reply: "Shave with it every day"

He replies: "But where are the protection bars to stop you getting cut?"

I tell him that his technique must be rubbish

He looks at the soap and says "That's for old men, I use Fusion Gel"

I feel a bit uneasy about working with blokes who use gel with vibrating devices

Beati pauperes spiritu! I guess he is not eligible for conversion.

Pagans! If you like, I can come over and knock them into submission with my Merkur Vision...

Seriously, converting folks is very difficult. FI, I generously donated a Merkur, brush and VGH soap to a good friend, but now he's using WS blue bowl, although I told him to get some DR Harris instead (not a money issue).

I, however, wil NEVER go back!
Keep the faith...

Keep the faith indeed :biggrin:

Frederik,

They'd be terrified

With regard to the WS blue, at least he's still using a brush and soap..........

Even though we both know how good the VGH is

Your dealing with young men who believe if it's on TV it must be true. Did you suggest he visit B&B as well as turning him on to Mantic's videos?

The most vociferous pagan is 33

The most recent pagan is 56

The end is nigh

That is a frightening statement. Probably true too! :out:

He thinks you're nuts, you think he's nuts ... which one of you has tried it both ways??

Next you should show up with an 8/8 Wade & Butcher meat chopper and see what they think!

I say you blow their houses up.

But seriously, it is true that folks who scoff have never tried it, while most of us have tried the cartridges...so we speak from experience, they speak from amrketing hype (and fear of the blade...muhahahaha)

OldSchoolYoungin · Sep 7, 2007

Ignorance is bliss. The most recent comment I got was, "What year are you living in?" followed by, "...every man in the 21st century deserves more than one blade!". Too bad, my face looks 10x better than yours, chief.

Come on guys, we're forgetting something here:

The Gillette Energon Power Phantom Fusion Excelsior was created by the miracle of fusion, a revolutionary technology and a unique idea, using both blue and red plasma accelerators (which pill you gonna take now Neo?!).

Notice, that unlike other previous revolutionary technologies which lacked a unique idea, this one was developed with a unique idea to boot! You can't go wrong.

See, the lad at your office has definitive proof that his techmology is vastly superior to our primitive iron age implements.

Help keep the price of vintage razors modest, stop proseletyzing! :sneaky2:

When I was young there was a commercial with a roller coaster plowing through a giant wall of shaving foam. :lol:

There's a quote on that ad I like "Until now, pressure has caused irritation."

So the Fusion won't shave without pressure?

All my DE's and straights do...

Hmm, I'm going to see if I can find one with a free memory stick. No harm in trying one is there? BTW; What do these things cost??
