Breaking News - Gillette to release new "vintage" adjustable razors

Heard from a friend of a friend who lives next door to Mr Gillette that Gillette will shortly be releasing a new DE adjustable based on the classic Slim Adjustable.

The "source" confided that it will be endorsed by none other than Mr Marshall Mathers, other wise known as the rap star Eminem.

The idea is that DE blades are cheaper to produce than cartridge blades and also more environmentally friendly, using Eminem will make it appeal to the younger generation of shavers just starting out.




The "source" also confirmed that the model will be marketed under the name Slim Shavey.

Sweet. I would like to see the handle about 3/8" longer, and heavier.

made in china ? made to original specs ? this should be interesting....

Slim Shavey????

Gotta love marketing departments.

Will someone put them out of their misery? Apologies for creating false hopes but I couldn't resist!!!!

Maaaan, you just shouldn't do this.

I heard that it's going to have a dark camouflage finish in black nickel...

It's a joke, malocchio.

The "source" also mentioned a model for the British market with a chunkier handle. It will be unveiled by the erstwhile DJ Norman Cook.

People are already talking about Fatboy Slim!!!! Boom boom

The rumour mill continues.....

Freddie Merkury will be digitally recreated and shown shaving of his moustache.

When I first read it, I wondered if anyone would get the punchline.

As punishment, henceforth you must shave with a wooden spoon.

Yo! If they were going classic, they could have called us!
