Gillette gold and diamond crusted Fusion razors

**JeffE** · 08-07-2012, 05:37 PM

These are the razors that Gillette just gave to gold-medal winner Ryan Lochte. Nice looking handles, but couldn't they have come up with a nice British Aristocrat or something similar? Oh well, maybe next Olympics.

Wow.
I wonder what brush handle would match best with that combo?

**Leopold Bloom** · 08-07-2012, 05:44 PM

I'll be honest, they do nothing for me.

Those razors remind me of those faux jewelery encrusted iphone covers you find at obscure strip malls.

Imagine the possibiliy if Lochte was a wet shaver :-)

What cost more, the gold and Jewels or the two cartridges that came with it?

**KodiakAttack** · 08-07-2012, 06:17 PM

That kinda makes me want to throw up a little. *Eeeuahhhh*

Lipstick on a hog...just sayin'.

My wife showed me this picture. All I could think of was the little diamonds going down the drain.

Yeah, and he needs a gold tooth to go with it.

Somebody was tweakin with a bedazzler

Carry them straight to eBay and buy a real razor.

I love how Gillette adds the gold and diamond bling but then KEEPS all of the cheap, black plastic bits from the regular model. I mean, if you're going to go all out for an Olympic gold-medal winner (and future spokesperson), why not machine the whole razor out of stainless steel or something cool like that.

Shoot, if they had a 100% stainless version, even I'd consider buying one. But no, they just take the cheap plastic version and dip it in gold leaf and diamonds. Yuck.

I bet it never gets used, and the battery corrodes inside and ruins the whole thing. Way to go Gillette.

What if it were 'replated' with rhodium...would that be more enticing?

Yea, rhodium plated black plastic -- all sparkly and metallic, and when you pick up, the thing weighs about 3 grams. Sounds awesome!

**Senetsomed** · 08-07-2012, 07:28 PM

They were given as some sort of reward?

Jesus, they are horrible.

**celestino** · 08-07-2012, 07:54 PM

Wow, Jeff, that is such a shame and a waste of money! i have to agree with you that an Aristocrat would have been much better, but that would have contravened their policy with making profit. Hee hee.
