I haven't seen any comment on the "new" Gillette Breeze here though. It consist of a huge lubricating, uh, spunge at either ends of the blades. Including lubricating strip before and after the blades. WHAT is the point of having a lubricating strip AND SPONGE after you've passed the area?

Or, better yet (or more amusingly, you be the judge) a handle that was filled with whatever goo you were using, and you squeezed it out slightly as you shaved to keep the entire cartridge lubricated.

Or maybe they'll put a "microbrush" on the front to "really help lather" before the blades come.

Maybe I'm a marketing genius.

Didn't Norelco do this with their electrics? I'm pretty sure they had a razor that had a goop dispenser built in.

The fusion is an excellent razor, it's the continuing upkeep, blade replacement that kills you. Aside from the it's shaves excellent

I have two telephones in my home.......both were made in Chicago in 1941.

I used cordless, plastic, pieces of crap for 20 years before I finally got tired of replacing my Chinese made phones every couple of years.

Now I am tethered when I get a phone call and have to take the time to spin the rotary when making an outgoing

, but I hear beautiful brass bells ringing when a call comes in and.....I am using incredibly well constructed, American made products built to last a life time whenever I talk on the phone....with receivers weighty enough to immobilize home invaders.

As for the being tethered thing.......if you have me on the phone for more than 5 minutes you just got me for 3 minutes longer than most folks!

Sometimes New and Improved is only.........New.
