I tried out the Gillette M3Power razor this morning. It's the razor with the battery inside that makes it vibrate in a rather useful kind of fashion. I'm undecided if it's really the best a man can get.

For a start, it's a noisy little bugger. It also, rather obviously, vibrates. Both of these traits mask out 2 of the more important factors when shaving. First, I like to "hear" the stubble being cut. It means that I'm on the right track. Second, I like to "feel" the stubble being cut. It also means I'm on the right track.

Shaving is already a shitty job. I can't really decide if I should put the effort into learning to use this new tool because it shaves better. Or alternatively, I toss it in the trash and label it as an evil marketing ploy rather than a real step forward in shaving technology.

Looks like clouds are "in" today. These cirrus clouds were hanging around for a little while yesterday while we basked in the late afternoon sunshine on our deck.

At what stage do the supermarkets have to drop a product (that we probably actually need) off the shelf so they can make room the latest money making crap? Its definately a evil marketing ploy. Razors shouldnt vibrate, just like toothbrushes dont need computers.

Supermarkets don't drop products. That's why they get bigger every year and why the trolleys also grow. It's so we can keep bringing their shit home with us!

Interesting, as I was having this discussion on these new fandagled devices yesterday after ignoring them at the supermarket, dismissing them as a marketing ploy. The person I talked to said it was the closest and smoothest shave he had had...I look forward to your verdict.

You fail to mention the razor was in fact free, a promo giveaway. I'm undecided too, but as I'm too lazy to shave anyway (hence the beard), anything free to shave the remaining 20% is fine by me.

I don't much care for over-hyped shaving products but I do love this photo. Beautiful and simple.
