  7. How far back to you think this goes ? I just received two more 50's super speeds today feeding my fire for more shavers ! I can't detect any hidden devices but you never know. Now, you are saying to boycott. Oh, well - maybe I should start buying more Merkurs !!! Yes that is what I will do !

  8. I do find it a bit distasteful that they used my pic for this site.

    Another sound reason for using more antiquated tools for this hobby/necessity/obsession...the only thing watching me choose Mr. Wade and Mr. Butcher for my morning shave is my reflection in the mirror!

    I have actually heard of these RFID chips from others sources in the IT community so this is not really far fetched for me. I have also heard of Gillette's name used in conjunction with these chips from the IT community. I don't buy Gillette products becuase they don't seem to work on me. Not because I am boycotting Gillette in any way, there products don't work on me.

    The RFID tracking is a real thing. But I doubt Gillette uses it for anything besides shipping/inventory tracking. You have to be quite close to a chip to read it, so it's not like they can track where you're going with your new bought Gillette products.

    But in general the concerns about privacy issues in conjunction with RFID chips are valid, IMO. Perhaps not at the moment, but it could easily become a problem.

    I don't think the concern from the link is tracking where consumers go.

    I'm pretty sure it was the RFID would cause pictures to be taken when you pick up a Gillette package, and also again when you pay for the product.

    Personally, I dislike anything RFID. Even tough you need to be "close" and have the correct equipment and can't connect x to y.. It is the fact that it just MAY do all those things, now and, even more so, in the future. The are weaning us to accept this as an emerging technology, but the potential is beyond imagination.

    Sorry for the rant, but I don't like RFID :p
