Gillette Flexball Release

How do you think it will fare? It doesn't make sense to add a ball... I feel like it's more cosmetic. There's more potential with a DE.

 

Garbage. Just like everything else Gillette peddles nowadays.

 

I told my wife I was thinking about getting one to review it.... ... ... the glare I got in return was enough.

 

where's the vibrating headlight foam dispenser and auto-exfoliator?

 

Those are options - an extra buck-two-ninetyeight.

 

Ah. It's all about the options.

 

We need to Sue. That picture leads me to think I need to use it in a side to side motion.

 

It may well be little more than a gimmick but I don't see any particular reason why that shouldn't appeal to the general public. The classic Gillette one piece razors, so-called TTO or turn-to-open have always seemed to me to represent little more than a marketing gimmick inasmuch as the design didn't provide any improvement in terms of the quality of shave over the previous 3 piece designs, and was initially marketed as simply being easier to load, which to my mind is really just a gimmick. But they were immediately popular with consumers and remain a very popular choice to this day.

 

Garbage. Just like everything Gillette has always peddled.

 

But...but...but.... it's a limited edition preview!

 

Everything? Always? Even their DEs?

 

I believe....We have a SE man there.

 

Almost

 

Yep. Every new razor produced by every company in the last decade has been a gimmick designed to be an improvement over the last one.

That looks familiar.

 

One could epoxy the head in place while it's cocked off to one side. Voila! it's a slant.

Not saying it'd be worth doing.

 

A multi-blade slant? Now that's the thing that nightmares are made of.

 

Gillette got seriously confused! When we said "Old School" we meant DEs (Techs, Super Speeds, Fat Boy, Slims ...) but when they did a Internet search here was what they landed on with the term "Old School" and so a new Fusion was born!

​

 

The sad thing is that I remember when that was new. /cry

 

True! I was "Old School" before the School was Old and dirt was reformulated for the marketers to sell more soap suds!

 

Ah, I'm just a bit younger than you, then. I was brought up with the new dirt.
