Exactly What Are You Supposed To Shave With These Anyway?

[jamesq]

I was at CostCo this weekend when I saw the men's version of this. Later, I saw a commercial for this. That's when I thought "Hey, that's not really a razor - it's a vibrator for people who are embarrassed to own a vibrator". Mark Morford, as usual, put it all into perspective.

A few thoughts on this:
1) As a razor, it's the dumbest idea I've ever seen - it pretty much guarantees a difficult shave.
2) It's marketing brilliance.

Something like 20% of all women own a vibrator. This statistic astonishes me because my guess for ownership among the women I know is closer to 100%. Frankly if any woman reading this blog says they don't own one, I'd be shocked. What is wrong with that other 80%? I guess my contemporaries are keeping the average up for all the Mormons.

From Mach 3 to vibrator? Isn't that a stretch?

In the Mach 3, the vibe is in the razor end. In the Venus, the vibe is at the base of the handle. So if the point of this exercise is to make a closer shave, shouldn't they be designed the same? What possible reason could you have for making the handle vibrate?
