Original Title: TIL that in 1975, after Gillette introduced a two-blade cartridge razor, Saturday Night Live aired a fake commercial for a three-blade razor. Gillette introduced one in 1998. In 2004, a satirical article in The Onion introduced a fictional five-blade razor. A real five-blade razor came out in 2006.

    I like Leaf razors. Less expensive than Harry’s after you buy the handles, and there’s no plastic packaging anywhere. And the refills are cheap (and were even cheaper) until Trump screwed up the economy. It can take any single edge razors, it’s not proprietary.

    There’s three blade and single blade variants for your face or body. Both work great. (Just a heads up, you don’t have to tighten the shit out of the screw on the back of the razor)
