With the announcement of a ten-bladed electric razor, Doc and I are in agreement: this madness must end. The razor arms race is getting way out of control. The former Soviet Union alone is rumored to have hundreds of thousands of eight-bladed electric razor prototypes, of which thousands are unaccounted for. Now this.
Look, folks: humanity isn’t ready for this. We’ve got to stop this mad escalation of blades before we wipe ourselves right off the map. I’m sure, if we ever survive this blade-overkill section of our history, we’ll make it to alien worlds and find remains of stupendous, jaw-dropping alien civlizations…and find a thirty-bladed monstrosity the size of a 3×5 card clutched in one strangely-shaped appendage. Perfectly preserved, because it was made of aggregated carbon nanorods.
If this doesn’t stop–and soon–then we should all just make peace with our gods.

The SNL repeat that aired last night with Buck Henry had a sendup of the new-at-the-time twin bladed razors. Their over the top comeback? A triple bladed razor, “because you’ll believe anything.”
