Recently, my wife got a free sample of the Schick (sp?) straight razor that has four blades on it. After using it a couple of times, I have to make the following comment. I'm not sure what their aim was, but to me, this razor doesn't do any better than my razor with only two blades, . . . AND it almost seems to pull/hurt more. It isn't any quicker either. I wonder why they decided to have all those blades when two works just fine.
