Description: Transcription: - It's sort of like getting on a good riding horse 0:00 after having ridden a mule. 0:05 I get 21 shaves out of the Personna blade 0:08 and only about four or five out of the (bleep) blade. 0:12 Narrator That's Personna, 0:16 the exclusive British processed stainless steel blade. 0:17 - I've gone for 21 shaves or let's say three weeks to, 0:20 for the Personna and less than a week for the (bleep). 0:24 Can't beat that in my book. 0:26 - I got 40 shaves with the first blade, 0:27 42 with the second one. 0:30 Clean, comfortable shaves all of them. 0:31 And they get the beard and they don't get your hide. 0:34 Narrator Every edge uncommonly sharp, 0:37 custom wrapped to keep them that way. 0:38 - Well I have been using (bleep). 0:40 But I put that Personna in 0:42 and, my heavens, it lasted two or three weeks. 0:43 That's almost ridiculous. 0:46 Narrator Better than average? Sure. 0:48 But if Personna doesn't give you more luxury shaves, 0:49 more comfort than any other stainless blade, 0:52 we'll buy you (bleep) (bleep) 0:55 or whatever blade you think is better. 0:56
