Talk:Gillette Fusion

This article doesnt seem to be written from a neutral POV. I'm not an expert but if anybody could clean this up....

TV commercial (satire)
according to the TV add, Gillette's scientists have finally harnessed the power of fusion and used it to............add a fifth razor blade. -- Bubbachuck 23:12, 3 January 2007 (UT
 * I have to profess to a degree of amusement that to illustrate the Fusion, they use the metaphor of a particle accelerator - a device used for fission. ;-) Kinitawowi 09:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

The commercials also claim that the design of the razor holds 20 different patents...

R&D Cost
I've added a sentence on the R&D costs of Fusion I saw in an old BusinessWeek article, mentioning the costs as "slightly less than the $680 million it spent on Mach3". However, the Mach3 page indicates it cost over $750m. I suppose it depends what does and doesn't get included in the budget, eg. initial marketing costs, coupled with the activation of Gillette's mighty hyperbole generator. I'll also say that although $680m sounds a lot for "adding an extra blade", it probably includes the cost of a lot of bluesky research in different directions; a lot of trials; new factories capable of producing billions of blades a year; and a global advertising campaign. Still a bit ridiculous, though. --Gid (talk) 13:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal
This article is obviously a stub, and in my opinion the razor doesn't deserve its own article. I'm recommending that it be merged with Global Gillette, which already has a blurb of comparable size to this article. -TVK (talk) 03:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
