I think this is a really neat (small) study of how a product makes it to market. Truth is, I would probably buy this razor if I could, I dont need a 97 blade extravaganza I just want something to scrape the extra hair off my face.
As far as using Indian students from MIT - thats a neat way of trying to lower development costs, while still targeting the specific needs to the ethnic group targeted. It didn't work perfectly, because it couldnt test for local use cases, but its still a neat start.

- Aloha 13y agoYeah, the product discussed in the article is safer than a safety razor - that was part of the point.
- KC8ZKF 13y agoSorry. I thought you wanted something just to scrape the extra hair off your face.
- jccalhoun 13y agoAllegedly. I wouldn't trust this article as proof of anything.
- Moto7451 13y agoCartridge razors are safer only when installing the blades. The cutting surfaces of single blade cartridge razors and DE razors are largely the same. Single edge and injector razor designs were answers to the same problem. More importantly to Gillette, however, is that they control the patents on each new cartridge design they come up with. The patents on DE razors are long expired. As such you must use OEM or licensed blades in your Gillette Fusion but I can use any blade in my Gillette Super Speed.
