Schick Quattro Razor, with Trimmer Thing..
Okay, so I finally went to my Seminary PO Box and picked up the Schick Quattro Razor that I mentioned earlier in my blog.
Yup, it's a fine razor. Basically a regular Schick Quattro with an Electric Trimmer on the end, in case you want to keep your sideburns sharp (or possibly trim hair 'elsewhere').
I thought for a while about blogging about how horrible the razor was, or how I planned to use it to kill myself, or something else that would be insulting and "funny" - but then thought that it might be a bit ungrateful to accept free loot and then say "up yours" to the guys who sent it to me.
I read in William Gibson's Pattern Recognition that people now go to parties with the express intention of mentioning products: all to generate buzz. Given the fact that advertising is the dominant form of communication in our culture, it seems only appropriate that we no longer "work in", but actually become, advertising.
Now I'm off to Schick my head, in preparation for the skinhead rally.
