A bit of an advertisement

newschickI got my tax return yesterday and decided to go on a mini spending spree at Shoppers Drug Mart. I got some basic staples, but the one luxury item I bought was a new razor. I'd seen an ad in some fashion magazine at my sister's place last week - it's called Intuition by Schick, and it's got a big moisturizing bar around the razor blades, so you don't have to use shaving cream or soap. The ad said it was reminiscent of pretend-shaving when you were little, just dragging a bar of soap along your legs. When I read the ad I was skeptical at best, figuring it was just another razor, nothing special. But my curiosity got the best of me and I bought it anyway.
THE GOOD
I tried it out this morning and was amazed. It does feel exactly like you're just rubbing a bar of soap on your legs. For a minute I wasn't even sure I was actually shaving until I knicked myself. It was probably the quickest and easiest shave I've ever had. My legs are totally smooth and silky and feel fantastic.
THE BAD
There is a downside though - the moisturizing bar was about half gone by the time I finished shaving. Two shaves per razor? For the price - $9.99(Cdn) for either the whole razor with one extra blade, or for a package of 3 replacement blades - it hardly seems worth it.
THE UGLY
Well ok, it's not really ugly, but I had to keep up the theme. The razor comes in a clear plastic packaging with a brief product description on the back. The razor itself is quite bulky, but shaped to fit nicely in your hand. The handle is white plastic with blue rubber grips on the front and back. The package comes with the razor itself, one spare blade/moisture bar, and a suction cup hook to hang in the shower.

I think the ferris wheel idea will look absolutely terrible. What kind of activities will be going on at this fair?
