16-pack: Schick Xtreme3 Disposable Razors (Unboxed)

  • Your choice of 3 different 16-packs of Schick razors, all of which are Xtreme (in assorted Xtreme colors)
  • Here’s how Xtreme they are: they’re just loose in the box, not contained or held back by traditional packaging. Xtreme freedom
  • The “Sensitive” is a women’s razor, the “Ultimate” and “Refresh” are men’s (if you couldn’t tell from the heteronormative names and colors)
  • The “Ultimate” men’s razor has 50% more lubricant and flexible blades
  • The “Refresh” one has blades that pivot to facial contours, and a scented handle
  • Want to make sure you caught that – it has a *scented handle. What’s it scented like? Nobody knows. There’s only one way to find out …
  • Model: None (Just the names of the razors themselves, as though that were somehow enough information to identify them. Pshaw)

@sam
hey @dave, what’s the deal with the razors on Sunday? one is a women’s razor, but what’s the difference between the two men’s razors?
@dave
Hmm, lemme check.
@dave
OK so the “ultimate” ones have 50% more lubricant and flexible blades. the “refresh” one has blades that pivot to facial contours, and a scented handle.
@sam
OK cool
@sam
wait … scented handle??
@dave
Yeah I dunno. you could make the writeup about how we’re reducing the “paradox of choice” for men who are overwhelmed by all the options on the market. have you read that book? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice
@sam
no but i just read the wikipedia page on it so i’m good. so you’re thinking the writeup should be about how we’re eliminating choices because everyone should obviously buy the razor with a scented handle?
@dave
Umm, yeah you could do that but I mean more that we’re only giving them 2 options instead of the hundreds of different options on the market.
@sam
ohh i get it. so you think we’re writing from an alternate universe in which all razor handles are scented and so the non-scented one stands out, thereby eliminating the paradox of choice.
@sam
should be able to bang that out pretty quick
@dave
Wait … hmm. I’m not sure we should make the whole writeup about the scented handles. Not sure it’s that important.
@sam
haha I get it. good one
@dave
??
@sam
you’re doing a bit where you’re pretending that you’re in the alternate universe where all razors have scented handles. cuz obviously the entire writeup is going to be about that.
@sam
what do you think they even smell like? i’m looking at the Amazon page and it just says “scented handles.” you think it’s like, cologne? i mean it could literally be scented like anything. maybe it’s like those smelly markers we had as kids – some of them smell like cherry, some like black licorice, etc. or it could smell really gross – who knows!
@sam
this is all gold. writeup’s gonna be great. trying to think of a punny title on “scented handle” having to do with “scented candles” but can’t think of anything. any ideas?
@dave
Sorry, was in a meeting. So you are making it all about the scented candles? Thought we were moving in a different direction. Maybe you could talk about how this reduces the difficulty of choosing between them because you won’t want the smelly handled one…
@sam
*will
@dave
What?
@sam
think you meant to write “because you will want the smelly handled one”
@dave
No. You were saying the handle might smell gross …
@sam
yup
@dave
So obviously you wouldn’t want to buy that.
@sam
you would though
@dave
Why??
@sam
because how often do you have the opportunity to buy something this weird? you could hand them out as party favors or something. everyone would love to get foul-smelling razors
@dave
Maybe your friends would. But not me.
@sam
So … you’re saying you’re not my friend?
@sam
:’(
@dave
No
@sam
do you mean ‘no’ like you’re not NOT my friend, or ‘no’ like you’re not my friend?
@dave
Let me know when you finish that writeup. What’s taking so long?
