Call it one of those odd little things that gets my blood pressure up. Walking down the platform at South Station this morning, I saw a Gillette ad for their new Mac 3 "disposable."

Maybe you're thinking the same thing I was: "Huh? I thought Mach 3 razors were already disposable!" Well, yes...but not the handle! Normally you dispose of the razor after a week (or a month in my case; I like cutting my face into ribbons) but keep the handle and affix a new cartridge. Now you can just pitch the whole thing, and doubtlessly add more volume to landfills in the process.

Unless the landfills are already full. Then we need a new open space...Gillette Field, anyone?
