Yes, we’ve all heard the # blade jokes
The Gilette Fusion is a waste of money. It offers no real advantage over the Schick Quattro, other than the single blade on the back of the head. In terms of “Shaving Excellence”, 5 blades aren’t better than 4. You’d figure since you’re paying a gajillion dollars for the blades, they’d be awesomer, but they’re not. I still have to make as many passes as I did with the Quattro. And I still don’t get a better shave. I don’t think I’ll ever experience a truly clean shave unless I try one of those old timey straight razors or those “safety” razors that use razorblades. But you see, I’m not crazy. I’d never try those razors. I’ll gladly pay the $$$ to Gilette and Schick if it means I don’t need a blood transfusion every other day.
Oh how I envy those guys who can shave once a week.

Today I was given a RAV-4 as my loaner car. It was okay…I’m so used to an SUV and it definately drives like a car. It feels really light to me, which is good because it has zip. My 4runner feels more muscle-y (if that can even be a word). All-in-all, I liked it. Two thumbs up.

Okay…well I have mixed feelings now. After I got my 4Runner back, I could tell the difference. However, it drives a lot like the highlander and that was one of my second picks for a new car. I can’t get over the car/SUV difference. However, one GREAT point for me is the gas mileage of the RAV4…it was amazing. I didn’t even have to refuel the loaner car before turning it in! the 4Runner sucks gas.

Well that /sounds/ plausible. Yea currently I get 24-25mpg, which is more than the Taurus ever got.

Sorry for the mixed reviews…I guess it all depends on my mood at the time. I think that Toyotas overall are pretty damn good cars (so far!).
