Closeness: Shaving enthusiasts look for a “BBS” shave-“baby’s butt smooth.” Having changed a lot of diapers in his day, Dan can tell you that that’s a somewhat spurious attribute, but we looked for a close shave without cuts and irritation.Some people will do better with five blades-but these more densely packed blades can clog more easily, and no matter how many blades are in the razor, it has to rinse well. But we’ve done enough testing to believe that you get a quicker, smoother shave from three-blade razors. Multiple blades: One blade is certainly enough to get the job done, and seven is definitely overkill.

A razor handle should maneuver around the contours of your face without you having to twist and angle it too much, and we believe a heavier handle is better, since it offers more control. The patented oscillator design utilizes a new form of synthesis to produce biting leads, glitched-out basses, cinematic pads and everything in between.


Modern multi-blade razors rarely nick or cut, so any razor that consistently did was eliminated. Native Instruments released this teaser video for a new synth, Razor, developed in collaboration with Berlin-based producer Errorsmith.They’re hyping it as a dubstep synth, but it’s a hybrid additive synthesizer with built-in tempo-synced effects. If the razor has a lubricating strip, it shouldn’t turn into a slippery mess.
