To promote its new electric razor that automatically dispenses Nivea cream while using the razor, Phillips, has launched an ad, created by Tribal DDB, in the UK which pokes fun at the razor wars with a freakish razor called the Quintippio, a 15-bladed razor that’s so large it would be impossible to use. Funny. And not far off the mark. After all, if Gillette and Schick already have four blades, what’s to stop them from one-upping to five, then six, then…well…insanity.
