April 18 (Reuters) - Procter & Gamble Co is planning to offer a new kind of razor, with a swiveling ball hinge and a pricey tag, to move forward with its strategy to push premium products, according to the Wall Street Journal on Friday .
The world's largest household products maker has seen sales of its Gillette razors suffer a hit in the fourth quarter of 2013 from the growing trend of sporting moustaches and stubble.

I find that any razor I use which has more than 2 blades has a greater propensity to cut and leave marks. I use cheap 2 blade Schtick’s.
Can’t imagine this. I buy the generic “for sensitive skin” throwaway razors at Wally World. Do a good job.
Dollar shave club is pretty good and should be pulling the price downward. Maybe the response is a higher prices alternative that shifts demand.
So, I’m axing....just why don’t these guys just produce a No-no hair eradicator that works on a man’s beard.
I mean, apparently all the stigma of being a p@ssy, er uh, excuse me, metrosexual —— no, no...that ain’t right, either. A man who likes his forearm and chest to feel like they’ve just had a fresh wax.....dammit! That ain’t it, either. As bald assed as a baby? Nope, that ain’t it, either....
Hell, I just give up. I shave once a week, maybe. I use some old Braun electric shaver I’ve had for 20 years. Smooth, soft? I don’t give a crap...I just shave when the man-stubble irritates me.
All you manginas out there need to get a grip. [Not directed to you, Red in Blue PA]
I’m 60. I got a free multi-blade razor in the mail once with the idea that I’d buy their blades. I used the original blade for three years and it is one of the items that somehow got lost in the divorce.
But I mainly just use a norelco electric I get at costco and replace it every ten years or so...
A traditional wet shave is the best. That trend is coming back. For some, it never left.
Norelco = Braun
Dollar shave club - I love that guy’s advert!
Cletus does a brih-hog 3x/week with his Norelco.
I get new blade sets annually.
I usually use “Romney-Shave”* to relieve the obligatory “shaver bites” to a minimum.
* Google it; “Lectric Shave”
I consciously avoid products which have multi-million dollar representatives such as Roger Federer. Nothing against him personally, but that is simply a waste of money and I know my dollars are going into his pocket so why bother?
That must be better....it has a higher number!/s
what happened to the foam brush?
what happened to the ELECTRIC razor?
what happened to the invetigations over blade price fixing?
Egads! I need an editor.
Note from my previous post “brih-hog” is intended to be “brush-hog”

P&G blades seems to get dull quicker than others I have used. Would love to see someone quantify that in a study.
