OMG. Somebody has created this.
It reminds me of the 2-bladed, then 3-bladed, and now 5-bladed razor, the latter of which was famously spoofed by the Onion (caution: bad language), only to have Gillette actually bring it out the next year. (Both Saturday Night Live, in 1975, and Mad Magazine, in 1979, had the idea first.)

Hey, don’t laugh! This is actually very cool. My dad always says that while you can skimp on a lot of things in life, the one thing that you don’t want to skimp on is toilet paper.

Actually, there was a prediction of a 16 bladed razor two decades ago. http://economics.com.au/?p=73

Maybe, Stuart, but having once had a very unpleasant experience with sewer pipes and “wet wipes” for the kiddies that weren’t as safe for the pipes as I’d been led to believe, the only thing I care about is how well the product breaks down . . .
