What is a man? A response to Gillette.
You nailed it.
Great job!
At about $3 per blade, send them to me. When I'm done using them I'll pass them on to Gillette....
If you are only seeing the anti male part of the ad, you are missing at least half of their message. It’s anti WHITE male.
Of the few sources I would trust to define what it means to be a man, I don’t see Gillette listed anywhere.

Gillette kept trying to up-sell men on 3 and 4 bladed razors for absurd prices. I have been shaving almost 50 years and I don’t think they have ever improved a shave from the original Trac II, fixed head razor. Last year, I got online to search for 2-blade cartridges because twin-blade cartridges were almost impossible to find in retail stores. Personna makes them and Harmon does, too and you can get them on line.
In the process, I went to a wet-shave with a glycerin-based “cream” that comes in a stick dispenser like a stick deodorant. Rub it on your face and work it in with shaving brush and it lathers up quickly and easily. I found that this works better than gel type shave creams, giving you a closer shave. I think it softens the whiskers better and allows the blade to glide closer to the skin because it is thinner than gel.
I know there is the $1 shave club, but I have been getting products from Em’s Place online. Very pleased with the products I have bought from them. Bought a very nice nickel plated razor that holds twin-blade cartridges. Currently, I am the happiest I have ever been with my shaving products, and Gillette now has none of my business. Now, I feel even better about it.
Just like Nike. But it never seems to work.
That’s precisely why they must be crushed. Gillette is a mountain that can be climbed, so it must happen.
Remember Chester Gillette.
I never assumed that the parent company was a viable target. That’s why you have to pick a weaker target. Sun Tzu paraphrased- Attack the enemy where he is weak.
I will not buy anymore Gillette.
That sends a very pointed message to P&G.
Corporations should be politically neutral. It is the natural place for them, at least in internal politics.
I can approve of patriotic corporations.
I emailed Gillette 2 days ago. They PROMISED me a response within 48 hours. We’re coming up on 48 hours. I’m thinking they are either swamped or confused about the situation which makes it all that more delicious.
PandG has used the same ad agency for a long time PandG has been a social “minded” company for a long time. If you find a list of issues they support, it will be very evident. I used to admire the company up to the time they had some kind of money exchange manager go rogue and lose them something like 100MM on currency bets. Something told me there was a disconnect between the top and the bottom wherein some company minion could do that unrecognized or worse blame someone for something some upper echelon type endorsed. Over the past ten or so years, they have been shedding brands. Duracell was one that caught my eye. So, in my mind you have a bunch of SJWs deciding to expand their utopian ideas beyond their workforce into their product lines by way of their ad developers.
Bought a Schick razor. First change for me in 40+ years!
On several people’s advice I bought some “Seventh Generation” detergent yesterday hoping it would replace “Dawn” which gets used for nearly everything around here. It’s cheaper, works as well or better, and I like the lack of perfume. Thanks Gillett! Because of your slander I found a better, cheaper product!
[I’ll mail it back to them and tell them to insert it forcibly where the sun doesn’t shine.]
Why mail it back?? If they’re still good keep using thwem till you run out. They already have your money, you’ll just be crewing yourself over in the end.
When they run out, then buy elsewhere.
When you find a good replacement for Coldwater Tide, please post it. Thanks much.
