LOL, I tried multiple times, but realized for some reason it was putting me into the video at the point where the ad in the last seconds appears.

But I was able to manually set it to the beginning and watch it.

I thought it was very good. Thanks for posting it. After watching that finger wagging piece of crap from Gillette...it was refreshing.

Gillette is dead to me.

It is my opinion that as conservatives, we would value individual choices and actions.

And that comes to boycotts too. I don’t purchase from General Mills, Coca Cola, Target, JC Penney, Dicks Sporting Goods, Nike, and Bank of America (with whom I had my money with for the last 40 years, and just closed my accounts through which hundreds of thousands or more of my hard earned wages have passed) because I disagree with their activism.

I don’t listen to Pink Floyd anymore or knowingly watch movies with Samuel L. Jackson, Barbara Streisand, or Robert DeNiro.

I don’t watch television except for an occasional sporting event.

But even with all those things, those are MY choices made in the context of MY life. I don’t project them on others, denigrate them, or pass judgement on them if they don’t toe MY line of values. It is their life and their private business.

I use Apple products which is the target of conservatives for their support of Social Justice causes. I watch NFL football and am attacked for doing so because individual players kneeled during a football game. But in many cases the same people who criticize me for using Apple products or watching the NFL because they support leftist causes, have no problem using products by Microsoft, but Microsoft through direct donations and employee matching funds to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has given far, FAR more to anti-American leftist causes (with REAL money and support, not just expressions of solidarity) than Apple or the NFL combined.

But I don’t criticize them for that. Were that it was a two way street, which I see as a conservative value. What people do with their time, money, and effort is their business as long as they are not affecting me directly.

It’s a single razor and the cartridge is now getting dull. I certainly won’t buy a refill, so might as well send it to them to make a point.

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.

NOT COOL!

I've been using these for a while now. They sell them at the military exchanges but you can find them elsewhere. I like the handles better and the blades are dirt cheap and just as good as Mach 3. They also come in a 5 blade version.

And best of all, no virtue signaling.

No, I am self employed. I’m not a snowflake who needs a pacifier every time some dork makes a stupid statement or takes a dumb position.

Wow, tough guy. I’m very impressed. Of course, you could be a 12-year-old girl. But you just keep being you. Because even though no one here has a clue, I’m sure you’ve convinced yourself that you are one bad ass dude.

They knew this is what the reaction would be. It’s what they wanted, attention.

Normally you never talk much about razors, now people are talking. Want to crush them? Ignore them.

Looks like Gillette’s marketing department came up with a real winner......

Heck, even bulk store brands are a sharper shave than Gillette.

I just opened a pack of Gillette blades costing about 3/$8 and they were useless. Dull as a 2x4.

A single bladed store brand razor for about 25 cents did the trick just fine.

Bic five pack throw aways are the best. One razor can last for five or six shaves. And they have a manly handle.
