I always look to razor commercials for advice on how to behave morally. Doesn’t everybody?

I was at CVS looking to buy shaving cream. There was a sale on Gillette products. I took a look and got angry. I purchased the generic product and it was still cheaper.

I’ve been holding off on switching razor companies despite Gillette’s fantastically overpriced products because of familiarity with them, and laziness.

No more. Never again Gillette unless and until the ad is retracted and a proper apology issued, including removal of those responsible.

Harry’s is an excellent razor. Ditched Gillette years ago. Bic makes excellent disposable products although they are now French owned.

I buy my pink lady razors at the dollar store. Haven’t bought Gillette in years so I can’t boycott them.

Where's the ad so I can post feedback?

Just placed an order with Harry's if you want to check out an alternative.

10 to one is not "split". It's a route - a total and complete PR disaster.

Gillette and whoever foisted this political correct, leftist bull@ on them should be experiencing an absolute nightmare for their idiocy, unless they are truly, and it's possible, too stupid to figure out what went wrong.
