You don’t alienate and stereotype your entire consumer base to milk the #metoo movement.
Especially if you’re wealthy greedy faceless corporation that overcharges for their products.
My biggest issue with Gillette is that I don't feel like letting them rip me off by selling plastic razor catridges for $3.00 to $4.00 per refill cartridge:
Gillette has been getting over on consumers for years with the huge margins that they make on their cartridge refills. That is their real cash cow. They will practically give the razors themselves away for nothing because the cartridge refills are the real business.
I dumped Gillette a number of years ago once I tried a double-edge safety razor and realized how cheap the blades were and how bad Gillette was ripping us all off. You can buy a double-edge safety razor, keep it for years and years and get just as good of a shave and get 100 refill blades for $10.00 to $15.00, depending on the brand: https://www.walmart.com/ip/astra-pla...-x-5/903179296
Gillette is a prime example of an inferior product being sold at a much higher price and making huge amounts of money just based on really good marketing & advertising. Every aspect of Gillette's cartridge-based razors are inferior to double-edge safety razors.
Need an ad for women telling them not to make fake rape accusations...Maybelline could do it..."Maybe its Maybelline. Or Maybe its Make Believe."
Or Gillete could do one telling black men not to be violent criminals and stop murdering other black men...A black guy could carjack a person, and another black man could stop him, and say "Not cool, Deshaun". Or show a drive by shooting where when the black guy pulls a gun in the car and aims it at a couole of black guys in front of a house, his black friend in the car stops him and says,"thats not how we treat others Tyrell"
Or they could do one telling Muslims not to be terrorists. A Muslim could be planting a bomb in a subway station, and another Muslim comes up and says " We don't do this anymore, Abood"
It would be the exact same thing. Demonizing a group using stereotypes, and virtue signaling.

Ad or no ad, that right there is really good advice. (Except I prefer 7 AM Platinum over Astra, but if there was ever an area where opinions differ...) And you get the daily joy of using a quality implement, not a piece of streamlined plastic.

I remember my dad using these razors. Just ordered some on Amazon. Double bonus if I like them. No more disposable razors and my wife would probably never us them.

There's a learning curve, but once you have the knack...
This is the [w]ussification of the American male. Another attempt to suck the testosterone right out of 'em. Pretty soon, we'll be like Sweden and Germany, where soft males can't even protect their women.
Newsflash: We strong women who BELONG in the boardroom, would know how to address a male (or female) colleague who attempted to speak for us. And I would be capable of keeping my man and sons in line if that were necessary.
Memo to Gillette: Stick to your business. You can start by addressing the fact that the women's Venus razor sells for 8 bucks more than the men's handle--okay?
Memo to men: We strong women like strong men. Keep grilling. And keep being men.
