I have no doubt it plays well< in certain parts of the country. Then again, those are likely the parts of the country where they wouldn't understand just what a true man is - much less what's expected of them.

No, I made a GUESS what this particular company based its ad on ( their targeted audience.) After all their ultimate goal is to sell, and sometimes their strategy to achieve this goal can be a winner or a total downer.

Far superior to Gillette at a fraction of the price. Actually, best razor I've ever used.

What I haven't yet found, though, is a good quality replacement for Gillette's Foamy Shaving Cream. Unless they've improved it recently, Barbasol is dry, thin in texture, and inferior to Foamy. So is Wal-Mart's equate.
Try shaving gel..... Once you try the gel you never go back to shaving cream. It comes in a tube, lasts longer, costs less and cleans up easier.

I buy nothing by choice from Walmart. There are plenty of alternatives. Now I live in another country and my eyes were opened by all the choices for a very reasonable price. I won't give names for any products, lol let them pay for advertising.

I tried shaving gel years ago....went right back to shaving cream, thank you.

Wal-Mart is a huge store chocked full of alternatives for a very reasonable price. Their disposable razors are one of many examples. That's why so many people shop there.

Most advertising is obnoxious. Many much prefer personal recommendations.

So Texas rednecks and their women who shop at Walmart don't care for ads about men behaving in a civilized manner.

What a shock.

I tried gel way back too...and prefer Barbasol shave cream...it's only a buck or so and doesn't clog up the razor like gel does!

Another example of elites trying to tell the vast majority of people how we should behave. What a surprise.
