Gillette says men need to shave off their toxic masculinity

Women probably go through razors more then men nowadays, shaving two legs and a vag is definitely more to mow. Plus, beards are kinda a thing now, I don’t know many who still do the daily morning shave.
I keep my beard in check with an electric trimmer and a straight razor. I think I went through 3 of those Mach whatever blades last year.
 
They are capitalizing on the now passing #MeToo movement. All due respect to any woman who has been mistreated, they aught to see that this is simply a ploy to sell more razors. Gillette doesn't give two flips about men or women. They care about $$$$.
 
I'll continue to do my thinking for myself. And as for shaving, when I shave I start with a straight-razor. I haven't used one in 'some-years-now' as My Lady prefers me with a beard. She trims it with clippers and scissors though, to how she wants me to look.

And I'm perfectly good with that. I'd much rather her do it, than a barber. And if I do it, I can get 'yelled at'... haaaaaaaaaa

Wilkinson Sword's in my safety-razor. Never liked gillette, as they go dull too fast for me.

Sell your shit to the gender confused.

I'm going back to my straight razor.

This. I have always used a straight razor. Got that habit from my grand uncle. Almost all males in northern China keeps to the old ways. Heck, the demographics are almost 90% blue collar roughnecks.

Dixie Gun Works sold really good straight razors and I think they still do right now. Just ordered a 2019 catalog from them, waiting on it any moment now. The ones I had been using for years are made by local Amish craftsmen from Kidron, OH. Everything that comes from there are superb examples of art and functionality and are built to last. Especially the furniture.
 
My genetics only allow me to grow a Joe Dirt beard, so I have to shave!

I've been using a Merkur safety razor for a few years now - better shave and a heck of a lot cheaper.
 
Probably, they don't give a shit about men right now. They are going after the women's demographic with this ad.

Ah yes I remember it now, the Dicks Sporting Goods marketing strategy.
Piss off and turn your back on a huge portion of your base to play into a different demographic that's hip in the moment.
 
FWIW - Gillette lowered their prices for the first time in years, because year-to-year sales were falling off. Me thinks they took this position to boost sales. Time will tell if this gamble work for them.
 
I have mixed feelings about this ad.

1: Beards are manly and say don’t F with me in a cool way so why do we have razors?

2: much of the ad would actually be positive if I didn’t suspect the political motives that probably lay behind it. The parts about being better and more honorable men are actually pretty decent.

3: you can call on men all you want to be better, but until this rising generation of women start to demand it most men won’t rise to the occasion. If you are a decent guy who is good to women and treats them with respect and takes care of kids and prevents douchebags from taking advantage of folks most young women these days will like to benefit from that but they won’t give you a second glance as far as being attracted. I am watching all the girls I grew up with abandon their values, rage against Trump, and marry Seattle type hipsters. These were supposed to be the “solid” girls with a good upbringing. Hell, I have a hard time even finding a girl around my age where I live who is an intelligent, conservative woman with good morals and values, who believes in God, and is halfway attractive. This next generation is more screwed than many of you older folks might believe. The good ones are really good, but they are few in number. Until women stop settling for hipsters and start demanding true, old fashioned masculinity most men won’t stand up and deliver because it is hard and it takes some semblance of balls. Gillette can preach and virtue signal all they want.

Thus, the desire to get the male demographic back. Unfortunately for them, they are going after the ‘male’ demographic depicted in this post:...

...thinking that encompasses the young men with beards movement. Of course, we realize that the lumber-sexual were just the west coast spin on the east coast metro-sexual. They might get that demographic back, since they’re confused anyway.
 
MK20,

While it is sometimes good to be objective and give someone the benefit of doubt, I don’t think it applies in this case.

“Toxic Masculinity “ is another way of saying; “don’t argue with the feminists. Men must become pussies - or else.”

So I’m not buying Gillette’s BS.
 
Oh, I am not giving them the benefit of the doubt. Just saying that that could have been a pretty decent ad if they tweaked it just a little to get rid of the anti man subtle slams. If you look at the end of my post I refer to the stupid virtue signaling in the ad.

A good attempt, but not quite on target.
Women are a big part of what is poisoning and destroying our society and the reason why it is hard for there to actually be these "good men".
The women don't want "good men", they actively hate, attack & discriminate against "good men". They want a bunch of weak spineless little neutered slaves and then wonder why they are useless and don't want to work to support a bunch of evil females.
Women these days Demand the least manly men on average and make it hard to be a decent man if you want to be. Try to be a good husband and father... they will leave you, take the kids, lie about you and get the government to make you be a slave to support her and her drug taking boyfriend as they ruin the kids lives & keep you in slavery while not letting you see your kids.

Women are the problem right now as they are the biggest tool, best allies and most effective weapon the Communists currently wield.

I read that but wasn't necessarily criticizing you. Some companies make some big errors in advertising that are unintentional. I wanted to make clear the distinction between an unintentional error versus something they did deliberately.

Thanks for your clarification.
 
@W54/XM-388 I dated one of those for a while until I saw through her deception and got a glimpse of the liberal underneath. She liked what I did for a living and thought it was manly and attractive, but when it came time to get it together and actually practice what she preached it was a different story. She wanted me to stop and move to Portland, fricking Portland! to be near her family because she couldn’t bear to be separated from them and for me to be a PA or nurse or some sort of tame job that I am really not suited for personally

And some people wonder why Sex Bots sales have gone through the roof.

EDIT: It's women who feel threatened with the rise of the sex bots. They should not be surprised after they have taken over the courts and destroyed men's livelihoods, their finances, their kids and their very lives.

Most women see men as "projects," as of yet incomplete. Beware them and hope that they show their hand before the point of no return.

Yep. That is the relational equivalent of an L shaped ambush with claymores, PKMs and Hinds on call.
Not likely to survive that one unscathed if you walk into it.

Yet Gillette seems to think that that would make for a dandy manner in which to have the country run.

I'm pretty decent at getting these types of girls. I'm much more decent at being headstrong and emotionally unavailable, which goes a long way in that situation. I've had a few cool girls that actually thought for themselves instead of parroting bullshit or just adopting my bearing in regard to most matters. Lots of chameleons and snakes out there for sure, though.

The thing that really gets me is when girls act stupid or make up small problems just so you will take their problems more seriously or spend time talking to them about stupid shit. I mean it works, if somebody helped me out every time I smiled at them just because I'm pretty and don't feel like handling something alone, I'd at least be aware of it. It's a huge turn off for me when a girl asks for help or purposefully complicates something simple. I don't know if they're trying to flirt or are just that useless, but it's annoying as all hell sometimes. I suppose some girls have to put up with shit like that from guys, too.

Screw Gillette and their politically correct BS. I 've been shaving for years with a Merkur HD double-edge razor loaded with Wilkinson Sword blades.

Occasionally I use a razor, but if I do, it's a stainless Merkur razor and a Feather blade
Except for a couple of years, I've worn a close cropped beard since I left the Navy in 1994. I do shave my neck below the jawline as hair there irritates the living fuck out of me. I shave about 2 - 4 times a week and when I do it's with the same exact razor you use. I tried Feathers but they irritated me something fierce. Personna stainless blades work just fine and shave close enough without irritation. I also use Cremo shaving cream, which is the absolute shiznit.

It sure as shit isn't gillette.
