Their stuff is so expensive. I use them on my neck (beautiful bearded dude) and a three pack of refills cost like $18
Why do you buy them?

Scruffy bought a 10 pack of Schick for half that price.

Scruffy has a beard and only uses them for edging.

I agree that edgy and controversial commericls can be effective. But when your attempt at being edgy and controversial is to insult your maim customer base, that’s never good. That’s especially true when you’re already losing market share like Gillette has been doing for quite some time now.

What amazed Scruffy is that, at a time where razor sales are already low, they still felt that this was an acceptable risk to take.

This “beards are in” period seems to be the time to lay low.


I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when they discussed the goal of the commercial. I know people joke about how it probably went, but I would be genuinely interested to hear what they're trying to accomplish. Surely they figured this reaction would happen, so what's the end game?

The Schlick stuff in the store gives me razor burn. The generic stuff will cut me to the jugular and somehow leave the neck hair, not sure how that's possible.

Darth.

We get it.

You don't think the commercial will be effective.

You have posted the same post like 15x in this thread.

I dont need a bullshite razor company to lecture me on how to act or raise my son. Shut up, sell razors, and quit trying to make me feel guilty for being born a white guy.

Not sure how that is possible.

Scruffy shaves with just water too. Saves money on needing shaving cream.

Not sure where this comes from. Are you under the impression that I don't really think y'all are entertainment for getting worked up about this?

Seriously. That would be prime TV.

I honestly think this is a result of the people at Gillette living in the far-left liberal bubble. They are liberal, surrounded by liberals, and only listen or give any weight to those who see the world as they do. That’s the only logical reason I can find to explain how they thought this commercial was a good idea.

I buy a 30 pack of Gillette Sensor2 Plus razors on Amazon subscribe and save every 3 months. $20. It's a 2 blade razor, but I don't have any prove throwing it away every 3 days or so.

I’m sorry. I thought the thread was about the Gillette commercial.

Nice. Whatever works.

Scruffy hasn’t been clean shaven in almost 4 years and razors last a really long time.

That's part of it, but they're often intelligent too, and you knew you'd catch flak for this commercial. I just want to know how they quantify it in order to pull the trigger on the idea.

I'd also like to know how they measure whether or not it's a success.
