The entire point of a commercial is to make one feel a certain way about a product. In this instance, it was intended to make SJWs drool. So, anyone that doesn't support that is rightfully not supposed to buy the product. Many times when people are not happy with a product they discuss their dislike online in reviews or on TD for example. This isn't new to this product.

I do not know why you are pretending to be all high and mighty on a commercial hill when all is playing out as normal.

I simply chose to spend my money elsewhere, rather than on a company who spent millions of (my) dollars on an ad campaign to tell us how "toxic" it is to allow little boys to wrestle in the back yard while portraying all the dads as mindless, bumbling idiots.

It was a very simple choice and involved no triggering. Capitalism is amazing.

what kind of soaps and brush?

You using a soap or a creme?


Picked up a little brush/bowl combo on Amazon. The brand is Anbbas, and it came with some soap. Very similar to the set here:

How do you shave your balls?



NOT with a safety razor!

For this I use the wife's Bic pink disposable lady stick.

Commercials are generally used to sell a product, not lecture.

Creamo shave cream is also fantastic for my shave. I found that he original shave soap I bought dried up too quickly making me need to reapply and re wet halfway through shaving.

Creamo was a game changer.

I'm having trouble with this. I made the switch about a year ago, but I've migrated back to the disposable cartridges. I could get a good shave with the safety razor, it just took three passes. I hate to shave once, much less three times.

You mean buy the product or don't. It doesn't really need to go beyond that. Don't like the commercial, don't buy the product. That's not triggering that's normal consumer behavior

you showed them! You bought something and posted to an echo chamber.

My barber uses a straight razor to shave me with every cut. I have to say, its amazingly close. I won't switch off my dorco blades as they are good enough for me.

eta: I got a shaving kit with a safety razor for xmas liek 20 years ago. I didn't particularly like it, I felt like it took a lot longer to shave.

I use Feather blades. They're so sharp and cheap that I don't bother trying to sharpen them, I just grab a new one when I think it needs it (of course, I also buy 100 at a time).

I use a Merkur 34C razor and I recommend it, although some may find it small for their hands. It's hefty for its size and shaves well. I also use Jack Black Supreme Cream, no brush, just my fingers. It's quality stuff.

I switched to a traditional safety razor years ago and I've never looked back. You get a closer shave for less money and you're not paying rapacious prices for multi-bladed razor cartridges.

I started using Gillette products when I turned 18 and they sent me a mach 3 gift for registering for the selective service. I have never used another product since.

After their terrible ad and this endorsement, I may make the switch myself.

Imagine being angry with a commercial



Imagine sticking your head in the sand believing you won't get wet in the coming storm.

Imagine being a smug frick who is easily manipulated.

Imagine actually playing keeping up with the SJWs.

Imagine being such a soft piece of shite, that when a company targets men as a whole, you don't feel like they are talking to you.

Why is one choice better than the other?

Legitimately pennies on the dollar compared to disposable cartridges, and a closer shave to boot.

If I ever feel like I need to upgrade, it'll probably be for that Merkur.
