Gillette CEO: $8 Billion Loss over Woke Ads ‘Worth Paying’

Gillette CEO and president Gary Coombe is defending the $8 billion write-down Procter & Gamble experienced last quarter related to his brand, saying in a recent interview that it was “worth paying” and that he doesn’t mind alienating some customers.

Glad he feels this way, I'm out and I know many of you are as well.

I just don't understand how Wall Street just shrugged off the write-down.

... recently switched to German made Merkur Futur which has been on the market since 1985. Or you can buy the Chinese clone of it for about 1/3 the price.




Also, if you switch to a safety razor be sure to avoid Gillette blades. They, unfortunately, make some of the best safety razor blades in their Russian (PPI) factory. Obviously any razor with Gillette on the box is to be avoided, but they make a number of blades without their name on them such as: Astra, Sputnik, Permasharp, Polsilver, Nacet, 7 O'clock series. Avoid them all. (Great blades but still made by Gillette). Gillette makes their blades in St. Petersburg and NOT Moscow.

Here's the Moscow made blades NOT owned by Gillette:

Rapira
Voshkod
Ladas

His personal preference is as follows:

Dorco Primes (Korean owned)
Wilkinson Sword Classic (Made in Germany)
Personna Blues (Made in USA and not owned by Gillette)
Voshkod (Made in Russia)
Feather (Made in Japan) - Sharpest blades on market, almost too sharp. Will slice the frick out of you if you don't know what you're doing.

I don't endorse a ban to anyone but when my one year supply of blades run out soon, I know what I'll do.
