Gillette has gone full SJW retard with new marketing video **8/2 UPDATE- P&G takes $8 billion loss at Gillette division**
Many of us were just waiting for this news: Gillette sales are way down, and they are cutting prices on their products up to 20% in a desperate attempt to regain market share.
Nice going SJWs at Gillette! Your company is now hemorrhaging money-- but you no doubt feel so woke.

Yeah, Gillette can go stick its head in its own lap and blow. I canceled my razor subscription with Amazon for Gillette cartridges months ago. However, I'm still using up my stock so still using Gillette. They haven't seen a dime from since this sjw nonsense though.
Still not 100% sure what I'll replace them with.

It's always nice to see the results of a brilliant ad campaign. I am sure there are several companies that truly liked this add - you know names like Schick, Bic, Harry's, Dollar SC. Clearly all those at Gillette, involved with this, deserve a promotion to customer.

I use so few razors I doubt they will notice, but I switched.
The SJWs will never acknowledge the connection between their BS and lower sales

Coincidence?
Gillette's quality took a nosedive several years ago when they moved production to Mexico. As a life-long user of Gillette, I noticed the change immediately, and started looking for better products.
Of the multi-blades, Harry's was the best. Their shaving lather is better than Edge, which is another product I've used for 50+ years. Try that, too.
I've since switched to DE and soap in a mug, but I keep my Harry's kit for travel. It's a good choice.
Gillette's aWokening will hopefully destroy them, and send a message to all those companies who think it's OK to think that we respond well to ads promoting non-mainstream behavior as some sort of new normal. I stopped using many products because I was gagging on their ads.

I used and really liked the Mach 3s for a long time, but they seemed to get more and more stupid expensive and I’d only get a week out of them with them being noticeably duller by the end of the week. Tried Harry’s five blade (since they didn’t have a three) and it felt a little like shaving with a surfboard at first, but didn’t take that long to get used to. The weird thing is I get a month out of a Harry’s cartridge and it seems less dull at the end of the month than the Mach 3 did at the end of the week.

It’s gonna get a lot worse. All these companies are doing demographic shifts and pretty soon all the marketing is going to be wrapped around millennials. I’m seeing it on several fronts.

The brand has been on sale/rebate near constantly since the video came out. They wouldn’t need to do that if sales were strong.

Same here, but after that ad came out I used up my Gillette products and found a cheaper store brand that works just as well. Heck, I would spend MORE money just to avoid buying Gillette!

The BIC razor's have been great. The 5 blade are a great experience although I've been trying the triple blade due to price point. I was a Gillette Mach3 user for years. No more.This message has been edited. Last edited by: DetonicsMk6,

They’ve doubled down. Trans black teens are apparently their new target market.
The Skinguard also appears to me to be a response to many of us figuring out that 3-5 blades leads to more problems than it solves. They had it right 60-65 years ago, but the business of selling more blades led them to innovate past the point of perfection. I’m calling it now: they’ve already brought out a “new” two blade razor to try to stem competition from the vintage stuff, they’ll bring out a new single blade razor with a proprietary head before long.
Fuck Gillette. Get yourself a selection of straight, double edge and single edge razors and learn to do it the way your grandfather did and there’s no comparison, no going back.

Read the comments. I think there's a very high probability that Gillette is filtering the comments.
Thanks for the YouTube link, I was looking for it and couldn’t find it. The other forum I saw this on mentioned the lack of negative comments, and I would agree they’re deleting negative comments as fast as they can, even comments calling that possibility to attention.

I just ordered a refillable type razor from Barbasol. We'll see how it does.
I already use their shaving cream. I have never liked the Gillette gels.
After 20 years of Gillette Mach 3, change is going to be tough.

I still plan to buy Gillette DE blades, but the ones I use come out of Russia for the Arabic market, I have a feeling that those segments of the company are NOT on board with any of this garbage.
