Apology accepted. Let's move on.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I was getting ready to get some refills for my Gillette fusion. Looks like I will be switching.

Just ordered a Merkur razor, Feather double-edged blades, a silver tip badger brush, and a bowl of shaving soap. And I wasn’t even using Gillette before! Big Grin If this doesn’t work out I’ll just go back to Harry’s blades.

Why don't you just have your butler shave you? Razz

You’ll love the Feathers. They’re great. Sharpest out there. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll be glad there’s a doctor in the house. Big Grin

Christ that was awful. That didn’t have shit to do with selling product. As much as ads blow, I wish they would stay on topic. If I wanted to be preached to a about social BS, I’d watch CNN or MSNBC.

Gillette. What's that? Haven't used a Gillette razor in years.

Here's my line up of safety razors. A 1960s vintage Schick, a Merkur slant bar, and an Edwin Jagger. I use Merkur blades and Barbasol shaving cream. Once the initial expenditures on the razor itself is paid, blades are pennies per month.

Vintage Gillettes (I have a few) don't count in this bolox - pre-insanity. Sinatra used a Gillette along with most males in the '40s and '50s. I have a hard time picturing him dancing around in a tutu....

I think I found who this commercial is for. Sigh.

So I had to return a soundbar to bestbuy tonight. I get there and “guy” behind the counter says we need to open the box to make sure I put the real item in etc. no worries I get it. He says can you help me open it back up and take it out. No problem I say, I pull out a 3 inch Spyderco Native and start to cut the box tape open.

This “guy” jumped back about three feet with a horrified look on his face. I mean you would have thought I whipped out my cock in one hand and an Uzi in the other. Jesus.

So I finished up put the knife away and said it’s ok now can you help me get it out of the box.

FFS those dude could use a little touch of toxic masculinity. Sigh.

Gillette marketing sure has gone down the crapper. They used to be good. For example, they mailed a free Gillette Edge to my brother when he turned 16. My Dad and I were so impressed with it we bought one for ourselves. The three of us bought their overpriced cartridges for 20 years. Now, that is effective marketing.

Looking into Dollar Shave and Dorko (never heard of them).

Dorco looks similar to the Gillette - any recommendations on which model? Amazon seems to carry the brand.....
At the time I bought mine, Dorco made Dollar Shave Club (don't know if it's still the case). For the same money I could buy Dorco from Amazon Prime and not have to put up with any membership BS such as automatic shipping, receiving e-mails, etc.

I bought the Dorco Pace 6 Plus. I'm paying less for a 6 blade razor cartridge than I was for a 2 blade Gillette Edge cartridge. I shave 5 or 6 days a week, and change the blades the first of every month. I might be able to go longer but don't want to get knicked. That's much longer blade life than I got out of my Gillette Edge.

One thing I like about Dorco is that most of their cartridges are interchangeable. I was debating between the 4 blade and 6 blade, and the handle looked better on the 6 blade Pace 6 Plus so I purchased it knowing that in the event I decided 6 blade cartridges were too unwieldy that I can just order the 4 blade cartridges and keep using my existing, nicer handle.

Reached for comment by the Wall Street Journal, Gillette brand director for North America Pankaj Bhalla said:
"This is an important conversation happening, and as a company that encourages men to be their best, we feel compelled to both address it and take action of our own," adding "We are taking a realistic look at what’s happening today, and aiming to inspire change by acknowledging that the old saying ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is not an excuse. We want to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and hope all the men we serve will come along on that journey to find our ‘best’ together."

Yeah, no.

...would be more productive to me that watching that "commerical" again.

Certainly more entertaining. It may even remind me to shave so that I can purchase more safety razors from a Gillette competitor.

I use Bic. Now I am glad I do.

Anyone remember putting your used blades into the slot in the bathroom medicine cabinet so they fell into the wall cavity behind the cabinet?
