I have avoided watching the much talked about ad from Gillette. I have enough nonsense in my life to pollute my mind and raise my anger level. Besides that it might trigger anxiety.
I have not bought a blade in years. I have no idea what brand I bought. All I can tell you was that it had three blades and was on sale at Costco. Years ago I moved to an electric because I got tired of the nicks a blade gave.
I don’t expect to buy any more blades. My reason is that I now take a blood thinner and they recommend using an electric. If I did change back I would try to avoid Gillette.
I think the ad was really trying to attract the metrosexual crowd. The current cool look in the millennial age group is to appear to have gone three days without a shave. They get that look with an electric, not a blade. Maybe Gillette was trying to win over that crowd. I also notice a lot more guys wearing beards than when I was young. To a dwindling market they may have felt they needed to be extra virtuous.
My sympathy to the workers who will be looking for new jobs because of a loss of sales. Maybe Schick is hiring.

I've been wearing a beard since I was 16, although it was only a goatee and mustache then. Guess I was cool before cool was cool. - lol
