The article is a little misleading. It sounds like a tax maneuver such that P&G gets to defer paying taxes on current income. Gillette’s fairly expensive as razor blades go. Someone who buys Gillette over cheaper substitutes presumably feels they’re worth the extra money. I don’t see the value, but then again, I don’t drink Starbucks either, and they’re prospering.

[Chief Financial Officer Jon Moeller told reporters that Gillette posted 4 percent organic sales growth in the quarter and continues to be an attractive business for P&G.]

Maybe they can now use the Marlboro Man.

They’re not stupid. They want to make money in the long run. It’s a mystery to me, but I’ll take a stab at it. Like Nike, they see growth in the anti-American global market. The good news is that their predictive models show that American patriotism will be alive and well into the near future. The bad news is they see an ever growing, ever more prosperous anti-American majority in the wider world.

I’ve been a Gillete razor guy my entire adult life. Their outrageous “social Justice” ads revolted me. I threw away my Gillette razor, went to Walmart and bought myself a nice (and inexpensive) BIC three blade razor.

Screw ‘em.

Went to Schick - actually gives a better shave than Gillette - as if I needed a reason not to go back....

When are these companies going to learn to stick to business and stay out of politics and Leftist ideologies?

They're getting what they didn't expect.

Fewer "toxic" male customers.

It was better when shaving companies knew that they could count on Bobby to help sell their stuff, eh?

A loyal Gillette customer for 53 years and now: no more. I know it’s a small protest but I know it adds up.

Don’t let them write off their loss. It was a deliberate stunt.

This is why I shop at dollar tree more and more often. Screw paying the upfront full price for stuff. For Christmas I buy on auction a pallet of the Target returns and seel it back on ebay...

I switched to Bulldog the day the homo ad was released. Will never go back to Jill-ette.

Gillette’s CEO and president, Gary Coombe, says that angering some consumers with its #metoo campaign was a “price worth paying” if it meant the brand could increase its relevance among younger consumers and turn around its falling market share...

Hopefully this genius CEO will be fired by the board of directors for degrading shareholder value.

Gillette’s infamous “toxic masculinity” ad may cost Procter & Gamble more than anyone imagined in January.

Who would have guessed that insulting 98% of your customer base would be bad for business? I'm shocked!
