They became anti-masculine and promoted LBQTRGACITLX.
They got shaved..................

I have been a lifelong Gillette user, but will never buy another product of theirs.
Never.
Most of their customers now wax instead of shave.
Bought Kirkland razor (costco). Not as good as Gillette but serviceable. Not going to pad Gillette’s pocketbook. Eff gillette.

I use a safety razor now. Threw my Gillette razor away.

I now use Schick.

Being Cherokee/Apache, I don’t shave much anyway.

I wonder if they lost more customers over the commercial of the dad teaching his trans-whatever to shave than they did for the original toxic masculinity one?
