P&G Challenges Men to Shave Their Toxic Masculinity in Gillette Ad
Spot pegged to #MeToo asks Is this the best a man can get?
Gillette is embracing the #MeToo movement in a new digital ad campaign aimed at men, the latest message from an advertiser attempting to change societal norms.
The ad, dubbed We Believe, opens with audio of news about the current #MeToo movement, bullying and toxic masculinity. A narrator then goes on to dispute the notion that boys will be boys, asking, Is this the best a man can get? Is it? We cant hide from it. It has been going on far too long. We cant laugh it off, making the same old excuses.

I sent them an almost identical email. I hope I don’t get spammed over it.
Thank you!

Good on you! There needs to be more of these type of proactive statements made to these companies!
I went with Harry’s. Great shave for a fraction of the price.
I bought my box of Feather blades ten years ago...I’m only about a quarter of the way through it. If you get a nice safety razor with a nicely weighted head it is a dream to shave with...and honestly I’m just as fast with it.
Are womens shavers going to launc a Dont be such a bitch ad campaign?
Maybe they think you’re an Islamic fanatic about to commit an act of ‘martyrdom’...(The 9-11 hijackers shaved everything off the night before).
Their phones are ringing off the hook

Gillette Stadium is full of macho men.
Merkur 34C. Best safety razor ever made.
I love using my Merkur 34C. Switching to safety razors also led me to great shaving soaps and brush. Often use Proraso shaving cream. So much better than that perfumy, chemical laden crap out of a can. NEVER going back.
I use a Merkur Futur. Love it!
I just joined the Club. $5. Free shipping.

Cool! I joined today as well. I like that Twitter, all the people saying Gillette sent them here LOL!
Dollar Shave Club is capitalizing on Gillettes woke stupidity:

They literally HATE their own customers!
Gillette SPITS IN THE FACE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEN HAS THE UNMITIGATED GUAL TO EXPECT THEM TO CONTINUE BUYING THEIR OVERPRICED GARBAGE.
LOL!
If they are “macho” they will contact Gillette and tell them to shove their razors where the sun doesn’t shine. (and the execs who designed this campaign as well).
