Dollar Shave Club is capitalizing on Gillette’s woke stupidity

As Twitchy told you earlier, Gillette recently waded into virtue-signaling waters with their “The Best Men Can Be Campaign”:

Gillette ✔ @Gillette "Boys will be boys"? Isn’t it time we stopped excusing bad behavior? Re-think and take action by joining us at http://TheBestMenCanBe.org . #TheBestMenCanBe 3,982 5:45 PM - Jan 11, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 2,402 people are talking about this

Because nothing attracts men to your product more than shaming masculinity.

Needless to say, Gillette’s finding themselves bleeding customers, so to speak. And Dollar Shave Club is only too happy to make the most of it:

Dollar Shave Club ✔ @DollarShaveClub Welcome to the Club.

Well played, guys.

Try Harry’s razors - I think they are great and have used them for five +/- years now.

Well, I've always had the option of using blades, but I like electric better. It was never an issue until about a year ago, when my wife bought me a new Norelco.

It was 'different' from my old one, and didn't shave nearly as good. Wifey went out and got what she thought was a better one, and it's just as bad.

Now that I've got my vision back (thank you Dr Haley), I'm going to see if Norelco has a more high quality tier of razors.

The best part is they give you a heads up a few weeks before shipping so you can delay shipment for a few weeks or a month or two if you have too many blades.

DSC does the same thing. I love the email reminders - Hey, we’re going to ship out your next order of blades. If i have 2 or more still, I just postpone it.

I meant the Dollar Shave Club commercial was creepy and awful.

The Gilette commercial was typical left wing agitprop-virtue signalling.

One would think a smart business decision would be to not alienate a large section of your customer base but maybe this is a new business model./sarc

I use a Shick razor. The fancy one that comes with 2 blades for 10 bucks. I get over a year for each blade. The trick is to dry the razor after shaving. Just shake the water off and set on its little holder that holds it off the blade. Never use shaving cream. I just use a bar of soap to shave with. Try it.....

Unfortunately, it's getting more difficult to find a company that just sells a great product without trying to inject themselves into social issues.

Even Dollar Shave Club isn't immune from this.

A few examples from their website:
What Do I Tell My Kids About That Racist Relative?
When Should I Let My Kids Wear Makeup, Get Piercings, and the Rest?

Now, what in the world does this have to do with getting a great shave product at a reasonable price? Answer, absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.
