Are you a man? That is to say, are you a genetic male who also happens to identify as a "man," for some increasingly antiquated reason? If so, are you under the mistaken impression that you're not a rapist?
Our society has come a long way in shaming men for behaving in any way that anybody anywhere doesn't like, and reminding men that we're all complicit even if we don't behave that way. But it's not nearly enough. The mere fact of maleness is shameful and problematic. Men and boys everywhere need to be reminded that we're evil. We must learn to hate ourselves as much as everyone else hates us. The patriarchy must be castrated.
And who better to do it than a company that makes razors?
Alexandra Bruell, WSJ:
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...
“This is an important conversation happening, and as a company that encourages men to be their best, we feel compelled to both address it and take action of our own,” said Pankaj Bhalla, Gillette brand director for North America in an emailed statement. “We are taking a realistic look at what’s happening today, and aiming to inspire change by acknowledging that the old saying ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is not an excuse. We want to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and hope all the men we serve will come along on that journey to find our ‘best’ together.”

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SELL RAZORS, YOU DUMB RUNT!! (rhymes with)
And I already use BIC single blade razors.
EXCELLENT reply
They could have shown dads lecturing their daughters not to be promiscuous and telling their sons to stay away from shrews!
The cost of razors and the lower quality says use electric. I use Braun shavers and they Work great.
Testosterone...the stuff that makes men manly, also makes their beards grow.
Without the stuff that makes men be men, Gillette would fold! LOL!
I usually use Feather blades, but I may give Astra a try.

Welcome to the Club
your starter set should arrive in 3-5 business days.
You’re about to look, smell, and feel your best.
Thank you, Gillette.
I used a Braun until it could no longer hold a charge (this meant that it also didn’t work even when plugged in), then I switched to a safety razor.
I like the Gillette Trac 2. I prefer it to the Mach 3 anyways. Buy a “Bump Fighter” razor handle $6 ( https://www.amazon.com/Bump-Fighter-46-0221-Shaving-Kit/dp/B0011Z3WXU/ref=sr_1_13_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1547519001&sr=8-13&keywords=bump%2Bfighter%2Brazor&th=1 ) and the Personna Trac 2 cartridges for $11/100 - or 11 cents each: ( https://www.amazon.com/Personna-Twin-TWIN-Razor-blades/dp/B003MFXWUA/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1547519058&sr=8-4&keywords=trac+2+razor+blade+refills )
For $17, you get a great handle and at least a 2 year supply of razors. Maybe more like 4 years...
Gillette Good News. $0.25 to $0.50 each. Ebay.

If a man is not in the military or has to wear a mask of some kind, he shouldn’t shave.
“Without the stuff that makes men be men, Gillette would fold! LOL!” . ...they may have commercials with trannies shaving their legs?
YIKES! Never thought of that.
I just read that Astra makes blades for Gillette, so no sale.
Yeah, I see Astra was acquired by Gillette, even though Gillette continues to produce DE blades under its own name as well. You’re right, stick with the Feathers - great Japanese blades. I’ll stick with my German straight edge.
