Today’s case in point is the bizarre incident involving a self-proclaimed “future college student,” this person’s Twitter account consisting of two followers when the complaint was tweeted (it’s up to 11 followers as of this writing), a 2019 segment from a Candace Owens show on which Michael Knowles appeared, and Harry’s Razors.
The future college student apparently took some time to find a video clip it deemed offensive, then looked for the companies that only later advertised on one of the participants’ shows, and then tweeted to Harry’s Razors about the 2019 video’s supposed offense.
Avi Das notified Harry's Razors:
"Candace Owens says using preferred gender pronouns means "I am now required to have a mental disorder because you have one" Guest Michael Knowles equates being trans to having schizophrenia."
Harry's Razor's reply:
"Thanks for bringing this up. We condemn the views in this video, which are inexcusable & at odds with our longtime support of the LGBTQ+ community. We've ended our relationship with this show & are looking into our sponsorships to prevent any values misalignment going forward."
So not only has this brand new Twitter user caused Harry’s to stop advertising on Knowles’ show, but the company, presumably run by grown-ups, also pledged to review all shows on which it advertises to ensure no “values misalignment” offends this nobody “future college student” on Twitter . . . that it doesn’t sic its two whole followers—its parents?—on them. It’s quite surreal.

Standard commodity type razors are are not good enough for the millennial crowd. The bearded hipster types thinks using a boutique razor gives them an edge with their gender attraction choice.
A Bulldog.....38 special his pocket and a razor in his shoe.
I just cancelled...had to send a separate email to explain why: “The real reason I cancelled is because you went woke. “Values misalignment”? Sorry, I liked your razors, not your political message.”
A .44 Triple-lock in his pocket and a W.R.Case XX 5/8 cut throat in his shoe. Haven’t bought a razor blade in years. Over the years have managed to pick up few Cases, several Sheffield brands (IXL, A. Wright and Sons) and a few German pre-WWI Solingens. The pre-war Solingens really are superior at holding an edge, by far. Strop the Cases once a week when using one and my face is as smooth as a babies bum. That’s a good trick when you’re 75.
Agreed. It’s difficult the avoid purchasing Gillette products because there are so many others besides razors, shaving cream, and deodorant. But I do my best to refrain from purchasing the obvious ones.

When gilette went woke, I ditched them and switched to a very old school Safety Razor. Tried different double edged blades and found the Dorco ones to be quite excellent. You can get 100 blades for less that $10.00. The Egyptian “Shark” blades were extremely sharp as well, but a little more aggressive in my safety razor so I settled on the Dorco.
