Would you ever see an ad like that for Men’s Razors in Russia?

[Drew68]

All White males misbehaving, and corrected by non Whites.

Yes, that did not go unnoticed.

Funny thing, go ask any attractive woman living in a big city when was the last time a white guy catcalled her.

[JamesP81]

They’re being thrown to the wolves. Since they already stepped on their...own toes, now anyone who might’ve stood by them will instead stand by.

Don't buy any razor that you have to take out a mortgage to pay for.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Yeah, Gillette is super concerned about the objectification of women.

[EEGator]

Same species essentially, but thanks for the correction.

[Mears]

Good catch-—and VERY funny.

.

[EEGator]

Precisely.

[FLvoter]

Isn’t it sexist to call it a pink tax?

[Freedom4US]

If women are willing/dumb enough to pay more money for the exact same thing, how is that a concern of mine, that’s their problem. Doh!!

I bought a straight razor. Not a “gender-questioning” razor. Get it? They look badass, too! F Gillette.

[EEGator]

Every single one of those chicks loves it too.

Only ugly chicks get mad about it.

I tossed my currently "in use" Gillette razor and gave the remainder of a package (2) to my wife.

I'll be avoiding other P&G products:

• Luvs, Pampers, Tide
• Ariel, Bounce, Cheer, Downey, Dreft, ERA, Gain, Ace, RINDEX
• Bounty, Charmin, Puffs
• Always, TAMPAX
• Head & Shoulders, Aussie, Herbal Essences, Old Spice
• Pantene
• Cascade, DAWN, Febreze, Joy, Mr. Clean, Swiffer, Salvo
• BRAUN, Gillette, Venus, The Art of Shaving
• Align, Clearblue, MetaMUCIL, Pepto Bismol, Priolosec, VICKS, ZzzQuil
• Crest, Fixodent, Oral-B, Scope
• IVORY, Olay, Safeguard, Secret, NATIVE, SNOWBERRY

I'll need to find another toothbrush maker other than Oral-B.

OLD SPICE???!

NOT OLD SPICE!!!

[pnut22]

I have my great grandfather’s straight razor. It’s pretty wicked looking.

[TheThirdRuffian]

The Gillette grid girls at open-wheel racing are legendary.

I didn't even have to search. For some reason, I remembered them.

[antidemoncrat]

Especially when I shave my armpits and legs.

[ReaganGeneration2]

Boycott this Virtue Signaling PoS product until it’s extinct

[TheThirdRuffian]

“Every single one of those chicks loves it too.”

They seemed very happy to hang out with attractive rich guys and celebs, yes.

I did not object to them.

My first husband was a Viet Nam Vet. He shaved with a straight edge. Every week day. He was cool. very cool.
