There appears to be a serious latex fetish in the halls of gillette headquarters.

“I didn’t even have to search. For some reason, I remembered them.”

I can see why! :-)

“There appears to be a serious latex fetish in the halls of gillette headquarters.”

After those races, I kinda had one too, for a bit.

But I love my Gillette Atra.

Had one for 30 years, my current is about 15 years old, replaced my original one which busted. Only ever had 2.

And I am just fine with the double blade. I think the multiple reproducing blades are just to make it more expensive.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Not true.

Plenty of us gorgeous yet classy chicks also get ticked off about low class.

I got a new 4.25 oz bottle of Old Spice a couple Christmases back so at the rate I use it up I'll have to decide on an alternative sometime in 2028.

For everything else P&G sells we've already decided on an alternative.

Actually, the women’s razors are engineered differently than the men’s. Women have more places to shave, and some of those areas (like the armpit) have very delicate skin. The reason they cost more is because of the extra R&D costs associated with their design. The same dynamic is true of any women’s product that costs more than the corresponding male product.

How about those blades that Brett Favre advertises?

With all respect to Favre, I don't think I'd shave with any blade he uses. I need a full shave, not half a one.

I’m not giving up Dawn, it’s the only decent dish soap and I’m married to who uses it to degrease.

Don’t actually use the other stuff. I’m a store brand girl.

Waiting for Gillette to criticize blacks for disproportionate violence and crime, Latinos for laziness to learn English, and homosexuals for AIDS epidemic

I do like one Gillette model.

[philman_36]

Make that two models...

Not this “pink tax” crap again. Only governments levy taxes. If women don’t want to pay more for lilac colored, scented razors, then they are free to buy men’s razors. Everything is a cause these days.

[EEGator]

That is simply outstanding.

[Radix]

You cannot say ‘chicks’ because it is so sexist and degrading.

[trebb]

Yep - changed to Schick 3 days ago - works fine and the cost of 2 Gillette blades gets my 5 blades...

[EEGator]

Should I sit down when I pee?...
