Gillette runs huge advertisement in mag

[Puffin StuffParticipant 24979]

A real man forgets about his relationship with his children and go off to fight other peoples wars. That’s what a “real” man is. Cannon fodder.

My ban on P and G products is 95% completed. The only one is Fabreeze. There isn’t a second option other than storebrand at my store, and that’s febreeze anyway. I have no idea what to buy on the internet. Anyway, this is $900 a year hit for PandG from me alone. That’s a low estimate. If men actually boycott P and G they would change their ads for real. But really I hope they don’t, I hope men start their own companies and make better products for the masses.

It would be gratifying to learn that Gillette and P&G are suffering some painful financial consequences over their ad’s misandrist overtones, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The response video cost a little more than they expected, but I think they’ve shaken the whole thing off by now. I haven’t been following it very closely, but it looks to me like they were fine with losing customers.

That’s not to say that avoiding their products is futile. There are so many more wet shaving options, from budget to luxurious. I like double-edge (DE) safety razors. Rather than constantly repaying for ugly, semi-disposable handles and unnecessarily redundant cartridges, I liked having a solid, permanent razor. When I started with the DE razor, I ordered a sampler pack of DE blades so I could fine-tune my shave with just the right one. I also bought a brush and tried several soaps and creams.

A straight-edge razor takes the disposable blades out of the equation, but you’d need to be sure you’re up for the stropping and honing – not to mention shaving with the totally exposed blade.

Of course, a beard works too.

Do you need Fabreeze? If something smells, I don’t think clearing the air is the solution. Instead, find the root cause of the smell, and get rid of THAT. Problem solved. There you go, now it’s 100% complete.

I am going to take a whole different approach this this Gilette toxic masculinity ad thing. I am looking at this from a dollars point of view.

The ad seemed totally out of touch with what Gilette needs to do to earn revenue… at least to us.

There’s only one reason I can think of to destroy your customer base… and that’s if the insiders were gong to short the stock and walk away with millions while screwing everyone else.

I don’t know if that happened here – I haven’t kept up with the finance of it all.

But it’s clear beards have made a comeback in the past decade. I don’t really know where it all came from. I still shave, but as an observer, beards are all the rage. I am thinking that had to be hurting Gilette pretty hard, since they sell razors and shaving cream. And Obama destroyed our military (men who need to be shaved). Perhaps Gilette was already feeling the market squeeze and felt they needed to try something desperate. If they succeeded, they could get all those bearded men to feel guilty and shave their beards again, and if they failed, nothing is lost, since nobody is shaving anyway.

That’s my guess. It was a financial decision. It seems everyone sells out the moral foundation of their society for a buck.

The support of “military families” usually means making it easy for the women staying at home while their husbands are fighting the wars for them.
Gillette, or P & G could give less than a f~~~ about the deployed men, here.

I know of soooo many women at home banging Jodie and sometimes getting pregnant while their deployed husbanks are made to feel guilty and selfish for being away from them.

F~~~ those whores on the “home-front”.

I just opened the print edition of WIRED magazine(April 2019) and inside the cover on what would be page 2 &3 is a HUGE ad from Gillette. On page 2 it says “Every Hero Sweats.” and there is a picture of a young man in military camo with his son at his side. They are cheek to cheek. Below this pic is a stick of Gillette deodorant.
On page 3, is a detailed account of how Gillette has partnered with the non-profit organiation .Operation Homefront which supports military families. AGAIN on page 3 is a pic of a military man in camo with his son on his chest. That is about 1/4 of page 3. The OTHER 3/4 of page 3 is about how effective Gillette’s hydra-gel deodorant is; using 3 bullet points to show the advantage over “other” deodorants.
At the top of page 3 is a strip across the page saying”To Protect and Serve.”
Now I ask you……… Does this seem like damage control from their “toxic Masculinity: ad ??? I haven’t seen this in the electronic version of WIRED mag,it has a completely different format than the print version.
Your Thoughts ?

Is it damage control? Does Taco Tuesday wreck your drawers on Wednesday?

I think they finally got the numbers after their little toxic masculinity stunt and those numbers were BAD. F~~~ing stop s~~~ting on people and you’ll do just fine. We’ve got more than enough data now to show that when a company gets woke, they go broke. STOP DOING IT PEOPLE!!

Learn from the past, Control the present, and you will know the Future.

Hey, I have an idea: STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM !!!

[JB BooksParticipant 3182]

Does Gillette make the Costco brand disposable razors? I have a straight razor, but don’t really want to use it every day. Don’t want to join a shaving club either. What do you guys see as the best options for purchasing disposable razors if Gillette is off the table?

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham

The Gillette cucks screwed up. Now like all good little cucks them come crawling.

I like my beard.

Funny for sure. After that fiasco advert I am sure the company noticed a serious hit to the bottom line. In places like that s~~~ rolls down hill fast even though it would never make news the people who were responsible have been let go or re assigned to positions they can not cause that kind of damage again.
Expect a lot more ties with military charities. The leftist will not attack being as the military has moved into that sacred cow area, if they did everyone would come down on them.

I’d add to that list that a lot of men use the military because they know that they’re not right in the head (too lazy, addicted to whatever, etc) and they believe the discipline from the military can fix them up. It makes for a man who grew up with a single mom, no male influence. Would you not crave male role models and companionship with other men?

I am always skeptical of corporations and their charitable donations. The act serves two purposes that are not related to the charity. One, it’s a tax write off. The company is likely structured so that if they didn’t donate, it was all going to the federal government anyway. Two, it’s great for advertising/PR. Depending on the particular hot charity, I would bet donating to the charity gives more bang than hiring a celebrity spokesman.

Ok. Then do it.

What colour were the soldiers? If they were black then it’s a continuation of their other ad where white men are perpetrators and black men are heroes. If they were white, then yes, I’d say damage control. If they were black and white, then I’d say insincere cultural marxist bollocks, and then I’d carry on boycotting Gillette shaving stuff (though I’ve never used them anyway).

I have a beard now but I know that there are a few good budget copycats to the disposable twin blade Gillette sells. pic one and try them out is prolly the only way to find out. STERILIZE them first.

The vid is worse than the print ad AWAKENED !

I guess our hero servicemen(and women) are too cukked to go w/o Gillette deodorant now. It’s tough making the transition from military back to home life. I feel Gillette is exploiting that.

This is pure damage control from a financial and social apsect of the Toxic Masculinity ad.

See the video in AWAKENED’s post. FYI the soldier is white(Caucasion). I don’t think his color or culture is the issue; it is that he is MALE. THE MALE is the target audience for this ad.

The culture and colour was definitely the issue in the ‘toxic masculinity’ ad. Did you ever watch it? It sent the very biased message that white men are especially toxic.

The same message, communicated practically forever, even in pre-feminist days:

You are not a real man, unless you are a TOOL for others to use for their own benefit… until you are worn out and “useless”… then to be discarded.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

[sidecarParticipant 35837]

Sorry. No. Not buying gillette any more. after the last s~~~ they pulled.

And now I’m no longer buying WIRED, either.

[Max PowerParticipant 2721]

F~~~ them. I was so happy buying Schick most recently. I am a simple man, of simple joys.

And if one of you motherf~~~ers now tell me that Gilette also owns Schick, well… f~~~ you too!

As for we white men, if only we could all just move to one place with only white men, and all our inventions and achievements, and f~~~ off everyone else – except a group of white “Breedin’ Women” who we give no rights to and we allow to submissively live with us to keep our fertility rate stable… hey, a toxic white man can dream, can’t he!? Then everyone else can find somebody else to bitch at. F~~~ them too.
