Gillette fighting for survival? :)

They’ll rebrand, change their name to Shmilette and continue to sell you the same shit under some new “FUCK YEAH HAVING A PENIS IS AWESOME” fake bullshit campaign and pretend like nothing ever happened.

qaveboy · 2019-08-31T17:54:06+00:00

Keep spreading the word

In yet another example, man hating works.

It’s funny. I thought women controlled 80% of spending. A man hating advertisement should have increased sales by 50%.

Hopefully they didn’t believe that twitter man haters represented purchasers.

I wonder how P&G will be doing, now that I stopped buying all their shit too.

Oh well, remember, P&G destroys the environment with poisonous products. Some of which are shown to cause cancer.

Gillette who? what? razors? No thanks, I just trim my beard with Andis hair clippers, and if I want to look formal have a straight razor to shave neck and upper cheeks...

Pro tip: you can sharpen legacy straight razors nice with 2000 grit wet or dry sand paper....

In fact you can sharpen disposable double edge razor blades with 2000 grit sand paper... just back drag them flatish on the paper on a flat surface.

So if youve got an old Gillette double edge blade, you can buy a sheet of 2000 grit and get years out of both, and snicker every time you see that logo on the blade...

What the fuck did they expect

Miggymoggy · 2019-08-31T22:03:50+00:00

Their anti-men advert outright pissed me off and I stopped buying all Proctor and Gamble products, which here in the UK I predict most households have at least 10 of their products, so that is a massive loss if people boycotted all their products.

When will companies learn that you sell products to consumers not alienate the same consumers by pushing stupid PC agendas.

P & G survived the satanic accusation in the 80s. They'll survive this.

fatboy-slim · 2019-08-31T20:17:42+00:00

This is what happens when corporations try to teach morality to their customers.

Hugeknight · 2019-08-31T21:34:39+00:00

Guys if you can't survive without using these 5 bladed razors you can order them off alibaba/aliexpress unbranded, they're all made in China anyway

MethaCat · 2019-08-31T22:10:04+00:00

Plot twist:

This was done by design by our hipster overlords, so now we all have to wear beards.

Lumbersexual... here I come.

[deleted] · 2019-08-31T21:36:50+00:00

I would rather shave with a broken bottle.

lebogglez · 2019-08-31T22:31:28+00:00

I just bought a classic shaving set for about 150€ (at 20% off). The company sent me a mail that they got too many orders and I'll have to wait for 2 weeks, or that I can step away from the contract. I chose to wait :)

SpaceCowboyBop · 2019-09-01T00:08:00+00:00

And the nay-sayers said a boycott would never work on this group. Glad they're getting fucked for their man bashing. I only hope this is the start of more people waking up.

Full article here: https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/08/14/gillettes-political-correctness-backfires/

“P&G reported a net loss of about $5.24 billion, or $2.12 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, due to an $8 billion non-cash writedown of Gillette. For the same period last year,” Reuters explains, “P&G’s net income was $1.89 billion, or 72 cents per share.”

MikeRocksBoat · 2019-08-31T18:27:15+00:00

For fuck's sake! How about a link!? I hate googling shit all the time!

Nystuul · 2019-08-31T18:33:17+00:00

The expression "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Comes to mind. What the hell was the management of the company thinking jumping on board with anti male sentiment publically for a product line that caters to men. Sheer idiocy.

xdrunkagainx · 2019-09-01T08:17:48+00:00

They're really starting to feel it, everything from P&G is on sale at Costco and if you buy $100 worth of their crap you get a $25 Costco gift card. Never seen anything like that before. Keep up the boycott

EndlessPatriotism · 2019-09-01T00:56:45+00:00

Dollar Shave Club Boys. I switched because of the Gillette shit but I'm staying because they're awesome.

nelsonbt · 2019-09-01T01:47:48+00:00

Razors are a commodity. There are fewer brands of oats than there are razors, and oats are shipped in open boxcars.

catchpull · 2019-09-01T08:19:21+00:00

Fuck Gillette. I just got a Barbasol subscription.

arapaima12345 · 2019-08-31T18:07:41+00:00

I hope they crash and burn.

[deleted] · 2019-08-31T18:29:22+00:00

I very rarely believe that a company deserves to go under, but in this case Gillette deserve a scorched earth policy of being put out of business.

aad7990 · 2019-08-31T20:27:17+00:00

Lets keep an eye out for the rebrand so we ca let everyone know to continue boycotting them.

aconsent · 2019-08-31T21:51:33+00:00

never buying gilette or P&G anything - ever!

Have a nice day

Cristoff13 · 2019-08-31T23:23:33+00:00

For the price of 4 Gillete razor cartridges I can buy 20 good quality disposable razors.

peterdukey · 2019-08-31T23:30:03+00:00

Saw an ad on instagram earlier where they were offering a free razor to anyone who'd sign up...

MXRNate77 · 2019-09-01T03:46:36+00:00

I have a TV commercial idea for ‘em-

Clean shaven attorney in court arguing on behalf of his client not getting divorce raped or have his children taken away. Client wins case and custody and they walk out of court clean, close shaves and all smiles.

Morden013 · 2019-09-01T05:29:16+00:00

Gillette, a company run by idiots - losing 8 Billion and not admitting the mistake...

When I read the part about the beards, I died laughing. The men with beards are not walking around like overgrown bushes! They shave, trim the beard and frankly, buy other products like beard-oil /wax/brushes...etc.

I would like to thank Gillette, though - Wilkinson is much better!

cenaluc · 2019-09-01T06:10:33+00:00

They are already dead to me.

iwant2liveinpeace · 2019-09-01T12:23:29+00:00

i hope to see them go bankrupt fully.

Noturtokenblkguy · 2019-09-01T14:25:55+00:00

Good. Let em suffer. Just yesterday I was looking up what they make, to avoid their products. Use to buy head and shoulders and bounty towels. Switched that to store branded shampoo and store brand paper towels.

He’ll, because of there ignorance, I keep a chart of what they make on my phone and before I buy any household products, I check to see if they made it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

vinovladykov · 2019-09-01T15:01:29+00:00

I use a straight razor anyway, closer shave, much cheaper, and faster too

TheGreatSeneca · 2019-09-01T17:47:54+00:00

Pffffft... Gillette will not go anywhere. PG stocks have shown and upward trend for years and are continuing to rise. People will continue buying their products.
