FYI: It seems Gillette is recycling old razors of any brand. They pay for shipping. What do you think about shipping Gillette our non-Gillette razors as a protest?

To recycle the razors, people can sign up through Terracycle, a company known for recycling hard-to-recycle materials, and when they have a shipment ready, download a shipping label and send it in so the materials can be sterilized, shredded, and recycled into products like bike racks, park benches, and pet food bowls.

They're selling these to a recycler. I doubt they are running this program at a loss.

And when you boycott, you do not engage with a company (except maybe to lodge a protest), your idea is to end the boycott and let them profit from you another way.

IMO boycotts and protests are mostly virtue signalling and accomplish nothing.
