Gillette went on n a tear against men a couple years ago. Their commercials on TV and various other ads aggressively framed all men as perpetrators of wrongful or terrible acts. It was called “toxic masculinity. I stopped buying their products and have not looked back. Haven’t noticed much from them since.

I've seen enough damage done by toxic masculinity that I applauded the ads. It didn't apply to me or my 3 boys because we don't do that. If you think it framed 'all men' then I don't think you were paying attention.
[i]"We believe in the best in men." "We need to hold [b]other[/b] men accountable. To say the right thing, to act the right way. [b]Some already are."[/b][/i]
That's not framing all men as toxic. Which bit didn't you understand?

@Angelogaggi Respect people. Treat women with respect. Don't resort to violence to solve problems.

Buy your razors at a dollar store. Brand names cost too much.
@SW-User Not good advice for everyone, but if it works for you, cool.

Thank you to everyone for voting and commenting. It’s clear I made the right choice by buying alternatives. As for Gillette, they can keep on staying woke and going broke!
@sdave455 You’re proud of boycotting a company for deciding to [b]promote[/b] respecting women. [b]That’s[/b] the bottom line here.
I never understood why those recent commercials bothered any men who had women in their lives that they cared about. The funny thing is, at one point [b]Gillette[/b] used to have some really sexist commercials towards women. And I’d assumed this was them trying to make up for that.

Stop trying to support a cause through consumerism. I use what works best. That's it. Just use what you know performs best for you.

I hear that Gillette was having staffing issues during covid. They had to call in Schick.

their stuff is garbage anyways, all this multi bladed, chinese made razors, refills that cost a fortune, etc.... ridiculous.

all catered to soyboys with peach fuzz

I'm a masculine man, I have real facial hair, I'll stick to my quality german made straight razor and safety razor...

I can't let my mach 3 go. Sorry. Seems like a small controversy anyway.
@Jessmari Basically what they were promoting was a departure from hating women. Not sure why either sex would have a problem with that.

@bijouxbroussard oh I get it and understand the intension. I have no issue with it. I think it was also kind of trendy at the time as well.

Razor still works great though. 🤷‍♀️
@Jessmari They make a great product. 👍🏽

I'm a toxic male. I don't use Gillette products. I don't shave. I haven't bought a razor since I left the Armed Forces in the early 80s.
I like fusion razors. However i was curious about straight razors which is used for shaving head
