Nothing wrong with it in itself, but I have no idea why a razor company needs to try to be so progressive. Is it simply just to get in the news or do they really think this will meaningfully change the world?


There's no such thing as progressive advertising. Like that Burger King commercial about mental illness, it's all to manipulate younger people to generate a profit.

What a sordid, exploitative ad.

Gillette is just trolling for more controversy at this rate.

1. The ad is fine, there's nothing wrong with it.

2. Gillette got a ton of attention from their previous ad, it definitely gave them a nice profit margin. This ad will also be effective.

folk with afro-textured hair can't do it without the shaved areas looking like verdun a couple weeks later - hell, sometimes happens even when shaving normally

razor bump ointments and the like help, but it's always been a challenge; i just stick with a beard these days

MtF trans persons should get razors for free until science can stop hairs growing from a body that's biologically male but "feels" female

Just my 2c, bigits come at me

Cisgender women grow body and facial hair, too, y'know >_>

This is a great ad. Anyone who thinks it's pandering is honestly just lowkey transphobic.

Oh yeah I guess if your facial hair curls more itd be a bigger issue. That would suck. I generally just trim my facial hair even not having to worry about that.

There's a number of things. The stupid way the dad was teaching how to shave for starters.

All advertising serves the purpose of advertising. What people seemed surprised by is just how large a population is all for trans folk.

I see nothing wrong with the commercial personally though I think Gilette is playing with fire with all these "woke" commercials. It's like they are trying to cause another shitstorm. Maybe they are? I don't know what they're thinking.

It gets them a lot of attention (from both the supporters and the people outraged) and makes people talk about their brand. THAT is the true advertising.

I think Gilette is confused about who their primary demographic is.


People who need to shave? Remember, Trump lost the popular vote, and most Dems have no issue with trans.

i agree with your first statement

but what does this topic have to do with trump

Everything has to do with Trump.
If you ain't bitching about Trump 24/7 then you are a Trump supporter.

question... is this "daddy teaching son to shave" a real thing? I mean it's even ridiculous, like "oh yes, you're doing fine!!! don't freak out!!"

It's ridiculous. I mean I am VERY close to my dad and he taught me many of those "dad and son things", but never how to shave. I mean, the shaving cream can has instructions...

Shaving cream? Hot shower water and steam are the business.

virtue signaling is good marketing I guess

it gets people to think your company is ethical while at the same time having people talk about you

like if they just had a regular commercial aka like ones they used to do, CE likely wouldn't have a thread about it

however, it is ironic that the people they want to appeal to with such a commercial are the same who would protest wall street and big corps

such is our modern society I guess

Wait, wait, I know... its because you said the FtM trans had the balls to do it when they dont actually physically have balls, thus making it an offensive and transphobic statement or something like that. Gotta love the mods here!
