The whole thing is just an advertising stunt, someone else has the manufacturing and logistics of actually making and shipping the product. If it tanks, it's only cost a few commercials. I estimate that they have spent less than 100k on the whole media blitz. And the reported pre-order numbers indicate they've already seen $2,000,000 come in.

It wreaks for the usual (((obvious))) reasons, but I bet we will find somebody playing both sides on this one.

I guess it’s past time for me to invest in those razors that were used in the 60’s. The ones that have the disposable two sided blade.

Bic and Schick seem like they keep their mouth’s shut and sell razors. I don’t watch commercials so maybe someone that does can confirm.

An old Gillette handle can be found for only a few bucks. I highly recommend Feather blades.

I thought the point here was to not support woke companies.

"Gillette Makes Waves With Controversial New Ad Highlighting 'Toxic Masculinity'"

Sure it's a petty move on my part that doesn't make a difference, but my goal is to not send my money to faggots. Plus I feel dirty inside when I patronize known subversives.

I don't think Gillette makes much money if I buy a 40-80 year old handle from an antiques shop or ebay, and those things last forever.
