[Masterblaster]

Free - I like Free. It's my favorite price.

I know it's blasphemy here. But for fun and adventure you can get a FREE Gillette proglide razor here:

I signed up for one just so that I can try it out.

I'll let you know how it goes. They say it takes a couple of weeks to ship.

 

[seabs]

I can't turn down free. Thanks. Takes 8-9 business days.

 

[gordolindsay]

Ok, I will get one....so my wife can shave her legs with it...

 

[the beav]

Thanks--I joined up as well. I used a Sensor for 15+ years before finding DE's and so I'll be interested to see how it compares to the 2-bladed Sensor.

 

[Speedwell68]

No fair. These things are always US only. I'd only use the free blades to see what it is like, just to say I had tried it.

 

[Speedwell68]

Thanks--I joined up as well. I used a Sensor for 15+ years before finding DE's and so I'll be interested to see how it compares to the 2-bladed Sensor.

Didn't you ever try the Sensor 3?

 

[tom66]

thanks, i'll give her a try.

 

[Little Joe from Mexico]

Ok, I will get one....so my wife can shave her legs with it...

Same here.

 

[Robxcarlson]

Signed up for mine... Thanks! If nothing else, we'll save some poor suckers from being drawn into the marketing frenzy and hype.

Now I know no one here is planning on using this razor long term, but I looked into the cart prices. The "power" carts are $3.75 USD, and the manual are slightly cheaper.

The entire reason I discovered DE shaving was because I didn't want to pay for the carts.

 

[Slivovitz]

I don't think I'm getting a free one.

I did try to sign up for it, not at the site in the OP, but at the Gillette YouTube site. It timed out after I filled in all the information. Never gave me any confirmation. However, when I tried it again, it told me that my email address was already on file, so I don't know what the status is.

If I get one free, that's fine. It won't kill me to try it once. If I don't, that's fine too.

Have any of you actually read that agreement gillette has you sign to get that razor for free. My head was swimming. That contract made me feel dirty. I got done putting a few pieces of contact info down for the free razor then read the agreement and promptly ran like he**. It was about as "fully loaded" as the Microsoft EULA agreement. (You and everything you are for all of time, and after that if it is ever discovered that there is an after that)

Yeah, got down to the the licensing agreement and promptly closed the window. I'm all for free stuff, but come on....I'm not acknowledging that contractual tripe.

 

[Rev. Nathan]

I got in. That sign-up was pretty rigorous for a typical free product. Thanks nonetheless!

 

[whitete]

Thanks for the link! I'll give it a try eventhough I'm very happy with the Hydro 3.

 

[Allen Quinn]

Sure, I'll take some of Gillette's money... they've taken enough of mine over the years.

Also, I used the comment section of the form to let them know that I'm happily using a DE razor that they manufactured half a century ago, and that I suspect it'll kick the ProGlide's butt

I went ahead and signed up, because I am not going to be hanging out at the Gillette site like I do here, and really, all the content we post here becomes B&B IP, so what's the difference? They are just doing a major CYA, in the "Internet Law" arena, which is a little like the old west right now, not a lot of precedents. Probably a JR legal clerk looking for points wrote that. What I had a problem with is this:

material or content that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, hate speech, whether directed at an individual or group, and whether based upon the race, sex, creed, national origin, religious affiliation, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or language of such individual or group or that is otherwise unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership, corporation, or political body;

I hate all political bodies, can I still have a free razor?

(for US residents), without regard to its choice of law provisions. You agree that any disputes directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the provincial or federal courts located in Toronto, Ontario (for Canadian residents), or Hamilton County, Ohio (for US residents).

Honestly, it's all pretty standard stuff. Don't use their service to post anything illegal, unethical, or offensive, don't impersonate someone else, you can't be a paid shill for some company/product, don't use content that you don't have the right to reproduce.

Also, you grant P&G the right to use anything you submit on their website in any way that they see fit, which is exactly what pretty much every other web site on the internet requires that you agree to when you sign up.

Thanks for letting us know, but I'll pass on the future Gillette junk mail.

The agreement is just a sign of the times we live in. Our sue-happy friends and people who sue others for a business have seen to it that this is what we must do now.

I read the agreement again that I had agreed to to get the FREE razor.

I don't have a problem giving up my "right" to hateful and derogatory posts on their sight.

I don't have a problem with them using any of my comments for promotional use. Somehow though I don't believe they will use my comments because they may not be so favorable

I couldn't see anything else in there that was objectionable.

And I get a new toy to try out.

Per the nearly $4 cartridges. I don't intend on buying any as I have a 2-year supply of DE blades. And even if I bought a few cartridges a month at $4 a pop, I would probably save money compared to what I have been spending on all of the DE gear I have acquired and will continue to acquire. For me, the wet shaving as a way to save money is a myth. I just keep buying stuff. The more I have the more I want. I know, I know it's kind of sick isn't it !

For those of you getting the razor "for the wife" I say. Oh sure - You just want a toy like the rest of us. However if you truly are going to use it on the wife, then that vibrating feature may come in handy as you move up the leg to the "bikini" area.
