What's new

Gillette must be getting desparate!

I haven't been online much recently. My wife and I had our first baby daughter last Wednesday morning. We are both delighted and, frankly, shaving and anything else I normally do has been the last thing on my mind!

Anyway, one of the things about being on paternity leave is that you get to see all the things that happen during the day that you miss while at work.

Yesterday we had a knock at the door. It was a young woman in a bright orange coat. She was from Gillette and was running a 'razor exchange'. Basically she was going door-to-door asking people if they wanted to swap their old used razors for a brand new Gillette Fusion razor!

I told her that we didn't have any razors like that in our house. She tried to persuade me to take one by saying they were very expensive to buy in the shops. I said I know!

I didn't have the heart to tell her that she'd knocked on the door of The Traditional Shaving Company!
 
Ha! You should have asked to see her Old used razors...maybe she had some sweet vintage in her napsack! lol
 
Congrats on the new Baby! Give it a few weeks and once the sleep deprivation really sets in, you should have no problem being snarky to solicitors. :001_smile
 
I didn't have the heart to tell her that she'd knocked on the door of The Traditional Shaving Company!

Thank you for sparing her that information. No doubt, the next knock on your door would have been from a P&G attorney presenting you with a buyout offer!
 
Congratulations on the new baby! Word has it that those flailing arms are good for whipping up lather. :wink:

As to the door-to-door razor exchange, maybe it's Gillette's sneaky way of getting rid of all the old tried-and-true DE razors - exchange them for a Fusion and they disappear forever? :mad3: :biggrin:
 
Congratulations with your newborn. That does put everything else into perspective. I can imagine that a free fusion isn't breaking any hearts here!
