Lifehacker Poll on Shaving - surprisingly high DE numbers (and straights)

[AceByTerror]

Interesting poll results here.

These should be cause for attention by the folks at Gillette. Embrace it people. We're here to stay!

Wow!

There has to be a ton of self-selection bias in that, I'm sure every shave forum member on the planet has voted. There is no way a third of men use a DE. And if 5% of men used a straight I'd eat my hat. The rest of the shavers don't know about it because they don't think about the task at all.

But still, pretty impressive numbers for almost 10,000 respondents!

No option to select multiple types.
Still, it shows awareness is growing.

Voted.... Agreed results might be skewed.

I agree. There must be a bit of bias in the poll.

+1

People that use carts and goo don't read articles about shaving. Unless they're thinking about making the switch at least.

Still cool though. I know I'll try to convince anyone that'll actually listen to me ramble on.
