I figured that you gents would be interested in this. My cell phone rings this afternoon and the number calling is odd, only 4 digits. I pick it up, and on the other end is a woman with an Indian accent. She is doing a survey about shaving habits, and I figured I'd indulge her. They asked mostly about the Proglide, but there was an entire bevy of questions. They asked how I rated their proglide (pretty decently), if I thought it was a good value for the money (nope), if I liked the trimming blade on the back (nope, never use it), etc. It seemed like they repeated plenty of questions with different wording, and I parroted the 'proglide carts are too expensive' line a whole bunch of times. I figured the survey would last for 5 minutes, but after I got off the phone I saw it was a 25 minute call! I hope those call center people aren't paid by the completed survey, as I doubt many Americans would have the patience to finish the survey.
One series of questions asked about the razor I was currently using. She asked out of the last ten times I shaved, how many times had I used the proglide. I replied zero. She asked what brand of razor I had been using, and I replied that I was using a double edge razor. She asked if it was a Gillette DE, and I told her it was a Merkur.
That seemed to be a major stumbling block. I don't speak German and probably mispronounced the name, and this lady most likely is in India and English isn't her first language.
