Mums buying for their first-time-shaving sons maybe? A whole generation indoctrinated. There’s also the array of canned goo they make. Women could easily choose that for their men.
We killed the golden goose (aka DE shaving is a hipster fad)

And also, if ads are directed to people already buying the product, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of advertising? Maybe to prompt those who already buy to buy MORE, I don’t know.Would this ad make people buy more?
Apparently the Gillette arm of P&G made a USD 8 billion loss last financial year. People are blaming the ad, but mostly I think it’s due to hipsters turning to DE

And you're not a horrible person according
To who ???
I would guess the answer too be, according too your biggest admirer,
Who is most likely you.
I'm going with No.
Defeat the purpose? I just said it’s 90% the purpose. To retain people not to have them buy more. Also I never said it was effective. In fact I said it wasn’t.And also, if ads are directed to people already buying the product, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of advertising?

Did your mother buy your first razor? Mine didn’t. I wouldn’t think many do. That sounds odd.

Or less people are shaving. Hitting home with clippers and the look of a 3 day growth. Makes more sense to me personaly
No shave November is getting to be huge.

Did you interpret my post as an attack? Your post is very defensive. A common trait of the soy generation is playing the victim. Just sayin’.
I actually started shaving with a DE which I stole from my Dad!
Well to solve this riddle we must know who bought your dad the razor? His wife or his mum? Or did he steal it from his father.
Ok? I think you’re trying to call me a name or something? Idk?
I don’t feel like a victim. Who is the “soy generation”? I think I might be too old to be included.
Someone bought it. Inquiring minds....

No? You’re again sensing an attack when there there wasn’t one?
Put a few hipsters, or college students, in a room and ask them about their attitudes towards toxic masculinity. You'll get an answer. And that answer will be predicated on the fact that it's being observed. Then ram that commercial down their throats and stand them infront of a Gillette display in the local supermarket. Will you get the same response when no one is looking? Apparently not. Smart social researchers have long used projective techniques etc. to get around the subjects' desire to come up with the right answers.
Big part of P&G's problem seems to be that marketing is in the hands of true believers. They are more concerned with changing the world that with making money. Poor fools do not seem to understand that the two usually go together.
Exactly. Most of those affected never even tweeted in anger. They just went on with their lifes, but without Gillette. Or that much Gillette.
It's so easy. Dollar Shave Club, Phillips, Palmolive. Plenty of alternatives.
Since married women do a lot of buying of men's products, I have a hunch that married women, those straight women who not only choose to live with a man but also care enough about him to buy him foam, did not like the commercial either. Guess what, maybe straight women like masculinity in a man. Maybe they do not want to see him using a product they have come to assocoate with so called beta cucks?
And what mom wants a soyboy son to scared to talk to girls? After all, they normally want grandchildren.
Honestly, I really feel sorry for if those are the kinds of men you associate with or had as role models. None of the men I grew up with, nor any of the men I associate with were or are like that at all. And I can assure you that the men I grew up with were, "manly men".
Wow, there’s ad hominem all up in this joint.
Yeah, time for me to bow out. I am taking this personally when there really isn't any reason to do so.
I just don't like advertising that insults anybody. There is no need for it.
I apologize to Rigeldust and Fhalden.
Gents let’s bring this back to an on topic and civil discussion.
