South Jersey Bills Fan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Guys, this may be too petty, but do any others avoid buying gillette products so that you are not feeding in to the evil empire? As I stand in the grocery store, I look at my choices, and I get sick when I see gillette and realize that Marcia is going to receive a lot of that dough. I'm not even sure if Kraft still owns Gillette, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is at least on the board. Anyway, this is a call to boycott ALL gillette products!!

PromoTheRobot Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think you are taking things a bit too far. Gillette doesn't own the Pats*. They're just a local company putting their name on a stadium. No different than Rich products (formerly) naming our stadium. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yes. We should all avoid Gillette, but not so much because of their connection with the Pats*. The real evil empire is Proctor & Gamble. They bought out Gillette in 2005 and they're known for putting poisons in all their products (*see Triclosan) as well as being Satanic. Also, do we really need a razor with 5 blades!!!!!? I recommend Bic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I use a Gillette Fusion. Always have and I won't change now because 30 cents of my purchase may go toward the naming rights for tne Patriots stadium.

ACor58 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I stopped buying Gillette products for that exact reason. But then I realized that Schick razors are **** so I bought the Fusion, which is a damn good razor - but that is the only Gilette product that I will buy.

Captain Caveman Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've been shaving with a double edge razor using non-Gillette blades, a brush and soap for about a year and a half. A great shave for a lot less money (after the initial outlay.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great shave for a lot less money (after the initial outlay.) This is a very smart way to shave, as long as the soap isn't loaded with chemicals. For best results, use the double blades without "lubricating strips" because they can also contain Triclosan. When triclosan mixes with tap water it creates chloroform gas, which is a carcinogen. Look it up. Read the labels. Almost every Gillette product is loaded with it. Bob Kraft is trying to kill us all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google search reveals he is on the Board of Directors of The Kraft Group and Viacom. So, we can at least blame him for MTV sucking.

Doc Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Go to dorcousa.com and order a 6 blade razor for a lot less than the fusion, and it's just as good, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Kraft is trying to kill us all!! double edge blades don't have anything as far as lubrication, they just get loaded right into the razor. this is my setup: http://www.tradererazors.com/ http://www.bullgooseshaving.net/perabl.html http://www.bullgooseshaving.net/dhaarshsoinb.html You can get razors and soap for much less, but I splurged since I'm saving a ton on cartridges.

BBeck/cuba Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 shaving tips aside this practice of boycotting sponsor brands has been around for a long time in NASCAR. I wont shop at Lowes because they sponsor Jimmie. Its very common for fans to be so loyal to their team that they dont use products from the opponets camp. That being said I will most likely continue using my Gillette razors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemedic Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 To all, In order to make your razors stay sharp longer, DRY THE BLADE on a towel after use. I don't know why that works but I'm on month 4 with mine. Saves an azz-load of money at $20.00 a refill pack Carry on GO BILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
