If you are a man who is upset about the Gillette commercial, you should smile more. You are so much prettier when you smile.

if you are a man posting that joke you should eat cyanide

ums why you gotta do me like that man why

haha sorry man u made me look in the mirror abt myself I had to lash out

poor shaving technique fyi

i am not entirely sure what cause i might have to be offended that procter & gamble are using their corporate clout to speak out against toxic masculinity

having said that maybe the ad is offensive in some way, i haven't watched it because seriously it's an ad, i go out of my way to avoid ads not to watch them

it's unlikely to affect my consumer behavior either way considering i don't even know what products are owned by procter & gamble these days.

similarly, i admit that i've never been much for the lounge lizards but suggesting that john lurie eat cyanide... well, i don't know, that's probably just how people converse on twitter, right?

wtf are you talking about

rush's post was perfectly intelligible, idgi.

he's not offended by an ad that no one on this thread is offended by but also it's an ad he hasn't even seen because he doesn't watch ads and he wanted to share he doesn't know what products P&G makes and doesn't like the lounge lizards and thinks maybe that comment was offensive but maybe it was ok because he also doesn't know about how people converse on twitter. so basically a lot of words to tell us absolutely nothing. to what end?

intelligible if your expectation for communication from ppl is words that make grammatical sense but convey no information

welcome to ilx mordy, people post their thoughts here

sometimes they're not entirely connected or cogent!

please help me understand why this is upsetting

who's more foolish the fool or the fool who complains about him

I'll have you all know I bought store brand Mach 3 razors today in protest

(of Gillette's obscene prices).

I stopped shaving again

(out of sheer laziness).

I got a lot of body parts lasered because of laziness and boredom and maybe six months will go by and I will randomly look down and see like, 4 super long hairs on a shin.

boys wrestling on the grass should not necessarily be what we mean by toxic masculinity

It looked more like helicopter parenting.

I thought it was supposed to be bullying.

Helicopter bullying.

bullying is a slur

m'lady

lol good spot

Mach 3 blades are way overpriced, at least we can all agree on that.

I thought everyone had moved on to the fusion?

The fusion (5 blade) was released when I started shaving and I’ve never known anything else. Still use it to clean up the neck even though I have a scruffy beard now.

I'm a Dorco man, myself.

The fusion is less toxically masculine because it’s like cobalt blue and orange and is marketed as being safer.

shaving blades are a racket and what they do should be illegal. I pay $40 for a 12-pack "refill" and feel like the dumbest man on Earth every time I do. I don't give a shit how "woke" they are.

I tried switching from Dorco down to some double-edge safety razor business, under the promise that you can buy like 100 blades for ten bucks or whatever. Sliced the shit out of myself for a couple weeks and gave up.

The Fusion is even more overpriced iirc?

Seriously though, Dorco is like $40 for a 24 pack and imo competes well against the stuff you can buy in stores.

lidl shark razor is fine

clean it with an old toothbrush

or yknow whoop for adverts

i bought a peanut once and it has worked to keep my beard kempt for over a decade if u don't require a clean shaven face i can highly recommend

Yeah, the store brand ones I bought today were $9 (CAD) for a 5-pack as opposed to the $22 they were charging for the Gillettes. Hoping I don't shred my face. 2xp

the fusion is more expensive but it's what i've always used.

well yknow are u willing to change or not

in the side by side it's definitely more playful, more glam. the mac 3 has a rubber grip handle with tire treads. this actually seems more functional but it is also repressed.

dmac 3 also fits that latter description

Any razor you like, as long as it isn’t str8

good morrow, b'ladies

I've been happy with Dorco. I did Dollar Shave Club until I realized they were just reselling Dorcos. plus go on Slickdeals there are always some Dorco coupon codes

What is dorco? I get my razors at cvs

Still the greatest Onion op-ed

Hoping I don't shred my face.

So far, so good.
