Kults Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Here we are, one year later. Looks like it really worked out for them...

Kults Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Quote Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) remains committed to the shaving category via its well-known Gillette brand. The consumer products giant said Tuesday it took an $8 billion write-down on the carrying value of Gillette’s goodwill in the most recent quarter. P&G pinned the blame on currency devaluations since it bought Gillette for $57 billion back in 2005. The company also cited ongoing tough competition in the razor blade category. Huh..funny no mention of ads pandering to a tiny minority at the expense of insulting a large segment of your consumer base. Who knew that could have a negative effect on the bottom line..oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ok, but did it? Because they've also faced shit like dollar shave club and the drug store brand name replacement cartidges that fit their razor. I know as soon as I saw those shits come out I was like fuck paying a huge markup to Gillette or Schick who charge like $20+ for 5 razors. Didn't I see them going a step further in their ads since that 1st controversial ad? Will their transgender shaving commercial be the best a man can get? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollar Shave Club been around. That commercial is the only time they were in the News last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 When I'm court ordered to strip a trans lady's testicles of hair, Gillette is my razor of choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
