Gillette Fusion Ad?

joejoem

Have you seen this add? Its basically two guys giving eachother christmas presents and one guy gives the other a gillette fusion razor. I think the dialog is "Youve given him everything, why not try give him this, this christmas..."

The first guy then walks into the bathroom as the other guy is shaving.

Anyhow, is this Irelands first gay advert? And also, do gay people get eachother **** presents like razors? If that was me, I would *sooooooo* bitch slap him!

it's a father and son ad so my guess is it's not a gay advert.

I saw the ad, and I have yet to be convinced that it was a father/son ad - purely cos it looks like theres +/- 10 years between them. But anyhoo.. if my son got me that I'd smack him round the place

A jihad on Gillette and their kind. Their R&D department must have a cushy job, just add a blade or two every year, and charge silly money for it.
Then their marketing asshats carpet bomb your television with ads featuring David Beckham (:rolleyes:), Ferraris and jet fighters. WTF? Do they think we're all 7 years old or something?

Tell you this much, the fusion blades are the best ever for a close shave.

However they are insanely expensive, and the shaving cream for it is a total scam. Very expensive and when you use the cream/gel it gunks up the blade faster meaning you have to spend more.

I found just using handwash soap and the fusion blade has the same effect as the cream but doesn't gunk the blades so they last much longer and there is a difference of 10+ euros between the shaving gel and the handwash.

the ad is gay?? well this tread has started comparing grooming trends and creams and soap and the like....this tread is GAY!!

This thread is FABulous!

better then the add I saw for it last night.

Over the top crappy computer effects and two men in white coats (must be super secret scientists!) pumping what I guess is meant to be brightly coloured power gunk into a machine that creates...GILLETTE FUSION.


*kill me now*

How they got that from a razor I do not know.

If it was really gay would the men not be shaving each other

Thats what they start doing in the ad after 11pm. And I won't tell you where the razor handle ends up :eek:

The fusion ad with what looks like a freakin' particle accelerator is far more ridiculous TBH. I guess the more hi-tech they can pass these things off as being, the more they can charge for 'em.

I use disposable razors that cost me about 2 euro. Get a close shave, too.

And then drop the quality of their other blades so that those using them before "upgrading" to the new blades certainly do get "the best ever shave" from the new ones. Scamming b*stards!

Easy, you shave with their blades, your boss is soo impressed that he gives you a promotion and you're soon rolling around in ferraris and jet fighters!All because of Gilettes "best ever shave"

I always thought the new ad was supposed to be father and son, next time I see it though this thread will have put a whole new perception on things!

Here here to that man. And excellent use of "asshats" might I add.

I totally resent paying the extortionate prices Gillette charge (16 giros for 4 blades the other day:eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: ) but I tried disposables, wilkinson swords etc and always felt and looked like I had shaved with a broken bottle... in the dark. So I went back to Gillette. Surely there is a cost/comfort middle ground..??

I think the middle groung, for me personally, is the Wilikinson Sword Quattro. It's probably the best your going to get non-Gilette. Having said that I don't find that much difference between them.

If I'm thinking of the same ad then I thought it was father and son as well.

Many men's lub lives have improved dramatically since Gillette (or another brand? I do not recall) raised the post-shave caress from obscure fetish interest to a bread-and-butter move. However, for such macho ads, the product name is quite girly - I would have gone for Jak sth or other for men's and Gillette for women's. :shrugs:

To be fair they have recently added vibration...

Wow, the innovation!

P.S. It is a gay ad, btw. In the full length version the young guy sticks the handle of the razor up the old guys bum and sets it to vibrate.

kind-of-on-topic...

does anyone know if theres anyway to make yourself grow facial hair quicker, and better quality facial hair?

I wait 5 days and all I got is fluff.

A good quality fertilizer is recommended.:)

Dont be in a hurry to get stubble. Once you get it theres no getting rid of it, except with the fusion of coarse!
