Has anyone tried this new gillete razor it even has batteries!

[HelenDev]

It looks somewhere between a sports car and an expensive pair of trainers.

I don't think it's aimed at me though - it's not pink.

I still use good old fashioned napalm in the morning. Does the job in a flash, plus I love the smell.

The marketing on this cracks me up. "Feel the power . . . the best a man can get." I'd appreciate it if you bought it and let me know if it makes you feel more like a man?

[whoisgregg]

I originally misread the title of this post to be:

The New Gillette MP3Player Razor

It could play the music from the gillette commercials! While you are shaving, be reminded that you are getting the best a man can get!

[Macguru]

Funny part is this toy cannot be found on the right URI by searching his Brand/make/product on major search engines.

I wont mention niche distibutors who acted like remoras against this Flashy shark skin.

Flash, the worst Gillette could get... :)

[knighty]

Gillette actually do make the best razors a man get get

Any marketing ploy/copy slogan is laughable if you examine it closely enough, however truly successful marketing links the slogan to the product which Gillette do amazingly well.

PS MAc - do a search on google for m3power and you get a listing for it in the top ten

[Macguru]

>>you get a listing for it in the top ten

You get zilch. URI is :

Ahh, Gillette - 99% marketing, 1% product. I mean their ads are straight out of the 1950s, squared-jawed guys driving fast cars surrounded by simpering girls just itching to... well, kiss their clean-shaven faces. About as subtle as a brick in the face, and their products seems to get more and more caricatural (is that a word?) with each over-hyped generation.

All in all, rather pathetic. It's probably a decent razor, but that's only incidental.

[SlowMove]

I think it was invented by Dr Seus

[Fiver]

You have to admit, that's a nice little subscription by brand loyalty market to dominate.

all men everywhere who don't wear a beard. nice.

[chadmg]

so i guess no one's actually USED this razor yet. i'll get it so my electric toothbrush and flosser can have another friend. is microsoft aware that they stole the xbox colors?

[Robino]

So, anyone actucally use it?

[HelenDev]

So, anyone actucally use it?

I'd try it, but I'm worried it might make me feel more like a man...

[Macguru]

>>make me feel more like a man...

ROTFLMAO ... foaming!

[crashomon]

Ahh, just use an electric shaver, they're just as good and you don't have to worry about nicking yourself.

Me? I use mine to shave my head daily.

Its a norelco, not sure of the model number, but very sturdy and I go through about 1 every four years or so.

But, yeah, the Gillette marketing campaign is pure macho garbage... whats next? 12 blades with self-foaming and cleaning? ack!

[trillianjedi]

so my electric toothbrush and flosser

You can get an electric flosser?

[pmac]

I gotta have one.

[Macguru]

Get one of those [refreshoe.com] first! ;)

[chadmg]

You don't have an electric flosser?!?! Where have you been?
Oral-B Hummingbird [oralb.com]

I might need the m3power razor simply to counter the unmanliness of the electric flosser

:/

[Timotheos]

No worries HelenDev. This one's for you...

>>You don't have an electric flosser?!?! Where have you been?

Beeing a responsible consumer, I am really upset by this mkt trend.

Is the joy of consuming your own battery-operated-vibrating-laser-powered-blackhead-puller worth dumping all this toxic waste (dead batteries, plastic, steel)in your dust bin?

Is this planet disposable, for the sake of profits pulled from abused consumer's joy of owning the latest ugly vibrating shaver gadget?

If you ever consider trying such gizmoes, it's about time you throw your TV set trought the window. Your just The Matrix dead meat, and so are future generations.

Sorry I got serious.

[chadmg]

Macguru, I don't really own an electric flosser. But I do believe that there is some good to these products. Take someone who never flosses, like me for example. If this product helped me to be a regular flosser and save me from some false teeth and dental bills than I would consider the product pretty useful. If this razor actually gives you a smoother less irritating shave, I would buy it in a second. I love my mach3. But then again I love my TV, I'm a marketer's wet dream, and I hate Macs.

Well, for what it's worth, my electric toothbrush has a rechargeable battery, and the replaceable brush heads put less plastic in the landfill than throwing away a whole toothbrush every three months... which is the same reason I pay an arm-and-a-leg for refill cartridges for the mach3 razor I bought: those teeny cartridges are a lot less trash than the all-in-one disposable razors. If the electric tootbrush base unit and the mach3 handle last long enough, the total trash reduction should be pretty significant.

I also have a couple sets of rechargeable AA batteries for little household conveniences that don't have built-in rechargeables.

[pmac]

Mac, you crack me up.

:-p

[Macguru]

It's what everybody tells me since they let me out. ;-)

Never say such dangerous things that could be misinterpreted by the computer monitor. Last time I checked, TV sets and computer monitors are part of the same union...

There are others who would go further than this and have turned this belief into a philosophical school [www31.brinkster.com]. I can personally vouch for the general accuracy of the Clark-Trimble experiments ;).
