While I'm no fan of Gillette's current line of shaving products (software and hardware), they just posted a video to YouTube that actually offers some of the advice traditional shavers have been advocating for years. It definitely more "soft sell" than previous commercials I've seen. Maybe someone over there is finally reigning in some of the more rediculous claims the Marketing Dept. has come up with.

New Gillette Video
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the link - an interesting video.
I can't help but notice that most of the stokes that guy used had a little "flick" at the end of them. Pretty sure I would slash myself if I tried that - with any razor!
I also notice that he did what looked like modified slide and "J" hooks when he shaved - very subtle, but there.

We've been getting some Fusion ads over here, where Tiger, Thierry, and, umm, some tennis bloke (Federer) keep knocking Mach IIIs out of people's hands.
I don't know how Federer got the gig, as he must be one of the least/worst shaved people on the planet!
And I have to say, if Tiger Woods hits a golf ball though my bathroom window, he will be selecting his next club from some orifice other than the one in the top of his bag.

Those who design "Fool Proof" systems often underestimate the ability of fools.
