WSJ: Gillette "cutting" prices of razors
The wags at the Wall Street Journal say that Gillette is "bleeding" market share!

thanks for the links and the story.the article can also be found at
"Among the items getting a price cut: cartridges for the Fusion razor that features five blades in a single head and a special trimmer on the back for hard-to-reach areas. A four-pack that was selling for around $19.50 will now go for closer to $15. On average, prices will fall by 12%, P&G says."
thats a free big mac for me!!

There had to be a limit to what P&G could charge for men's shaving. It's still hardly a bargain.

I don't think they could ever reduce the price to get me to go back to those multi-blade monstrosities. I gave up when they reached the 3 blade cartridge and went back to my old double edge. I put in a new blade every 5 or 6 shaves. Costs me almost nothing. Big Mac my foot. I save enough for a decent dinner out.
Re: WSJ: Gillette "cutting" prices of razors
Hello everyone, I finally found an active forum dedicated to shaving.
I urgently need (2 weeks left) to choose a gift for my father on his birthday. He has a neat little beard that he loves very much and which he carefully looks after. He has a huge number of all kinds of ointment jars and many things I do not even know how to call)
The bottom line is that he trims his beard by hand using Mom's hairdresser's scissors (I`ll show kind of them in attachment) and it takes a very long time. So I thought maybe he should be given a trimmer?
I did not naturally ask him, that he would not understand what I'm going to give him)
Therefore, I appeal to you. Maybe I do not understand something and properly trim the beard with scissors? Or with a trimmer, it will still be more convenient?
I've googled it a bit and found a few review of the beard trimmers, like these https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/beard-trimmer. But I have no idea how to determine whether they are good or not. Please advise good, not necessarily from the five that I threw off as an example above.
Thank you in advance)

Re: WSJ: Gillette "cutting" prices of razors
Thank you, there are scissors and different sorts of gift sets, but it's interesting to me whether should I give him a trimmer. Or give him a set with special scissors for a beard to stop him using mother's?)brothers wrote:Here's a website you might want to visit. https://www.beardbrand.com/products/bea ... g-scissorsAkselVerg wrote:Sorry, I hadn`t not found the topic dedicated to trimers, so I asked here)
