.... when the Gillette marketing dolly sidles up to me and says "How do you shave?"
"Actually I wetshave daily using a Gillette razor, why's that then?"
GMD: "Can I interest you in the new Gillette Fusion PowerGlide at all?"
me: "Not really..."
GMD: "This <marketing bollocks that I missed> new Fusion PowerGlide gives you the best and closest ever shave"
me: "I shave the way I do, because every other way has given me massive irritation. Tell me, how many times have you shaved your face in the last 12 months that makes you the expert?"
GMD: "erm"
me: "Never mind, I last shaved at about 9 last night, using a 90 year old razor, a single blade to an antique pattern & soap to a 120 year old recipe. Have a feel of my cheek and tell me what's wrong with my shave."
GMD: "wow"
me: "Anyway, at around 5p per shave - including aftershave, heating the water & laundering the towel, I think your £3 per cartridge might just work out more expensive and irritate my face into the bargain"
That's when SWMBO said "come on, let's go"
