I wonder how much what are now vintage Gillettes would have cost relatively when they were what the majority used ... Also the relative cost of blades, etc.? I would not be surprised if at the time blades were quite costly as carts are now. Of course I may be completely wrong, but my initial googling hasn't revealed much.
I think a lot of it is down to not having been tutored in shaving right from the beginning, so when we start we chop ourselves up with the basic carts and goo. If we had the right technique to begin with we wouldn't have got into this whole business of spending large sums of moolah.

Today I used a Bic 1 and some Nivea Gel. A decent shave but I'm afraid to say there was something lacking. Ah yes ... Theatre!
You need to get yourself a fancy stainless handle and whip that gel on with a Chinese badger.
maybe. but the point is i don't need to be patronized by a multibillion dollar brand which should stick trying (and failing) to make good and not overpriced razors.My masculinity isn't fragile enough to be dented by an advert.
The Gillette Fusion is a very good and quite reasonably priced razor.maybe. but the point is i don't need to be patronized by a multibillion dollar brand which should stick trying (and failing) to make good and not overpriced razors.
it depends on what you think of being an asshole. It's so obvious you don't have to treat women bad that we dont need gilette to patronizing us about it. On the other hand, i'm a personal trainer and yes i believe being fit, strong and healthy enforce a vision of great masculinity and if gillette thinks it's toxic they can put their f..ckin overpriced razors up their ass.The Gillette Fusion is a very good and quite reasonably priced razor.
The blades are a different issue. They are very good as well, but pricing is a little excessive.
If their advertising offends you, don't buy their products.
Personally, I'm not offended by the idea that men can try not to be arseholes.
Great first post!Sorry my toxic masculinity prohibits me from buying anything Gillette.
Me to, the same with people who say they can use a blade 100 times.Back on topic, I have no clue how people manage to get a cartridge to last a month, I'd get a week before it started tugging horribly.
