Gillette 1972 vs. Gillette 2010

Gillette's 2010 Fusion ProGlide marketing disagrees with their own 1972 Trac II campaign.

Guess they can tell us anything and we'll still buy.

Waiting for the new 16 blade razor before I switch...

I see where you were going with this but people, opinions, & information change. Not to mention department heads & the people coming up with this stuff :l

@TwilightFadez ... I agree. Just fascinating how things can do a complete 180 in marketing.

Yes, absolutely ridiculous especially since the "leading brand" doing the tugging in the ProGlide commercial is a Mach 3...because tugging with an extra blade was aupposed to ne what made it better...RIDICULOUS.

P.S. I use a Merkur 1904/06 & an 11c now but the ProGlide is an excellent razor, but cartridges are FAR too expensive. More fun with a double edge too.

@tocotron1c like gimli? :D

@tocotron1c Real men don't shave.

There's no contradition at all. Those razors have 2 different approahces to shaving. Trac/Sensor were indeed designed to pull out and than cut. While Mach 3 and especially Fusion range razors are designed to cut closer due to a higher number of blades and sharper angle. Not to mention those blades are sharper themselves.

@tocotron1c no real men shave with a lawn mower!!!

MY EJ89L double edge razor beats both of these....

Yup. When crunchy peanut butter doesn't sell switch to smooth.
