  2. Some people may think me a prude, but I don't need sex to sell me something and in fact it can turn me away from products that I normally would buy if it wasn't for that type of marketing. I don't need things in my home that I wouldn't want my wife, children or grand children seeing.

    But that's just me .... stepping off my soap box now. :D

  3. I could, but I'm sure they'd want a lot more than I'd want to pay.

  4. Loved the “soap box” reference! I agree but from a marketing aspect I can appreciate it. Me 20 years ago would have been more drawn to the packaging initially than the 40 year old me with wife and young son now. However, if it ain’t got anything behind that gimmick, I wouldn’t be inclined to try it or continue to be a return buyer.

    My faves have some of the simplest yet artistic looking packaging IMO. Take Grooming Dept, Murphy & McNeil, Bufflehead, and Mike’s Naturals for example to name some. Simple packaging and marketing is almost completely social media given street credit by word of mouth from happy users.

  13. I want to shave with it first before I decide to upgrade. I don't know if I am into these Autostrops where I want to shave with them on a regular basis yet.

  14. I love mine. It shaves fantastic
  15. They also made their own razors besides these guards. There are a few variations besides the one pictured on the tissue paper that is used to wrap these things in the packaging.
