Looks like Gillette is getting back in the DE GAME

These are now available at Walgreens here in the US

 

It’s a G-89, you know like muhle r89, or Edwin Jagger de89 , or my Jack Black de. All exactly alike. Not bad mind you, but a muhle is by any other name, is still a muhle.

 

These modern heads under half dozen different names all look the same to me. Maybe they are?

 

And there's Dave with the answer.

 

Nice looking handle though

 

I heard about this new Gillette DE being sold in Walgreens; I’ll check my local Walgreens to see if they have it.

 

none in canada .yet..

 

So Gillette is making a DE razor. Big deal. They were doing that in 1903 already. When P&G/Gillette starts mass producing a basic user grade straight razor for a working man's price, THEN they will have my attention.

 

For those of us who don’t shave with a straight razor, it’s potentially very interesting news.

 

guarantees blade manufacture .and travellers can tote a cheap tech around and get blades locally.

 

seems they got it already..

 

They got my attention with the toxic masculinity commercials. Enough so that they will not get any more of my money. I have a box of vintage Gillettes from when they actually made razors

 

I happen to hold the position that this is a good thing. Putting aside their advertising campaign, attaching the Gillette brand to a traditional DE razor is, imo, a step in the right direction.

 

I agree
And would be stoked, if they actually made it.
Rebranding just seems like babe Ruth calling for a pinch hitter, like Elton John asking for piano lessons, like Cindy Crawford getting beauty tips.

 

I have between 8 and 12 Gillette razors actually made by Gillette. I don't by things that were made in USA or Europe now made in China . You get political you lose my business

 

ok-good day..

 

One step at a time, David.

 

Yeah, It’s a step in the right direction.

 

yes sir..
