Coles has half price on some Gilette razors. I have used the sensor 3 earlier and found it to be quite good.

no. dont buy gilette at all.
But it's the best a man can get, possibly woman and or gender unassigneds as well
Radical feminists have no need for Gilette razors, ironically
Never Forget
yeah no thanks Gillette have crossed the line with their toxic masculinity ads
What’s wrong with this ad seems normal to me
You may like to read the comment section of the YouTube video to understand why people are boycotting Gillette
Ok got it, at least some of it. I don’t know anything else I could use instead of Gillette though When it comes to razor
@[Deactivated]: Wet shaving, gives a better shave and like a true Ozbargainer you'll save a fortune.
After I finish my dollar shave club cartridges I'm going to move to wet shaving.@Wystri Warrick: Have you tried it before? I just have images of blood whenever I think of wet shaving. I'm a bit clumsy and I'm not sure how I would go with a straight-razor lol
@addison666: I have astigmatism and I'm gonna try it out, I mean how hard can it be lol.
My dad used to wet shave and he used to be fine, just so long as me and my siblings didn't disturb him when we were little kids…
@Wystri Warrick: Damn I tried using this clubs razors, had all 3 kinds, the 2 blade was a disaster, cut after cut, 4 blade was better but gave my skin a lot of irritation, 6 blade was good can’t complain, but still worse than mach3, also didn’t last as long as mach3.
Wet shaving that’s first time I hear I’ll google it thanks ah I know it’s the razor and blades deal that were around recently, yeah may try that once I’m done with my mach3 stash, about 40 blades left
Agreed
Lol this guy is hilarious.
GROW A BEARD MOTHAFUKA
Proctor & Gamble handing out moral guidance. Not sure I need their virtue seeking VP of Marketing and his Ad Agency telling me to do what my Dad taught me 30 years ago. Most normal men already hold ourselves to high standards and we dont need Razor salesmen telling us we need to do a better job of being men. As with all these messages, the ones watching are probably the ones that least need the message. Luck I'm a Schick man!
@Yola: Same as any group of people no matter how you divide them up? So why the implication in the term "toxic masculinity" that it's an inherent trait in masculinity or men and therefore not in femininity or women? Seems unnecessary. If you sent out a message saying cyber bullying is bad and we all need to take action to call it out, it'd be like yeah ok fair enough, it's about the behaviour itself. But if you then said hey Asians, stop cyber bullying, it's a bit like…ummm…why the hell was Asianness brought into this?
any publicity is good publicity
No thanks.
It's ma'am.
Gillette deserving a massive backlash for their cultural marxist ad ? Hell yeah !
Lol what's Marxism got to do with feminism?
This has nothing to do with feminism. It's called "cultural marxism" and not everyone likes it.
Ah thanks ElWircho :), I might take a look at it, never heard of it before.
The best a ma'am can get.
I will never use Gillette again. Been using them for years, Mach3, and then onto BlueII plus but never again.
The ad's hilarious given the overcooked ratio of non-white (good) to white toxicity (bad); around 48:1 according to Paul J Watson's video.
What did the guy do wrong at the 1:02 minute mark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koPmuEyP3a0&feature=youtu.be
Haha it appears as though a pretty lady is walking past, then he presumably goes after her to get her details or something which is "not cool" in his friends eyes.
Levels of whiteknighting in this ad are off the charts - Gilette should just stick to razors. I'm sick of businesses and organisations jumping on to the LGBTQIWTFBBQ bandwagon to appear relevant to their customers, when it has nothing to do with their product.
Why can't a company have a position on a social issue? They pay company taxes, they have company values and professional standards. A company incl its employees and shareholders exist in the real world, not just the manufacturing line for their product. Not sure if you think this specific company shouldn't just because you don't agree with the position they have taken? None of this prevents you from boycotting the company.
The same companies giving us a lesson in morality while exploiting the 3rd world… Lol ok
@hippyhippy: Just like most people have complicated and sometimes conflicting opinions. Exploiting the third world doesn't mean you have to cover all bases on evil.
@hippyhippy: Keep digging. Gillette actually have enforable policies on the issues in that ad. WTF are you talking about?
'SJW mentality' is the catch cry of people without real arguments to make.@[Deactivated]: What policies are they? Policy of using child labour?
According to a 2016 report by Amnesty International, palm oil provider Wilmar International, the world's biggest palm oil grower in 2016 and supplier of raw materials to Procter & Gamble, profited from 8 to 14-year-old child labor and forced labor. Some workers were extorted, threatened, or not paid for work. Some workers also suffered severe injuries from toxic banned chemicals.[64]
@hippyhippy: Stick to the issue - the ad - not any other issue you want to chose. This is about their ad on toxic masculinity. It's daft to say a company can't be positive about one issue because they arent about another.
@hippyhippy: Again, you're wasting time with meaninglessness quips. Come back when you have a reasoned argument to make.
@[Deactivated]: If you do not get the argument… Then that's on you.
Hey everyone.. Look at how virtuous we are… While exploiting children in the 3rd world.
While exploiting children in the 3rd world.
A lot of big companies are guilty of it though, not just Gilette (not suggesting that makes it ok).
@[Deactivated]: You're right wingman, it's difficult to cover all bases. Please rate the following in order you believe they need to be addressed by Gillette:
a. Playfight at BBQ
b. Rubbernecking a perceived attractive female
c. Child exploitation
d. Rapid deforestation
e. Harvey Weinstein's casting couch
f. Workplace chemical injuries
g. Extortion of the developing world's most vulnerableOh the morality…
@buffalo bill: Are you also boycotting KFC, Coca Cola and pretty much every large brand on ozbargain because they all have skeletons in the closet. I doubt it.
I don’t like Gilette and don’t use their products but if they have something positive and useful to say about women’s unfair treatment then they can say it. That does not mean they can stop addressing those other issues or should. It’s better than staying silent on this issue.
The negative reaction to it as far as I can see from this site is mainly limited to the actual issue in the ad, being reminded to be respectful to women - not to any of those other issues you list. People can’t handle being told that what they are unconsciously and consciously doing is harmful to women.
@[Deactivated]: As a matter of fact, I am avoiding brands with questionable ethics.
The reality of the matter is, neither yourself nor P&G can generalise on collective moral standards of a gender. Everyone is an individual, and to be collectively lectured or chided with prejudice is as insulting as typecasting any racial group.
We do know, however that P&G are themselves exploiters and abusers, and we also know you didn't answer the question.
What exactly is their position? That - fast forward from the 80's to 2019 - men (their core clientele) are now devoid of values and need some sort of infomercial on Orwell's "telescreen" to remind them?
What happened to the days when a company simply delivered products or services, and performance was judged on those merits?
If brands want to blow the budget on this crap, don't complain when consumers buy a good size, good quality pack of Prince razors for $2 at Aldi - a company that knows consumers just want good value products - not ideals - in their shopping trolley.
FYI, Gillette parent company P&G has been known for using child labour and unsustainable materials via third parties but those things don't make a good advertisement.
@buffalo bill: I think you misunderstood the message in the ad. A company can have an impact far greater than one product they sell to you. Social issues can also affect the people in that company both outside it and in the workplace.
As I said above no one is forcing you to buy the product.
As I said above just because a company fails on one metric doesn't mean it needs to consistently fall on all metrics.@[Deactivated]: It's an advertisement/infomercial. It is not an internal reference reinforcing the company ethos, it is directed toward the viewing public.
It insults the intelligence of the viewer, and assumes that they need reminding of how to act.
Along with most people, I don't have a problem with the message, but the delivery has left a lot to be desired - as witnessed by the response.
Yes we know about freedom of choice to purchase other products… and glad you agree exploitation of resources and children in developing countries falls somewhere on the spectrum of importance, hopefully somewhere between kids play fighting at a BBQ and a 20-something rubbernecking when a woman walks by.
@buffalo bill: Yes maybe you don’t need reminding but a whole lot of people do (as the reaction itself shows) and when large organisations take a stand it has an impact.
They pay company taxes, they have company values and professional standards.
How is that relevant? lol
If it was an ad aimed at everyone to be kind and respectful to one another, I doubt there'd be an issue.
Imagine if was targeting white women or black women, you still think it wouldn't reach the news?
@ozhunter: | They pay company taxes
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/procter-and-…
Article entitled "Procter & Gamble and the art of tax avoidance"
@buffalo bill: That’s a US article on tax avoidance not that Gillette or P&G in Australia don’t pay taxes here at all. Quit cherry picking.
@ozhunter: It’s relevant because they have more of a right to express their view on political and social issues of public importance compared to an entity that doesn’t pay taxes.
Maybe it comes as a shock to you but the issue affects all men and all men need reminding about respecting woman. Perhaps you should reflect on the negative reaction to the ad to see just how many men don’t get it and don’t want to change.
An ad reminding all people to be kind to everyone? Really? You think that’s going to be effective on this very specific issue? Come on.It’s relevant because they have more of a right to express their view on political and social issues of public importance compared to an entity that doesn’t pay taxes.
Disagree. As long as your following the law legally regarding your taxes, then you have the same right.
Maybe it comes as a shock to you but the issue affects all men and all men need reminding about respecting woman. Perhaps you should reflect on the negative reaction to the ad to see just how many men don’t get it and don’t want to change.
It affects everyone, doesn't it?
An ad reminding all people to be kind to everyone? Really? You think that’s going to be effective on this very specific issue?
Why not? Is it because people don't need to be told by a big multinational corporation on how to behave?
As expected, I see you deliberately didn't answer the last question on my comment. It's like you actually agree that's it's dumb to target specific groups in this way(unless it's men of course) Sounds like the typical modern day feminist.
@ozhunter: His logic: The more money you make, the more rights you have.
Concerned about western gender relations but willing to overlook or allow habitat deforestation and child exploitation - according to him they don't have a right to be heard.
It must be a very interesting place inside his head…
Plenty of skeletons in Proctor & Gamble's closet they need to fixup before they start lecturing the rest of us on how to be better men.
@2ndeffort: Maybe we should hold you to the same standard. Quit expressing your opinion on issues of ethics and morality until you’re perfect.
@[Deactivated]: Think of the ad this way. How would you think people would react if instead of "toxic masculinity" it was "toxic blackness" and showed black people committing robberies and said "it's time black people did better"?
@[Deactivated]: If you dont like reading other people's opinions what are you doing here? Or do you just dislike reading opinions different to your own? I'm happy to be held to any reasonable standard, far exceed most and very comfortable in my own skin!
PC brigade at it again, who cares about the ad! The razors are still good! This is ozbargain not ozpolitical or ozbadadshaming
It's the anti-PC brigade, but righto. I for one won't be buying their products.
Who cares, seriously
I dunno, looks like a lot of men care a lot about this ad being against what they think is politically correct.
It is when it suits some people on this site, very selectively.
Gilette - best not to get!
No thanks, never again.
Which disposable razor blade do you recommend? Recent OzBargain deal on the Schick Extreme 3 disposable blade also receives bad review.
I don’t know yet, but I am sure there are plenty of good products out there.
Maybe a good reason to finally go to safety razor.
Just do it, will end up saving a ton of coin in the long run. Shaving is more fun too as you refine your technique
Here is what I bought about 5 years ago and beyond $10 once a year for shaving soap I haven't spent a cent since on shaving products
On my last few packs of blades so I might pick up some more up so $15 will sort me out for the next 3-5 years
https://www.mensbiz.com.au/merkur-heavy-duty-hd-double-edge-…
https://www.mensbiz.com.au/astra-superior-platinum-double-ed…
https://www.mensbiz.com.au/geo-f-trumper-super-badger-shavin…
https://www.mensbiz.com.au/proraso-shaving-soap-eucalyptus-m…
None - probably the single blade razor is better at shaving and more cost-effective in the long-run
Fantastic razors
gillette must be the last company to release feminist commercials.
Dollar shave club just got thousands of new customers because of this ad.
yeah the ad might be absolute bullshit but don't down vote the OP who was just informing us of the deal…
I was about to hit down vote, then I thought the exact same thing. It's a good deal, it's just very controversial right now
Boycott Gillette
Not sure why you didn't list the 12 pack, which has the cheapest per unit price.
I love Gillette razors :)
Good for you, young man. We've got a special sticker for you, then back on the bus…
Best a Ma'am can get!
Gillette can recognise my male privilege and blow me. Virtue-signalling twits.
Get woke, go broke.
Upvoted for the bargain, thanks op :).
A downvote for Gillettes advertisement.
To say, to insinuate that men are the sexist, are the perpetrators of sexual abuse is a fabrication, it is humans that are the perpetrators of sexism, sexual abuse and discrimination.
Whether it's the colour of someone's skin, gay or straight, rich or poor, blue or red, black or white, man or woman abuse comes from everywhere, from all corners of the globe and to only look at one group is discrimination and sexism in itself.Good deal OP, however I threw my Gillette razors in the bin (and put a photo on Twitter, man did that start up a $hit storm rofl). Funny they choose now to have a sale, I suspect they won't be selling as many as normal after this
You think the ad is so un-PC you — an OzBargainer — threw perfectly good products in the bin? Hysterical much?
Not gonna lie it hurt to throw money away, but it was worth it.
Blades are perfect for castrating yourself in testosterone infused toxic masculine guilt after seeing their advert!
Why are people upset about this ad?
Probably because getting outraged is in fashion these days.
People getting all worked up and upset, it's like they are doing exactly what Gillette want.
Gillette released an ad, saying some crap about be better men, or something equally dumb.
People get upset and talk non-stop about Gillette, creating massive amount of traffic on the internet.
Gillette, then will release a statement that it's not sorry for affending toxic people's feels
Media around the would pickup the story and spin a story that poeple that don't by Gillette are the problem.
Lol,
I think there's truth to the "there's no bad publicity" thing, but only up to a point. Sure, everyone is talking about Gillette now which sounds good for them, but a large portion of their customers are now saying they will boycott their products, which definitely can't be a good thing for them.
@rhino015: Wait and see, never seen a company go belly up because some fools got upset on the internet. Lol
@spriggan43: Definitely won't go belly up. But if the ad was meant to increase revenue and it decreases it, that's clearly a failed campaign.
Thereby targetting and upsetting a large percentage of the razor buying public.
Did you even read the comments?
Lots of snowflakes out there that can't handle some advertising that encourage men to be less macho. Given the reactions on here from all the sensitive souls, it's working!
If you feel you have to make of fun of people with different opinions by calling them names, maybe you should re-watch the advert
Lol good point 2ndeffort.
Buy Schick instead
