      Not only is it not, its not even the only product marketed this way. Off the top of my head I’ve heard of anti woke coffee, beer, phones, foods… I don’t remember what any of them are called because that’s not a good use of brain space.

        I’m gonna make some tooth brushes in two marginally different styles and sell one in rainbow and various LGBT flag patterns for the left and sell the other in camo, thin blue line flag and gun metal grey patterns for the right. Market the hell out of both of them based solely on being ideologically polarized to those each side hates. Milk everyone on both sides of their cash. And when they finally inevitably find out that they’re both produced by the same company, I’ll gamify it, posting weekly sales totals for each line and promising 20% of the profits at the end of the year get donated the a non-profit supported by the winning side. Let them fight each other by paying me. Also, no matter how overwhelming one side was actually winning, my posts would always indicate that it is a really close race, so that if just a few more people bought them, it might make a big difference.

        That’s all bullshit, I’d never do that because I’m not evil. But dozens of Libertarian sociopaths are taking notes right now.

          I’d never do that because it sounds like a lot of work and you’d probably just get bought out or run out of business by Colgate or the other big companies.

      So, what happened is Harry’s Razors used to run ads on the Daily Wire, then pulled them because… They’re the daily wire, basically. The guy who owns the daily wire took it personally and launched Jeremy’s razors to stick it to em.

    Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.

      Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).

      This is a fucking Ben Shapiro product lmao

        You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the “women’s” version is usually marked up for no reason.

      They probably decided that support among the “anti-woke” MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.

      Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.

        Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It’s entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It’s just classic conservative grifting

      Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.

        Yeah, I’m trying to get my wife to switch because she always complains about a less-than-smooth shave and ingrown hairs with “normal” razors, both legs and bush lol. I haven’t shaved since like 2014 (I only use an electric trimmer), but if I did shave, it would be with a safety razor.

        Those are solid. I found Voskhod razors E X T R E M E L Y consistent between blades and comparably as smooth as platinum, nacets, silver blue.

        I cut the shit out of my face with just about everything else I tried.

        If anyone reading this is new to shaving, I would recommend Gillette as a good starting point and then try other brands. Don’t get a variety pack, because you get a bunch of shit blades.

        I use Creamo shave cream and like it. It’s cheap as fuck, and nice and thick. You can control how thick with how much water you use. I found other creams get pretty watery pretty quickly

          I spent $100 for 105 packs about 10 years ago, and I still have about 25 packs left. Although, I did go through long periods where I had a beard for a several years.

            Sorry, I just made a quick exaggeration of the price. I just got 10 for about $15 a month or so ago. That was the only pack I could find at the drug store. The previous one was a 100 pack, but it was probably more than $20.

            Regardless, much better than the new 5-blade heads. They’re expensive.

      I’ve always found the Mach 3 to be the best shave, but I think it had more to do with the open back that keeps it from getting clogged than is does with the third blade.

        When the Mach 3 launched, the women in my family were taking the mens’ razors and saying how crappie their own women’s razors were. The Mach 3 was a big hit.

        I still use it myself. I shave my head and the 3 blades is much easier to clean out. I do use a safety razor on my head first to do most of the work because the blades are dirt cheap. About £11 for 100 and they are made by Gillette as well. I bought these blades years ago and still got about 15 left.

        I use the Mach 3 to go over again to catch any hair I may have missed. I use it on my neck as well. Those multi-blades are a gimmick and I swear it’s to drive up prices.

        I also use shaving oil instead of gel or cream. A single bottle lasts me months, a big saving there as well.

            First I’ve heard of it.

            But then again I grew up in South Africa, I doubt Gillette would send us anything for free.

            It is a smart way to get young men hooked on their product so that they never try the competition. The blades I use are Astra which are made by the same company making Gillette blades, Procter & Gamble.

            Hell, I actually did some work at their factory in Berlin many years ago and they were very specific about their name, it was drilled into me to use ‘&’ and not ‘and’.

          The 2+ blade setups wouldn’t have to. But they are designed such that the blade spacing matches the thickness of a whisker, ensuring they catch hair. Space those blades out another millimeter, and the problem goes away.

          I use one bic for about a year. So about once a decade, I spend $5 on razors

      Of course. It’s not political if it’s just The Way Things Should Be™

      • The two Races: White and Political
      • The two Genders: Male and Political
      • The two Sexualities: Straight and Political

      Their views are never “political” because theirs is the “natural state” of things. They’re on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It’s anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that’s being political.
