Dumb as fuck. They're trying to insult women now.

Women shave their armpits and legs. They know how to shave. Even if they become men, they don't lose that skill.

Thank goodness I got an electric razor and stopped buying overpriced crap from Gillette.

If Gillette want to double down on stupid, that's on them. Their sales are declining, which is why they're pushing these dumb commercials.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/04/23/should-p-g-exit-the-shaving-business.html

"The Cincinnati-based maker of Gillette razors and Braun electric shavers (NYSE: PG) reported net sales of $1.4 billion for the Grooming business in the recently ended third quarter, down 8 percent from last year."

question... is this "daddy teaching son to shave" a real thing? I mean it's even ridiculous, like "oh yes, you're doing fine!!! don't freak out!!"

It's ridiculous. I mean I am VERY close to my dad and he taught me many of those "dad and son things", but never how to shave. I mean, the shaving cream can has instructions...

It is possible if it was a straight razor.
Although the North North South crap is stupid and borderline useless.

Seems like it's being done more for publicity and social media attention than anything else.

With that said, there's really nothing wrong with the ad. Even if transboys are a minority of shavers, that's still a market segment (and likely a growing one). Plus it highlights a nice experience between father and son that transcends gender identity.

Ok, I didn't mean to be offensive, also I don't give a fuck that "its the 21st century".
but here is a more proper version of my post.

Even if you take away that the person is a trans, its a really fucking corny commercial.
north north, sout....wtf.
Am I the only one who figured out shaving on my own, its not that hard, I didn't need my dad to show me, I'm not that beta.

Can't wait for the bigots to get themselves modded. It's almost as good as morning coffee.

Man I haven't read the comments on that video but from this I can already tell it's a dumpster fire:

Eoi5z02

It's barely over 1000 thumbs, so it's some crumpled newspaper on fire, at worst.

Wait for some firehose to pitch a fit, then the real fun begins.

I didn't really want to post in this topic.
But after 7 hours, I'm still kinda blown away that this video is not some parody or satire.

This is one of those things that people shouldn't try to blow up.
It's a dad teaching his child to shave, big deal, why's everybody getting so worked up about. Literally nothing negative about this.

Actually if anything it is the least Beatles movie.
They had almost nothing to do with it.

A Hard Days Night and Help are the most Beatles movies.
