the best a man can get for $10.74

I have a confession to make. I cave to catchy repetitive advertising. You know those silly commercials that ESPN makes you watch before every single little snippet of a video they play? Usually something stupid like RGIII arguing over what subway he likes best, or some razor that is perfectly contoured to shave a man’s belly button and nipples (gross). Anyway this time they got me. Not with the body razor (though that probably would get you if you tried to shave your chest hairs). After watching the ad for the Gillette Fusion proglide with flexball about 47 times I had to have one.

catchy Flexball commercial

As you can see it really is catchy. I believe the weird body razor commercial is also available for anyone who feels so inclined. Every time Kristin and I would be out shopping I would drift over to the shaving aisle and look at them and see if they were on sale. They also have this really cool rotating tube display in all the stores for this razor that attracts little kids and young men alike. As much as I wanted one I could not justify buying a new razor when the one I have had since middle school still works perfectly. That is until they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

The Greenville target had stocked up on these off to college combo packs and apparently college freshmen aren’t as concerned with shaving as Gillette thought they’d be. Their loss was my gain. The regular razor alone was still selling for $13.00, but since the start of school was weeks past these combo packs were going for $10.74. Along with the razor I got all this other stuff that I will never need, but made the deal so much more enticing.

I just knew that this new razor would be so amazing to shave with that I would instantaneously become a more diligent shaver. Alas three weeks have passed and while I do love my new razor I have only used it twice. Yes it does reach more areas than my old razor, and yes it is more comfortable, and yes I still hate shaving, but at least they didn’t sell me on the body razor.
