lol. yea me2

same hahahaha

We are the Shaver Makers...And we...are the Shavers of stubble ^^

me too haha

YGOTAS brought me here

Not got a shaver. I bought some hair clippers with different depths. 15mm depth just right for me. Much easier than the hassle of going into town to visit the barbers.

lanilou seriously

what? my dad TOO

HAHA SURE BRO. FAKE

@@magsec5 nerd alert 🚨

So cool! Your Dad is truly gifted! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Branding halt! 😂

He passed away 17 years ago

That's even worse.

Lol

Fuuuuuccccck

I'm coming up to 60 in a couple of months so he was probably the age I am now, then.

And they were true to their word too. My Dad bought one, it didn't give him as good a shave as his razor, and he got his £20 back.

@@thefurrybastard1964 I've heard that from others, too. They really refunded money. I'm not sure if it's really possible to shave as close with an electric as with a safety razor like the one shown in the ad, but I guess many men thought that the result was a close call. Wet shaving is also a lot about technique. My grandfather always claimed that he could shave just as fast with a safety razor as with an electric and still got a closer shave that made him feel "clean".

@@DellaStreet123 My granddad used a cuthroat razor, he always got a smooth shave. He always said it was abetter shave than any modern shaver.

@@thefurrybastard1964 I loved those stories my grandmother told me about *her* grandfather shaving in the backyard. He was the only man in the house, WWII, was going on. She liked to watch her grandfather shaving. How he whisked up the lather, how he stropped the razor and, eventually, the faces he pulled during the shave itself. He blew up his cheeks, he tilted his head back and pulled a grinning face before going over his throat -- he even blew up the part over the lip. Self-shaving with a straight razor was still common throughout the first half of the 20th century in Germany. My great-aunt learned how to shave others with a straight during her training as a barber/ladies' hairdresser (she did both) and when she died, this inspired me to learn how to do it, too. I did my first practice on my legs. They are within convenient reach and the skin is relatively though, tougher than the skin on the average man's face. The design of the straight is excellent. It doesn't matter that it cannot get as sharp as a modern razor blade. It's all about the weight, the bevel (stropping is really essential) and technique. It is also great that you can control how close you want to shave your "victim". In the past, barbers sometimes asked their clients how close they wanted their shave. Not everybody wanted it BBS ("baby bum smooth2) as some shaving nerds call it today. A man is a man, not a baby's bum, for critter's sake.

@@DellaStreet123 Thank you for a post that I thouroughly enjoyed reading

uhf?

@@Zappy4001 Yep. It also cropped up in other places, and even in some more recent media that parodies 80s cliche (Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded for example makes a passing reference to this).

@@Hotshotter3000Bloodhound Gang referenced it in a song, too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK97YLmYz9uRcYE.html

Was hat Remington mit Gillette zu tun? Macht Gillette jetzt die alte Werbung nach?

@@mainhattan6038 Gillette put out an advertisement that trashed men. I just wanted at the point it came out to remember what a real razor ad was all about and the Remington ads do that.

No, boomer. stfu

love admiring capital hoarders who steal surplus value from workers

@@MakingPlanetsMusic How is it stealing? The employees agree to sell their time. The company is supposed to make more from them than the employee, otherwise there is no company to give them a job!

In UK hes commonly known as a money grabbing *****

@@robertomoi2044 ~ "commonly known" by whom? I'm in the UK & even Non marketing-savvy pensioners don't know him as any such thing

That's exactly the point. If you'd bought stock in Apple on the day the first iPad came out. How would your investment be doing today?

I know, thanks for uploading this. I remember his adverts on British TV in the early 80's, Victor became a household name overnight and so did his catchphrase.

to think that, they wanted to use kevin keegan in the adverts :-/

Buy the company!

Ebay, perhaps.

Well I know they don't work in guillotines.

thegrimyeaper thats why im here lol

Can't get much weirder than Al

Not really. Middle-aged people dress differently, they groom themselves differently, and dying one's hair also makes a difference. Only at first glance, though. I don't see any problem with being young at heart, dressing casually, etc. -- But what scares me is that our culture seems to be addicted to anti-aging. Which isn't even a thing. Once you're born, you're aging. In a way, your dying process has already begun. Healthy habits help with aging gracefully, but you have to accept the reality of death. It's never been optional, nobody has ever been forgotten yet, not even Jeanne Calment, the oldest person whose age could be verified.

Behave.
