This is an old problem. The only way to counter this is to do something at the grassroots level. Start small. When you see someone using or looking at a Gillette product just say to them “I didn’t know you were gay?” In a calm voice like you just realized. When they deny it and ask why, just tell them only fags use Gillette, didn’t you know? Go from there, it works with Nike products too. If you keep it subtle this will spread faster than vocal protesting. Shaming works.

I actually bought a 100 pack of Voskhod blades this week. Can't wait to try it over the Feathers I was using. someone on upgoat mentioned Voskhod so I looked into them.
After the first Gillette toxic masculinity ad, I think it's been 3 years ago now, I got my wife to buy me a safety razor and a big pack of feather blades. Cost about $70 and I still have about 20 blades left. If I was still buying Gillette it would have been $700 in the same period. Absolute rip off.
The Gillette thing was years and years ago. Almost all of my friends switched to dollar shave club, with a few including myself went out and bought a DE Safety Razor like our grandfathers would have used.
I get a bag of Bic single blade disposable razors for like $5. I use them for a week and throw them away and get a new one. That’s all you need. These expensive razors are a fucking scam.

Not as badass as a straight razor and perhaps a bit more approachable to those who are risk averse.

Still haven't tried them.
Thanks again for the recommendation, though. I'm almost out of Feathers.
