Wilkinson Sword – Quattro for Women Bikini

30 March 2009 by Silky

Here’s a cracking Bad Ad submission from Greybob for Wilkinson Sword’s snappily named “Quattro for Women Bikini” razor (it’s nice to know that we’re so prudish they couldn’t even add the word “Line” on to the end):

Is there a less olbique way of suggesting that the Wilkinson Sword Quattro for Women Bikini is for trimming your bush? They even provide shapes that you might like prune it down too, the “landing strip”, the “dairylea triangle”, the “Hitler moustache” and the lesser seen “round one”.

They’ve missed the scraggly naked bare bush though, perhaps there’s no way of extending the visual euphemism to the Brazilian.

There’s a woman who lives down the street who has her bush done in the shape of a squirrel. She doesn’t use a Wilkinson Sword Quattro for Women Bikini though – she gets a man into do it with a big pair of sheers.

I wonder if she keeps her merkin as trim?

Couldn’t help notice the phallic shape of the ladygarden trimmer – one touch and a flip does it all! Good to see multi – functionality built in, saves cupboard space!
Now perhaps some hair straighteners that can also be used to iron shirts?
Photosynthesis is awesome

Why do they have their own razors anyway? Everyone knows they just steal ours without replacing the blades. Right, guys, who’s with me?!

Hello?

Hang on, there’s an hilarious advert idea there somewhere, I’m going to make a call.

Please don’t nick my idea in the meantime, thanks.

This advert is so dodgy…. It’s quite clearly a euphamism for trimming your bush!

Photosynthesis – Maybe that’s why the Gillette Phenom has a push button vibrate function?

Photosynthesis is awesome – your comments are, of course, bang on the money.

That is why Wilkinson Sword have made this razor. If you look closely it is more or less exactly the same as the male Wilkinson Sword Quattro Precision razor, but it’s made in a dodgy shade of light blue.

So at least now, women might still steal our razor blades, but they’ll not be leaving them around for us to rip our face to shreds on afterwards – they’ll still be connected to that dodgy coloured thing lying on the side of the bath.

I tried a few women’s razors and I always go back to the types made for men.
