This makes me laugh, most notably the responses!

The advert was created by an ad agency as a new concept; different to those butch, masculine adverts as Wilkinson Swords said they wanted something a bit different and not too serious. The ad agency provided the advert which was then used sraight away as the campaign, which it wasn’t meant to! There was a secondary batch of standard euro adverts a month or two after this one which was the correctly funded campaign!

How do I know this? A good friend of mine came up with the concept. And even more amusing when I saw it first, is that he based the advert on my various facial hair stylings over the past 3 years. Each of those shown have been worn by yours truly and it was real, unlike the stick hair they used!

And yes, I do have Eastern European roots, am not on any police list (that I know of) and am not gay! As for being a cnt, well… if the merkin fits…

I wish it was possible to shave like they do on these ads. One giant stroke from ear to chin in 0.2 seconds. Get them to try that with a real blade on a 2 day growth. Maybe throw in a couple of bulging plooks* too . Now that’s something I’d pay to see these smug gits go through!

Plook, n, a colloqial Scottish expression for a spot, or zit.

Shaving ads get on my wick they are the male equivalent of sanitary towel ads, none of the models featured have any stubble on their faces, they probably have had their facial hair removed by electrolysis, there’s no friction burns, no cuts and no little hairs on the razor or in the foam. In other words no relation to the realities of shaving for the average bloke at all.

Muster I remember that one, they were indeed the good old days. Unfortunately they seem to be reliant these days on giving us constant close ups of the shaven chin just to hammer the point home.

Has there ever been a good shaving advert: I think you could make this a sub-catagory all of it’s self. They don’t even go for a decent visuable and auditory similary now-a-days. I remeber the old days, when a certain wet shaver company had a skier slicing down winter slopes, a sharp swish of ski on snow….. Ah, the good old days! God, they got me!!!!!!!

chist!! it looks like some freaky freddie mercury lookalike competition.
that’s another product i’ll be avoiding solely due to a god awful ad.

do ad execs really think we’re all cunts? i believe they do!

What I’d like to add is that I think this is an awful ad. If I he was on a promise with me, he could forget it! The facial hair looks stick on too. It’s horrible.

Run for the hills! It’s the notorious Sharp-Shaving Quintuplet Brothers, out for revenge on the public after their idea for a five-way identity-confusion-based sitcom was rejected by ITV4.

You could achieve a similar effect to those in the pictures by replacing your jaw bone with a powerful electromagnet and sprinkling your face liberally with iron filings. Then you could sculpt a new metrosexual style each day to suit your whim without all that fiddly shaving. Before bed, switch off the power and wipe clean.

“Design your own look,” it says at the end of the advert. “Twattify yourself,” it should say.

I bet these guys know Mickey.
