I posted this before, but it's worth posting again. I recognized that we, the disenfranchised, could hurt Gillette's bottom line, but I knew that it would do little if anything to hurt the monolith that is Proctor & Gamble. Acknowledging this fact, I thought it beneficial to post a list of P&G brands so that the members here would be aware of just how many products P&G markets. I am happy to report that my household is free of P&G products. I am done with P&G and I will never purchase another of their products. I refuse to support companies that are anti-American, anti-Constitutional (including the2A), and companies who promote revisionist history.

I have loathed Gillette for decades. I switched to a DE safety razor at least 25 years ago b/c I grew tired of Gillette's predatory marketing schemes, their litigious nature towards their competitors - where they attempt to sue competitors out of existence - and their outrageously expensive cartridges. It seemed that every year or 2 they would come out with a new whiz bang razor: 2 blade, 3 blade, 4 blade, 5 blade, lubricating strip, jack-off attachment, swivel head, etc... and always with a hefty price increase to match. Screw Gillette & their SJW "virtue signaling" and social engineering. I have enough DE blades of various brands to last the rest of my life & including my Merkur 34 HD razor, I spent less than the cost of one package of Gillette's new whiz-bang cartridges. When Gillette came out with their anti-white man ad months ago, I rid my household of any remaining Proctor & Gamble products.
The morons at Gillette have doubled down, but it's not just Gillette. Proctor & Gamble owns Gillette and the below listed brands. I will never purchase another of their products:

Thanks for that list. I am less than half through and found five products I use, but will need to switch.
[quote=High_Noon]. I am done with P&G and I will never purchase another of their products. I refuse to support companies that are anti-American, anti-Constitutional (including the2A), and companies who promote revisionist history.
Heck of a list High Noon!
Regardless of their fluffy mission statements American corporations are capitalistic and seek profits to reward shareholders--that is first and foremost. Even if a behemoth like P&G is not impacted by folks saying what High Noon said above, I assure you many other boardrooms will take notice of what is said and what is done. They may not roll over and admit anything publicly as they are heavily invested in the political realm. But a bigger issue than politics is profits...
Elephants are eaten one bite at a time. Every product not purchased because of thumb-screw treatment of customers will add up with time.
Maybe we can't dent P&G but the guys running Gillette, who are the guys that approved the anti-male ad, will get fired if they don't "make the numbers."
Yep.
PG is too big for the average consumer to ignore. But Gillette, they can well, there's a song for that.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
Gillette is a brand name owned by P&G whose stock is at an all-time high.
The mantra is to maximize stock price for the shareholder i.e. screw the employees if it helps the shareholder. You can bet your ass that if the current ad campaign results in a decrease of the Gillette brand profits, there will be changes. Theses things do not happen overnight but over reporting quarters, over a year, possibly longer...
OTOH, with the S&P 500 Index also at an all-time high notched on July 26 going into August, would you buy P&G or sell it?
Neither.
PG is consumer staples, not consumer discretionary. Typically you under weight staples during a strong economy, and over weight then during a down turn.

Before we all pass out from orgasmic schadenfreude, I might want to note that in the past 12 months P& G stock has gone from $85 to $120.
If bashing white men will make stocks go up 50% in a year, brace yourself for more of it.
The jist of the article was not about P&G stock. It was about one of their companies losing $billions.

I think thats Awesome and Maybe I helped. I switched to Harry's shave club, I get the 5 blade razors 8 for $16.00. Thats 2.00 each and they last longer and are extremely sharp. If fact, Warning if you switch,I cut myself 3 times the first week, you gotta learn to go slower and only one pass
Harry's is owned by Schick razors........ You know, they guys that would love to be Gillette?
P&G owns a lot of brands and is doing very well. It's just one of their brands, Gillete, that's taking the hit. P&G had to write off $18 bill in loses from Gillete recently.
Bic razors seem to work fine for me.
