Gillette sent me a free Mach3 Turbo

[archcommus]

...just for turning 18, with Happy 18th Birthday printed on the box. How'd they know? Odd... I myself use a Braun 7526 that self-cleans, it pwns, I gave the Mach3 to my mom.

Any of you guys receive free endorsements like this?

[archcommus]

How did they even know I existed, though?

 

[MikeMike]

i got a mach 3 when i turned 18. also came with a brochure about joining the air force, lol

 

[deejayshakur]

i got my schick quattro (courtesy of hot deals) yesterday.

 

[cjgallen]

They probably have some sort of deal with SSS. Gillette knows everything about you.

/puts on tinfoil hat

Yeah I think I remember getting one too...

I just figured they bought the information from your SoS, or some third party information collection agency.

 

[zerocool84]

yea i got the old skewl mach 3 when i turned 18, they know everything but i prefer a regular razor to an electric any day, i have the norelco advantage and i'd rather use my mach 3

It is a great marketing campaign.

Use razor > Love razor > Spend your life savings on blades.

agreed, I got one too.

On another note, I just got a free Shick Quattro in the mail today I signed up for that one tho, when they had the promotion where they gave away 150,000 of them a couple months ago. I tried it out, very nice... I think that It probably gets a very little closer than my M3 Power, but It also caused more nicks when shaving against the grain, so I call it a wash...

Right behind AOL's free month of service. Seems like just as many chumps get sucked in, too!

Ah, but you forget that there is no forum full of adolescent pricks doubting the claims of the Gillette Corporation....

..basically, one puts out an undisputedly great product

lol true... its kinda creepy that they know when and who to send em too but it must work if not they wouldnt do it... and yeah blades are a rip off... i used to be able to get them with my mealcard at the campus convenience store!

 

[chuckywang]

I got a free Quatro.

 

[Fritzo]

Yeah, I got one a couple of years ago (I was 32 though). Free razor to get you addicted, then a lifetime of buying $8 blades

 

[b0mbrman]

The stick is cheap...they know you'll have to buy the expensive cartridges

Pirate!

They sent me one when i turned 16.....then 6 months later, i appearently turned 16 again. When I turned 18, I turned 16 again.....then, when i was 21, I turned 16 again.....Gillette doe snot want me to grow up.....not complaining though. Thye made good stocking stuffers, but some people got insulted by the present.

I also got a free Shick Quatro two time after I bought one. I hated that razor.

 

[icejunkie]

yea, got one too... i dont use it i prefer the sensor for some reason :/
