Thank you for doubling down on proving the point... just couldn't keep that toxic masculinity in, could you???
Keep it up. Keep telling the whole world. Keep showing the whole world. Keep letting EVERYONE know exactly who you are and why the Gillette ad hit the proverbial nail on the head.
You're nailing it, Dude.
Early Gillette ads targeted men exclusively; they appeared principally in newspapers and general circulation magazines, and stressed the civilizing aspect of shaving. "The country's future is written in the faces of young men," one blurb from 1910 declared, continuing, "The Gillette is a builder of regular habits. Own a Gillette—be a master of your time—shave in three minutes." ADVERTISING Another ad from the same year indicated that Gillette's razors separated independent, civilized men from brutes and effeminate males: "Woman is the great civilizer. If it were not for her, man would revert to whiskers and carry a club. . . . "
