Because people are not always here for progress, the commercial received quite a bit of backlash. And while a lesser company might have stepped away from making sociopolitical messages in their advertising, in order to protect their profits, they actually doubled down. This newly unveiled commercial features a father teaching his trans son how to shave for the first time. And while there was also criticism for this ad, we’re going to focus on the people who loved it. See what others had to say below… . @Gillette ’s new ad shows a father teaching his trans son how to shave. We’re not crying, you’re crying. Bravo to brave companies like Gillette that are paving the way for a more inclusive world! pic.twitter.com/ABwd1k981C — The Mask You Live In (@MaskYouLiveIn) May 25, 2019 I love how people get mad about this story. I think Gillette has firmly placed itself as “the woke razor” for a little while now so we shouldn't be surprised they took this on. Buy your Bics and move on with your life, Travis. PS “The Woke Razor” would be a good wrestler name. https://t.co/wDQeugIsSN — 'The Influencer' Brian Zane (@zmanbrianzane) May 28, 2019 Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!
