I always assumed conservatives would be into those safety razors with ten cent blades.
That would be fiscally conservative when what they really want is to ban gay people and immigrants
did he gnash his teeth and bite the recess lady’s breast?
Is that Snoop Dogg in the profile pic?
I don’t understand why this is a shitpost? I mean, other than it’s shit, and here it is being posted. Shouldn’t a shitpost have some sort of intelligence or self-awareness or humor or something? I don’t get it.
You’ll find that a lot of posts around here aren’t shitposts
This is some absolutely god tier shitposting, taking the piss out of conservatives. I recommend taking a look at their website, it’s amazing.
And also liberals.
Today on Philosophy with Lemmy:
If one attempts to make a shitpost, and does it with poor skill or malicious intent, is it not in fact a shitpost just the same?
Yours is my favourite of all the answers I got.
I am honored!
And now you made me snort in public!
My state of mind is reinforced!
May your upvotes be many, your memes evergreen, your code inspired and your bugs few, easy to find and to fix. May your managers be sane, rational, realistic and fair. And may your preferred team win when you really want them to. Unless they’re playing mine, of course, in which case you’re on your own, buddy.
Shitposting is just default lemmy community now
It is kinda funny though
This is where a bunch of American Lemmintons get confused because they’ve misunderstood what liberalism is all along, thanks to their media telling them anti-woke conservatives are “libs”.
That’s because of women don’t buy the pink ones then they won’t pay the Woman Tax.
Got to get the 24% somewhere if they are paid the same now.
What about:
What’s funny about that scene, is he hides his actual razor and starts shaving with the blade when he has an audience.
And that’s why he’s not toxic. He may be a bit of a trickster, but he lets the movie audience in on the joke.
Crocodile Dundee was legitimately a brilliant character, the total lack of ego was a brilliant aspect of that.
That’s not a razor.
THIS is a razor.
You call that a spoon?
This is a spoon! 🥄
I see you’ve played knifey-spooney before…
fake news… real men use safety razors.
Like this?
Gillette platinum razors, baby
Bluebird razor is liiiife
100 blades for $20, yes please.
I spent $100 for 105 packs about 10 years ago, and I still have about 25 packs left. Although, I did go through long periods where I had a beard for a several years.
Sorry, I just made a quick exaggeration of the price. I just got 10 for about $15 a month or so ago. That was the only pack I could find at the drug store. The previous one was a 100 pack, but it was probably more than $20.
Regardless, much better than the new 5-blade heads. They’re expensive.
Sorry, I edited a little typo there. But yeah, those cartridge blades are outrageously expensive. Safety blades are super duper cheap.
This here is a man proper, ladies!
Ahem, gentlemen ;)
Get it boys!!!
Fellas, is it gay to shave? /s
Those are solid. I found Voskhod razors E X T R E M E L Y consistent between blades and comparably as smooth as platinum, nacets, silver blue.
I cut the shit out of my face with just about everything else I tried.
If anyone reading this is new to shaving, I would recommend Gillette as a good starting point and then try other brands. Don’t get a variety pack, because you get a bunch of shit blades.
I use Creamo shave cream and like it. It’s cheap as fuck, and nice and thick. You can control how thick with how much water you use. I found other creams get pretty watery pretty quickly
I like Proraso shave cream myself
ID on the bowl?
Every other form of shaving is torture.
Like I really didn’t believe the hype until I got one. I was scared at first of nicking myself, but I haven’t done it once in the two years I’ve used it
I shave my vag with a safety razor because I’m alpha as fuck
Go on!
Yeah, I’m trying to get my wife to switch because she always complains about a less-than-smooth shave and ingrown hairs with “normal” razors, both legs and bush lol. I haven’t shaved since like 2014 (I only use an electric trimmer), but if I did shave, it would be with a safety razor.
Alpha males wait until they develop rust for that real manly rugged shave.
no pain, no gain
You need one (1) razor and that’s a Wolfman WR1 with Perma-Sharp Super blades. Everything else is cope
I’m running an old Gillette with Super Max Platinum blades – they work well enough. I got a 500 pack on ebay for $20 so I guess I’m set for life.
I prefer my Rockwell SS 6S with sharks
I prefer my sharks with lazer beams
All we have are sea bass.
Ill-tempered?
That’s what I use too, with feathers
Sharks are good too but I can’t find them local anymore and I’ll be fucked to put a whole online order for a pack of blades
Lol. I’ll stick with my Gillette Tech and Astra Stainless. Thanks for the thought though.
I’ve been looking to eliminate disposable plastic razors but yikes those prices are steep! Are they permanently sharp or something? There is zero info on their website unless I’m missing something
It was mainly a joke. Just thinking of the most expensive, esoteric, unattainable maker I could think of from back in my r/wetshaving days. Safety razors are the best way to shave, but just about anything will do great
It’s a fancy handle (admittedly, very fancy) for safety razor blades or double edge blades. The blades themselves are generic/interchangeable and a lot cheaper.
For what it’s worth I’ve used the same merkur safety razor for around a decade with feather blades I only had to replace every several weeks when I had a coarse beard. I use the same on my legs now and it still works amazing. Best shave I’ve ever had, since my beard was too cowlicked to use a straight razor. They’re easy to use, give a closer shave than cartridge razors, and they’re way less irritating. You totally don’t have to spend $300 if you don’t want to.
Thank you
Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.
I only sell my axis-themed WW2 memorabilia flags to white men with hereditary or other baldness. They need to be at least
lifts arm with palm flat
This tall.
Conservatives when they realise that LGBTQ people and racial minorities also have money and spend money
That’s not fair to this dude, is face is a face of shock from wonder, not outrage.
Honestly, we need more genuine emotion like this on the internet.
But that said, yeah, regressives are the queens of pearl-clutching for no reason.
Dr Pepper 10! It’s not for women!
Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn’t even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.
I just had a look at their website, it’s pretty clear the whole thing is a pisstake. All part of the show.
Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It’s entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It’s just classic conservative grifting
Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
This is a fucking Ben Shapiro product lmao
They probably have another brand which appeals only to gender fluid save the whales hippies.
You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the “women’s” version is usually marked up for no reason.
I was joking but not really. It’s what I would be doing if I were them.
They don’t. If you look into them it’s entirely a company owned by the same guy that owns The Daily Wire. It’s literally only there to grift from their audience and further their culture war.
Cause it’s probably a shit product and they have no USP other than “woke bad”.
It’s because they’ve conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:
- “Voting” with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
- Giving money to “woke” companies harms you as an individual.
- Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.
Let’s break that down.
They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.
They want people to fear giving money to “woke” corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They’re the voices of reason in a world that’s all against you. Then, you’ll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.
They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you’ll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don’t support the “woke” agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.
And of course, they wouldn’t get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who’s gonna buy? Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette’s, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.
But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard… well, then you’ve got a good revenue stream.
There is an entire coffee company dedicated to mUrica. It’s just fucking coffee but if you sell it right these idiots will buy literally anything that even pretends they be American and conservative
Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
They probably decided that support among the “anti-woke” MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.
Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.
You need to understand the mindset, the culture, the reason it was even created. It’s not their most profitable line, but it’s not about that, anyway. It wasn’t created to make profit; it’s a real product born of a joke. Daily Wire said men & women are different, a handful of people complained to Harry’s Razor’s, Harry’s ended their business with Daily Wire.
It was initially created solely so men didn’t have to buy from Harry’s. I would argue Gillette as well, but Harry’s for sure, that’s what they launched their product on & they bought IHateHarrys.com & has it redirect to Jeremy’s Razors.
I see, thanks for the context!
They’ll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn’t surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.
It’s also funny because most of my heavy conservative coworkers all have beards, trucks, and country stuff because that’s the image.
Now that I think about it, quite a few are bald and shave their heads, sooo… Maybe that’s an angle they could shoot for? Those could be some wild ads.
Good thing I’m not a conservative so I don’t have to shave with that piece of crap.
DE for me!
Didn’t even notice that it’s a SE handle lol. What, they not man enough to handle a real man’s razor?
(This is a joke. Shave with whatever the hell you want as long as you’re not creating a shit ton of plastic)
Liberal corporate culture 🤯
How else would you explain those companies that put a rainbow on their logo for a few weeks every year?
How else would you explain those companies that put a rainbow on their logo for a few weeks every year?
Perforative rainbow washing? 95% of those companies still donate to GOP candidates that fight gay and trans rights every step of the way.
That’s sort of the joke, ‘liberal corporate culture’ are token gestures, corps are team 💵 and nothing else.
Oh. Doy. I completely missed that you were joking. Today is not my sharpest day.
People on Facebook lap this shit up.
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen.
Met people that say these “woke” companies shouldn’t get political but they will happily buy from companies like this. Isn’t surprising at all.
Because they feel affronted and so this is “perfectly acceptable” revenge/payback. They do it with everything… It’s also why they’re ok with dictator Trump. When he says in plain English that he is seeking revenge they feel the same way and want the same thing because revenge implies that they were initially “wronged.”
They always play the victim, it’s so absurd…
People: “Don’t be a raging racist asshole, just treat all people with respect.”
The right: “WAHHHHH! THE LEFT ARE AUTHORITARIANS WHO HATE US!”
Of course. It’s not political if it’s just The Way Things Should Be™
- The two Races: White and Political
- The two Genders: Male and Political
- The two Sexualities: Straight and Political
Their views are never “political” because theirs is the “natural state” of things. They’re on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It’s anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that’s being political.
Spot on. And notably if there’s anything “political” about the person, it is the first thing they mention about them in a conversation. Even if it’s not to say anything bad - it’s just how their brain works.
Hit the nail on its head goddamn
Something that conforms to or supports my views: not political.
Something that contradicts my views: political.
