I should add that Gillette does make money off those since P&G owns The Art of Shaving. They just want to segregate people into two markets. Cartridges for the masses and TAOS pricey creams for the high end. It's the idea of a revival of DE shaving at the mass level which scares them. So long as it's just confined to B&B and those willing to spend big bucks on RAD, SSAD, etc. they're happy to sell to both groups.
It would be interesting to see if there is a spike in new B&B members over the coming weeks following some of the comments on that Facebook page. Seems like it's converted a few Fusion users.
Yip, "Gillette" already makes some pretty good soaps and creams under the AOS name. They last longer than a can of Gillette shave foam, but since they are also priced to cost about 6 times as much as the foam the profits for P&G are probably a wash.
It would be difficult to find the same sort of profit balancing by selling DE razors.
There should be a Sticky which says "Welcome ex-cartridge shavers!"
The amazing power of social media!
Keep it quiet B&B members.
A flood of new members giving up their cartridges will only mean no more New OC Longs available.

Yep, supply and demand will push prices through the roof.
This is one of the best trolls I've seen in a long time... such excellence. Kudos to the participants!
Superb response from the users.
I think my favorite comment was one of the simplest. "#STOPINNOVATING" 
I had no idea that P&G owned AoS.
I was in there while I was at the mall the other day on a C.O. Bigelow mission and wasn't very inspired to buy anything. It seemed expensive to me.
I'd rather buy from a vendor online and try other well-respected products for more reasonable prices.

Nope. They do not care about DE and SE shavers.
Cheaper cartridge brands getting a larger share of the market (probably mostly outside the USA) will be a much bigger concern for them. Why buy Gillette when your drugstore also sells Mach 3 copies for 50% of the price?
I couldn't resist doing a little flaming on their facebook thread myself
If all Of B&B got on there to post.... hehehe maybe we should organize a peaceful invasion.
I considering giving a shout out to B&B members on there but kinda figured that it's not a great idea to mention us there.
I just commented and posted my Red Tip '55
thats great!I love this honest backlash from customers/DE users. Awesome!! Gillette really need to see and hear this.
