1989 Gillette ‘The Best a Man Can Get’ Commercial

We could kill an entire afternoon watching vintage commercials like this one from Gillette. Certainly, most men well into their shaving years will remember the jingle in this ad – I was 5 at the time, & recall it vividly – and appreciate the kind of ritual shaving used to represent in advertising over decades passed. Maybe it’s just us, but we’d love for razor brands to stop one-upping each other with ‘challenges’ & ‘tests’, and just get back to the basics of what it means to become a man.
