Subject: Feedback and questions about your Gillette Sensor razors
Gillette Sensor makes my blood flow!I’ve been shaving now since I was 15, and I must say that your Gillette Sensor razors are the best I have ever used. My facial hair follicles are thick and uncompromising, but those razors of yours do the trick. Kudos on that!
Unfortunately, the Gillette Sensor razors also do a magnificent job of slicing tiny cuts in my face that bleed for hours. You see, I just got done shaving and as I sit here, dark red droplets are splashing onto my laptop keyboard.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I was always taught to splash ice cold water on your face, hold a razor in a tightly clenched fist and then hack the razor down onto your face in the same manner as a 19th century farmer would hack down wheat with a sickle.
Am I not using your razors correctly? Can you give me some guidance? Also, do you have any products or tips that can help to more rapidly coagulate flowing blood?
Ok, the blood is pooling up all around me now, and the carpeting in here looks like there’s been a murder. I’m going to go put a tourniquet around my neck.
Slowly losing consciousness,
John Farnswell
P.S. Please hurry with the answers. I don’t know how much … longer ….. I ……. can ……………….last

Here are a few solutions. You can become Amish, you can convert to Islam, or you can become a social outcast and live in a van down by the river. All of these choices require no shaving and thus no bleeding. Your employer requires shaving and grooming and therefore your employer is your problem.
We may be hitting on the solution here... give a package of these to your employer!
I can't stand shaving. I wish we all could walk around like cavemen. It would be a lot less of a hassle.
I think Gillette has a responsibility to it's consumer base to, not only include instructional DVD's on proper shaving, but also that the blades should be coated in extracted human clotting factor.
I recently had an incident with this same razor trying to shave parts of my body that have been left untouched by light for at least five or six years. The ensuing disaster has made it so that I am now rendered unappealing to the opposite sex. I have proven this to the female clerks at the outlet where I buy my Gilette razors by showing them aforementioned shaved regions and measuring their responses. The data doesn't lie.
