My First Vibrator!
Last week I (and Patrick too) received the Gilette Fusion from Buzzer.nl. They give away products to people so they will tell their friends about it. This is the first time I joined a Buzzer campaign since I met the founder, Willem Sodderland, of Buzzer.nl two years ago during an IPAN event.
The product I am testing is a vibrator that shaves shaving set that vibrates. Gilette also provides its testers/buzzers with shaving creme and after shave balm.
You are free to say whatever you want about the product so I was planning to be a critical as I could be. I know that Gilette bought Duracell in 1996 and I always imagined the Gilete owners in a brainstorm going something like this:
CEO: Ok, guys, how the hell are we going to combine our wet shaving tools with those damn Duracell batteries…
Manager: We could add a radio?
CEO: …
Manager: A Flashlight?
CEO: …
Manager: Remote Control?
CEO: …
Manager: How about a vibrator!?
CEO (annoyed): Yeah right.
Manager (blushing): …
Both: …
CEO: You know, you might have something there…
And that is how we got the Gilette Fusion Power!
As you can understand I wasn’t too enthousiastic about the prospect of shaving myself with a vibrator. But I have used it 5 times now and it actually works! It feels great (not THAT great, you pervert) and gives me a smooth shave.
I’m just waiting for the clever entrepreneur to produce a small attachement turning this thing into a real vibrator.

That’s what I thought (’clever’) when I was shown this:

Hi Boris,
Glad you joined the campaign, and that despite your healthy cynicism the product has survived your bathroom and is allowed to stay ; ) How about the back trimmer (blade # 6 !), any use for that (I find it quite buzzable…) ?
Best, Willem (Sodderland)
[...] Could it be that my Vibrator post scared them off? Maybe they don’t like my face? Maybe I’m right after all about Google cheating on its search results to promote their own services? [...]
My first vibrator was rabbit vibrator.
Rabbit vibrator is made from silicone and it has 8 rows of rotating reversible pearl beads.
It’s cool.
i think it’s a lot of fun to shave using a vibrating shaver…that’s just so clever….
