I had to check it wasn't 1st April again, but apparently this is very real - I think I posted it in the correct section though ;)

"according to secret marketing materials obtained by the Wall Street journal"..."when the marketing department took us for a slap up lunch".
 
The only option left according to this article (Harvard Business Review) is a revolutionary concept - single blade razors:

Sound dubious, the domain www.flexball.co.uk is still available and so is others (not the .com).
Usually the marketing machine would have hoover up anything that remotely sound like the product.

Can't see what advantage this type of device can offer, but then may I am wrong and P&G is about to pull a rabbit from somewhere.
 
Balls! If it's under 20$ I'm going to get one.
Why? It just so stupid that it won't be around long and bound to be a part of shaving history!!
 
Oh dear, this clip should be titled 'the worst prep known to man '.
Got to love the marketing dep in p&g,they sure working hard and always,did.

As it is the 'Fusion with Flexball' I wonder if they would be interested in our very own 'shave the scrotum' thread?

I couldn't watch much longer. That looks so painful!

He's prep is crap and doesn't do the r&d any justice.

With the right prep, I bet it will be great
