Do you know, I agreed with this. And then had a look around and other than the Shaving Shack article, I can't find sod all about these awards on the About.com website. And as About.com are basically a "how to do everything" website, I wasn't aware of any awards that they did, or any particular expertise in the field of shaving.

Marketing ploy by The Shaving Shack perhaps?

 

[Jeltz]

Could be a marketing ploy, but if thats the case they should include a category for best online forum and only told us before voting closed

Ah thank you James, I'm being a biff. So it was marketing, just not cynical marketing!

Still. 4 razors total. All cartridges except the 34C? It's comparing apples and oranges.

And very heavy leanings towards Art of Shaving and Bluebeards revenge products. Odd. Just a really odd set of awards. It's like listening to Gardeners World to find out what the best sausages or gearboxes are. :?

Interesting that there's a company called "Shick" in "forth" (I can just about excuse that on the basis of the Americanese employed) but "Shick"??

I think the Merkur's good showing was largely down to members of Badger and Blade voting for the only non-cartridge razor in the category - before their campaign Gillette was winning hands down, so it was great to throw a spanner in the works of Gillette's marketing department

Spanner?

Not even a hint of a ripple.

But, let's assume for one crazy minute that the fella at the top of P&G actually took time out from lighting enormous cigars with $1000 bills and read that poll.

Do you really think he would waste a single second giving a flying what'snames about what a few weird internet enthusiasts think?

I would. I'd cease stroking Pussy Galore, reach over to the intercom built into my Baroque inspired desk (available finished in gilt, ebony and white from Ikea, designed by: Ima Bodass) and say...........kill them.

That's exactly what happened. I wouldn't say a spanner, more like a tiny little screw
