Does anyone else find this ad with the African Razor Goddess to be one of the most alluring straight razor advertisements ever produced? (Or am I just a dirty old man?) ;)

I sent them an email telling them that I thought the ad more appropriate for a massage parlor with 'happy endings.' They replied thanking me for my input. :shrug:
It catches my gaze and causes me to pause every time I see it. Dirty Old Man? Of course you are, as am I :) Shall we start a club then? The ‘SRPDOM’ club - The Straight Razor Place Dirty Old Men Club. Has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it?Quote:

Besides that, it confuses me - the words say spring, yet the colours say Autumn!

I'm lost. I have no idea what you're taliing about here. :( . No hang on. I just saw what it was. I don't generally bother looking at the ads, and that one is no different as I've never looked at the words in that banner ad, having never gotten past the chick:).

Ahhh! I was too fast off the mark. Yeah, I too have stared and stared at that picture, but unlike most of you it was to try and see what the razor was.
James.
Personally, I am not so much allured as much I am perplexed. I always see that advert and think, "Why is a woman dancing with shaving equipment?"
Yes, I can see how the direction would be "pretty lady! *click*", but as for me... I see a psychotic female slashing at the air around her...
Obviously I am not the targeted audience.

my dear jimbi, hasn't it occurred to you that the mismatch may be just an artifact from you living in the backwards world down under :)Quote:
