BIC Robo Razor Pokes Fun at Razor Blade Obsession

robo_razor_bic.jpg

Eschewing the “more is better” approach to razor blade marketing, BIC is out with a commercial that calls bullshit on Gillette’s and Schick’s apparent fixation with the ever increasing number of blades a razor seemingly must have.

In the ad, we have what can only be described as a Roomba for the Face. A device, which BIC affectionately calls Robo Razor, magically attaches itself to your face, has rotating micro blades and is guaranteed to put an end to the tedium of shaving.

Created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the campaign will air through May in Canada
