LMAO! I had the exact same thought, but you beat me to it. :D

Suffice to say it wasn't the first picture that came up in Google images. I really must put safe search back on. :D

Re: Animal testing - Wilkinson razors
 

I wouldn't have needed Google, I've got a copy of it on my drive [I think I posted it in the Funny pics thread ages ago, or else maybe that's where I originally found it... :shrug:], was thinking of looking for it when I saw your post. ;)

Red skin, owned by Gillette, must be a Liverpool player ;)

Re: Animal testing - Wilkinson razors
 

Why would you test a razor on an animal :erm: Hair is completely different.

I thought you just did waxing and polishing, Russ? :D

:Sprint:

Well, dragging this thread back on topic......:D

It's not the razors themselves, Wilkinsons do shaving foam, deoderant etc.

I'm trying to move away from animal-testing and unethical products and want to make sure as much as possible that the stuff I buy is ethically-sourced. So it's bye-bye to Gillette and lynx :D

Been using them for several weeks now - but shhh, don't tell anyone ;)

They don't do razors though unfortunately :(

Mate at Uni - his girlfriend used one of their glitter massage bars on him. Come the morning, certain parts of him, um, were apparently discovered to be iridescent in the sunlight shining through the window :rofl: Kept finding bits of glitter for weeks.

Suppose you could always email one or two razor companies and ask about their ethical policies. Failing that, it would have to be a cut throat razor - wouldn't fancy it myself :erm:

Re: Animal testing - Wilkinson razors
 

If a company says it does not test on animals, it's just because they are using the same formula/composition as another company that has tested on animals.

Re: Animal testing - Wilkinson razors
 

I have heard that too.

Animal testing isn't what it used to be guys, most animal testing is medical rather than retail.

We don't spray deodorant into cute bunny's eyes any more because groups like PETA kept blowing up and burning down research labs (when they weren't busy digging up peoples grandparents)

Personaly, I think testing on animals is a perfectly rational thing to do PROVIDED it's for beneficial medical reasons.
Testing on animals for consumers is just wrong on every level.
