a discourse on shaving gel packaging
I use a specific brand of shaving gel because i have some sensitive skin on my face and have noticed that this product offers the smoothest shave. Neutrogena for Men Razor Defence. It really works. But thats not why i'm writing this entry. The old packaging was an old style can in plain grey on the bottom half of the can, white on the top half and had the lettering in blue. I ran out last week so i went and bought some more. They changed the appearance of the can, now its in a more modern looking dispenser and also is a dark charcoal grey can with a translucent top. I like the way both cans look and was particularly impressed that the new can was not emblazoned with 'new look' like so many other things. I hate it when products have the 'new look' sticker on them as if to make people think the product has changed/gotten better...whatever. I find it to be terrible and affirm my use of this shaving gel because it does not pander to the crowd...they updated their look to be more modern and didn't really care to make anyone aware of it or bring attention to it...they just did it. I like that.
