Gillette Contour Plus ‘High Tech’ TV Advert (1988)
The advert shows a young man walking through a futuristic/technology styled gym area. The advert then cuts to multiple shots of the razor with shots of the man working out in between. We then see the man going to the bathroom to use the razor. We then cut to shots of the man shaving with the razor, to end with him rubbing his chin and smiling, turning to another camera and hitting a punching bag. We then cut to an exploded view of the razor that animates back in to the complete razor.
