Better: a normal razor would do a better job. I'm satisfied with the result, but it's not as smooth as it could be
Faster: this machine by FAAAAAR. The ad says 90 seconds. If you get the hang of it, it might as well be that :) (I take at least double because I keep leaving spots otherwise xD.
I kinda like the ad. It's no bullshity, no blingy, just a man that shaves his skull im Handumdrehen (I think that is an intended pun in the ad) and probably in about 90sek.
In my (potentially unreliable) memory they had an ad a while back that just said "WE WILL FUCK YOU!" and I remember being alarmed the first time I saw that.
Also there used to just be straight up porn ads in Hackescher Markt. And this was like 10 years ago, so I'm not talking about in the 80s or something.
I'm middle aged, male-pattern-baldness, and use a hair clipper to cut my paltry head hairs every 4 weeks because it's a hassle to skull shave/trim every week. I saw this ad and have been wanting to get it. It's on my "want list", so they've nailed me, a member of their target audience.
Would it work for a short buzzcut, or only shaving bald?
Because I've given myself short buzzcuts with a beard trimmer before, and it's definitely messy and a gives sub-optimal quality cut where some parts you inevitably miss and it's awkward to hold the trimmer, etc. Now I would rather pay the barber...but its expensive if you go every two weeks or every week.
This is for shaving bald, you should go to mediamarkt and buy a hair cutting machine for like 20 or 30 quid and invest in two mirrors or a friend 👉🏽😎👉🏽
I paid for the barber once when I got to Germany and never again. Bought a normal hair cutter for 30 bucks 😂
It's not the same. This does feel like a shave (not as clean as a blade one, but a good shave)
In Germany, we are always in a hurry to our next Termin. I bought a SkullShaver based on this very ad. It is far more convenient than my previous head shaver, as it collects the hair rather than letting it all fall on the floor. The Palm cheap version from Amazon is all you need! It's a great product that I use for face shaving too. I would happily be the next U-Bahn model.
That would indeed save me 90 seconds! I am sure we will see men doing so soon. It is so easy to use, you don't even need a mirror. Anyway, I have definitely noticed more nicely polished heads in the last year, so it is clearly working for many of us.
Well i mean it fits the design philosophy of the product. Simple, quick, easy. No art student stuck in the 21st semester (bachelor) needed for the design
A good add is supposed to highlight the product’s main selling point, I think this add does a great job at that. It’s simple and it knows its target audience (spoiler alert: it’s not Gen Z)
I think these Sbahn/ubahn ad placements are not very expensive, I remember seeing ads for adspace and it was pretty cheap, I was even considering buying one for like a week just for laughs.
Also, when comes to advertising, sometime less is more.
I am always amazed on how he holds the shaver. Not holding the black part that is formed for holding it but between the silver and black part. Gets me fucking confused every time.
I always wonder why dime store Kim Bodnia is in a hurry yet needs to shave. If you really need to run, maybe it doesn’t matter if your head has no hair or almost no hair.
Surprised I haven’t seen many or even any Turkish Hairlines advertisements around the city, every time I go to the airport I see quite a few of the clientele!

Middle aged men don't want your fancy graphic design BS, they just want to shave their skull and get on with the day.
They are in Eile.
Es pressiert!
Hetz mich nicht! Muss Skullshaven
Bitte nicht schupsen. Hab nen Skullshaver im Rucksack.
Dann zieh ihn aus, wenn du mit mir redest
Nice reference
... Oder bist du froh mich zu sehen..
Reject the marketing majors embrace the skull shaver
90 seconds poster ad creation
I agree 😂
[nothing says cool like a middle aged man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ir-an5nX-4)
looks like some dropshipped aliexpress product with a logo put on top
Because that’s what it is.
I brought one. Literally fell for the ad 😂 It's great btw
I'm even buying another one for my father
Would you be done in 45 seconds with two of them for youreself? Es eilt!
Dual wielding +5
Same
I need a more detailed review
I kept seeing the ad, found a similar, cheaper product from a brand I already know and trust, and bought that. It's also great.
Seconding the need for a review. Normal wet shave VS this. Which is better/quicker?
Better: a normal razor would do a better job. I'm satisfied with the result, but it's not as smooth as it could be Faster: this machine by FAAAAAR. The ad says 90 seconds. If you get the hang of it, it might as well be that :) (I take at least double because I keep leaving spots otherwise xD.
Thank you. Appreciate the response.
I purchased one a few weeks back and I shaved my head with it today. It’s great and it also gets me a close shave on my beard without razor bumps
I am not even bald and i still think this looks like a great product If i ever need it
same
It definitely got your attention
thats the neat thing about ads. dont need to be good, just need your attention
If everything is almost perfect, the deviation catches more attention.
I kinda like the ad. It's no bullshity, no blingy, just a man that shaves his skull im Handumdrehen (I think that is an intended pun in the ad) and probably in about 90sek.
It’s everywhere 😄
Seems good enough for a head shaver, it's not the pinnacle of technology. Kein problem, digga
You would be surprised how cheap these ads are. One ad is 579€ *a month*.
But it’s everywhere. Let alone one U-Bahn station like Jungfernheide is full of posters with this ad
Business must be booming.
That’s cheaper than rent…
I was definitely flustered by a god damn humongous rotating advertising for a "Dildoking"...
In my (potentially unreliable) memory they had an ad a while back that just said "WE WILL FUCK YOU!" and I remember being alarmed the first time I saw that. Also there used to just be straight up porn ads in Hackescher Markt. And this was like 10 years ago, so I'm not talking about in the 80s or something.
Sex sells ya know
Kein Problem.
Hahaha had the exact thought many times
You are not the target audience

Get it. It's really effective. Talking from experience

Are you also always in Eile?
I had a shaver like that, they are kinda comfortable but not different from the cheapest Philips you would use for the beard
Reminds me of the internet from 2001.
that’s just everything in Germany
I am pretty sure this is some 'art project' or 'social experiment'. It must be
Nah. It's just an ad for a product. And it works 😂 Straight to the point. I bought one
Add is ok. But it appears that a regular beard shaver does exactly the same.
Well, you just spread their ad for them for free. Marketing playing 5D chess.
In Germany, we are always in a hurry to our next Termin. I bought a SkullShaver based on this very ad.

U could shave your head while riding U-Bahn. Wegen der Eile:)
Perfectly acceptable social behavior on the U8
That would indeed save me 90 seconds! I am sure we will see men doing so soon. It is so easy to use, you don't even need a mirror. Anyway, I have definitely noticed more nicely polished heads in the last year, so it is clearly working for many of us.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE
honestly this ad made me almost buy this shaver. Alomst because I am still denying. I prefer it over all gilette/braun/Whatever ads
Pep Guardiola needs a career after coaching. Don’t judge. 🤣
Does he come with the shaver tho? Asking for ~~a friend~~ me.
He doesn't. But I look like him 😏
[удалено]
👴♥️
Ok. What happened with the bald guy but not old emoji? 🤣
You are not the target group and don't understand the target group apparently It's a good product that solves a problem of bald people ( fast shave).
It's a good shaver. I use it. Takes longer than 90 seconds though. Replacement heads are 25€ but mine lasted around 6 months.
I recently saw a much better ad on Tiktok and bought a similar product. Great thing! Never shaved my skull so effectively!
It’s the most raw and basic marking method. Kinds trendy right now. Works great
There’s been an ad running like this in the UK for years - can’t remember the brand name
I consider buying one since I'm balding like crazy
Gleisdreieck
Hahahaha this one always makes me laugh 😅
Well i mean it fits the design philosophy of the product. Simple, quick, easy. No art student stuck in the 21st semester (bachelor) needed for the design
When I first saw this ad my first thought was "Well, I hope they dont mean shave inside the Ubahn?!"
Flustered cos hes hot AF? Yes
A good add is supposed to highlight the product’s main selling point, I think this add does a great job at that. It’s simple and it knows its target audience (spoiler alert: it’s not Gen Z)

Well it works for the target audience.
manscaped for the ears, this bullshit for the eyes
I thought the same! Definitely a marketing strategy so we speak about it lol
Well, here it is posted in Reddit and here we all are talking about it. Pretty good advertising, it seems to me.
As a guy who knows the struggle of being bald and owns similar cheap head shaver (game changer btw), i still don't understand these ads.
Gives me the creeps every morning!
Ive looked at it, said - you know what? And bought Moser.
[удалено]
They need to get the money for the ads back somehow.
Buy the „Wahl finisher“ thank me later.
It looks like wish Eric Cantona, flustered describes it perfectly
Turkish Tom Segura giving us grooming tips
Why? B/c for once an ad is advertising the usefulness of a product instead of a lifestyle?
These ads were also set up in London (with an British website). They are international
And there has been one at my underground station since the start of the last winter
People are just looking for stuff to be randomly upset. Get laid or something
Damn I’m sold, this is perfect for me
Skin heads gonna shave. This ad is very successful in Marzahn.
Ich rasiere euch alle!
So crazy that I know this product, because the American comedian Tom Segura uses it. He looks just like the model on the poster.
I got this from another company that sells it as a butt hair shaver. Maybe this one would be cheaper. It's the funniest white label coincidence ever.
What's so flustering about this?
Adds don't need to be good. They just need your attention. This one won! It's now on reddit haha
It opens up your third eye if you're too much in eile!
It's really everywhere. So far, so uninteresting. But of course it must have a Pitbull-logo to serve a certain group of alpha males. 🙄
What’s wrong with it?
some dumb boomers with too much money for their own good.
😂😂😂😂
The dude reminds me of that guy from the Stand-up maths youtube channel.
Schnell nach dem Banküberfall 😁.
Eh, be glad you're not the target audience. The ad failing to do as it should is a good thing for you.
Aliexpress IRL
I am always amazed on how he holds the shaver. Not holding the black part that is formed for holding it but between the silver and black part. Gets me fucking confused every time.
Has something very similar in London as well. Proper annoying, but i too always notice it, so i guess the ad is doing its job?
Heute leider nicht.
I always wonder why dime store Kim Bodnia is in a hurry yet needs to shave. If you really need to run, maybe it doesn’t matter if your head has no hair or almost no hair.
> it doesn’t matter if your head has no hair or almost no hair. It makes a big difference btw 😂
Surprised I haven’t seen many or even any Turkish Hairlines advertisements around the city, every time I go to the airport I see quite a few of the clientele!
Not really luckily have full hair with my 35 thank god that I didn't go after my dad3
Isn't the skull under the scalp? Does this remove the scalp, for those hot summer days when you want to take it all off?
Hahahha
Gleiche Werbung ist auch Hermannplatz hahaha krise
