Shaving has always been one of the less exciting bathroom activities. Wouldn’t it be so much better if it were like a video game? Well now you can pretend it is, with the Gillette Fusion Gamer razor.
The razor is supposedly designed to reduce skin irritation even when shaving against the grain, which is kind of like travelling up the pipes in Mario, I guess. Gillette are also partnering with EA sports for the Gillette EA SPORTS Champion Gamer on Xbox360 competition, which has some pretty cool prizes on offer.
And to celebrate the launch of the competition, Gillette are offering Giz readers the chance to win one of two Gillette Fusion Gamer prize packs, including the new FIFA 10 and Tiger Woods 10 games as well as the brand new Fusion Gamer razor, Gillette Fusion Hydra Gel Pure & Sensitive, and Shave Care range worth $260 each. Plus, five runners up will win a Gillette shaving pack worth $60 each.
To enter, we want you to write a limerick including the words Gillette and Gizmodo below. Comp closes Friday and winners will be announced next week. Good luck!

Gillette is a brand we know
Report PermalinkWhose sponsorships were designed to sow,
but Theirry Henry is a handballing athlete,
and Tiger Woods is a lady lusting cheat
so they turned to Gizmodo
to lift their name from the tallow.

There was a golf star who represented Gillette
A lot of action did his big black Wood get
While driving his balls towards the hole
a busty blonde moaned ‘Ohh Woah’
when she heard about Natal on Gizmodo.
