Feel Sharp, Play Sharp: Gillette and Razer Team Up for the Ultimate Collaboration in Grooming and Gaming

BOSTON--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Gillette™, the world’s largest male grooming company, and Razer™, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, have teamed up to launch the ultimate collaboration in grooming and gaming. The two brands - who both have rich history and tradition within the community - meet at the intersection of design, innovation, and cutting-edge technology to unveil the limited-edition series of Razer-branded GilletteLabs with Exfoliating Bar products.

Set to start rolling out in stores and online at the end of August, consumers will be able to purchase the GilletteLabs with Exfoliating Bar razor - the latest innovation from the Gillette brand - with Razer’s iconic triple-headed snake logo and acid green trademarks. Additionally, gamers and fans can engage with the brands at the largest gaming events in the world as well as activating campaigns through the Gillette Gaming Alliance roster of streamers and Razer influencers.

“Razer, an elite gaming company, and Gillette, the world’s leading razor brand, is not just a naming coincidence,” said Daniel Ordonez, Global Brand Franchise Leader for Gillette. “We’ve been fans of Razer with its cutting-edge technology for a long time; it’s a brand that everyone recognizes in both gaming and technology. We’re thrilled to elevate the shaving and gaming experience through this exciting venture, marking a new step for us in gaming culture. Gamers and fans worldwide will enjoy our latest collaboration - the perfect combination of form, function, and design.”

These two brands have long had an admiration for each other - occupying the same spaces in gaming, coming together at events through the years, and discussing the idea of collaborating to provide the gaming community with something they would want and use. Earlier this year, an April Fool’s Day video - put out by Razer - teased a shaving mouse to the community - a subtle yet fun nod to the potential partnership. The video generated significant momentum, signaling to the two brands that it was a great idea and time to bring the collaboration to life.

“After Razer Razer was introduced on April Fool’s Day, we’ve been inundated with requests to design one. We’re excited to give our fans what they asked for,” explained Ayesha Durante, VP, Global Head of Marketing at Razer. “This collaboration between two powerhouses has resulted in a co-created design, featuring the best of Razer and Gillette, with a focus on quality and performance.”

The two iconic brands come together under the platform of “Feel Sharp, Play Sharp” - highlighting the ethos of when you feel sharp, you play sharp, whether it be gaming or in life.
