I don't want to talk about how he's on all the teams in the Marvel Universe or how he's on all of Marvel's comic covers. I want to talk about his fucking razor. I can't decide if Schick releasing an original X-Men Origins: Wolverine razor -- so you too can have preposterous sideburns -- is deeply moronic or the greatest fucking thing ever. On the one hand, it's hilariously bizarre. On the other, I'm a bitter man who will never be able to grow a beard thanks to thousands of years of horrible Scottish facial hair genes. I'll have to ponder this a while. Thanks to Laraneia for the tip.

Yeah, it's official. Only Hugh Jackman can pull off that look.

Maybe it was the lighting they used, but his beard looked very fake.
I wonder how much those razors are?

Wait, are you saying you're Scottish and you CAN'T grow facial hair?! ... what?

Err. Whut?
I agree with MasterOodFan. The beard looks mega fake. It looked like he glued pubic hair onto his face. Because ya know- normal people do that these days. Mmmhmm.
OH GOD THE HAIR LMFAO No. Okay. No. You can totally have short hair with the sideburns and look like Wolverine but you don't have to have the wiggly-doos/curls. I'd be embarrassed if I saw someone like that in public. So would Wolverine.
I wish they made the razor correctly- just like the claws. Where you can attach them to your knuckles and cut the shit outta yo' face :D ! Huzzah!

@Beany McPickles: I was thinking the same thing, but thought I shouldn't mention it...

I think it would sell more if the end resulted in the dude looking like the Blob.

If they're gonna make a Wolverine razor it should be made out of Adamantium, none of this puny titanium.

Fox just won't stop giving me reasons not to see this movie. Gee, the really can stop putting forth the effort. I'm sold, totally sold that I should not go see this movie.

Yeah, that's amazingly stupid. Thanks, Fox, for taking that final step to guarantee that any last bit of interest I had in the movie was destroyed. Fortunately, this will probably be about as good as X3 so skipping the movie means I won't miss anything.

This is possibly one of the most embarrassingly bad sell-out adverts I've seen in a while.
Plus, the end result of using this razor appears to be that you get a strange, patchy beard which looks nothing like Wolverine's anyway.

Why the Shick Quatro? Wolvie only has 3 claws on each hand

BorgQueen said:
Christ on a cracker, really? I just hope the tie-in doesn't extend to a Wolvie face-shaving scene where he is holding his razor awkwardly in order to get the Shick logo in the shot.
However if he shaves his face with one of his claws that will be SUPER AWESOME

Idiot, this isn't a Wolverine inspired razor. They've sold these for a long time. They're just using the movie to promote it.

Everyone knows Wolverine doesn't shave. He went for months tubed-up the asshole with that Weapon X helmet on, and the only things that grew out were his monsterburns and hairwings. His upper lip and chin stop at stubble.

I happen to be friends with the actor in question in this commercial and the owner of the YouTube channel this is linking from.
For the record, most of the facial hair you see on him at the end is his actual facial hair, and not fake. Whether he pulls off the look is another matter.

i thought the commercial was good. I think some people don't realize marketing and what companies will do to sell their product. I'm pretty sure that dudes around the country are like. "That's a cool razor"

I found this horrible ad on a machine in 7-11. They also had 'collectible' slushee cups with Wolverine Gambit and Sabertooth. (Sorry, no Dudepeel.)

I believe that the way commercials are now, we need a little something like this. It's not his fault that the beard looks fake ( which it's not and I don't understand how you could think it is) and I think he did a hell of job with this corny movie tie-in. His expressions absolutely kill me

Lols. The commercial was funny. I've seen the movie as well after playing warcraft. Well yeah, fake or not the beard suits Hugh. I can't imagine any other actor that would be able to carry that look aside from him.

I think he looks precious. If the goal of this commercial was to make me want to get a sex change and load up on testosterone so I could grow facial hair and subsequently trim it in a Wolverine-inspired fashion with this brand of razor... It worked. WONDERS.
