Gillette’s Close Shave with Trouble

Gillette’s three most prominent current brand ambassadors are, interestingly, having a close shave with trouble.

For professional sportsmen, inking an endorsement deal with Gillette is as coveted as winning a major title. Its three most prominent current brand ambassadors are Tiger Woods, Thierry Henry and Roger Federer—who, interestingly, are having a close shave with trouble. While talismanic French footballer Thierry Henry was recently branded a cheat when he blatantly handled the ball to set up a crucial goal that shut Ireland out of the 2010 Fifa World Cup, every day a new waitress reveals accounts of sexual encounters with Tiger Woods. If Roger Federer is feeling left out, he could cook up stories about drug use in a tell-all autobiography, or simply grow a beard.
