Watch this: See how Gillette designs razors for the superheroes of the Justice League
Since its Friday and we're about ready to kick back and enjoy the weekend, how about a silly video from Gillette on how its designed its new Justice League-themed range of razors?
The ad, called (obviously) 'The Best A Super Hero Can Get', sees a tongue-in-cheek R&D facility trying to work out how to build a razor that can shave The Flash, Batman and the rest of the JL without breaking/rusting/melting. Like we said, it's really silly - and how they missed referencing Henry Cavill's CGI'd-out 'tache, we'll never know - but it's dumb fun all the same. Check it out below.
