The idea was triggered by a Nielsen study, which showed that 77% of women prefer clean shaven men. So we created a woman's movement called W.A.L.S. (Women Against Lazy Stubble). It started on Facebook and resulted in a movement which was also supported by three famous Bollywood actresses. Gillette stepped in and supported the movement by dropping the price of its Mach3 razor. This created huge excitement across all media. It became national conversation. Women began to shave men in a unique mall activation! The final multiplier happened when about 2000 men came together and shaved their stubble in public!
