Shave it like Beckham
Got the Friday afternoon doldrums? Click on over to the Gillette / David Beckham website and play some soccer... er... football.

“I am really delighted with this razor,” said David Beckham. “To have an M3Power customized for me is amazing and for Gillette to give it to me for Father’s Day is a lovely gesture.”
