The Barbasol face gets all the girls. THIS has been POPULAR in advertising.

It has not shifted from one product to another it has transcended in to anything that can be marketed at men can get you girls and MORE girls if necessary.

Does it sell you? Might, depends mostly on the viewer. Might even sell the women hoping their man has a bit more luster to him.

This isn't really about the product but a byproduct of the product which is all but totally disrelated but it probably attracts (or distracts in probably more cases) people enough to make the sale.
