Weekend Werewolf

Beware of the Weekend Werewolf

Majority of Australian women are steering clear of their stubbly partners until they are clean shaven on Monday morning

Australia take heed; the Gillette Shave Trends Report has today revealed that 90% of men stop shaving before the weekend leading to a new sub species of male. The report has found that each weekend the streets of urban and country Australia are becoming overrun with men sporting scruffy, unkempt and scratchy beards all because they can't be bothered (61%) to shave, a phenomenon that Gillette has coined The Weekend Werewolf.
Most Australian She-Wolves are avoiding getting close to their feral partners until the weekend is over, with 65% of women in a relationship with a Weekend Werewolf preferring to kiss their Alpha-Male when he's clean shaven on Monday morning.

Gillette has found that the issue is so widespread that Weekend Werewolves have been spotted regularly in dark bars, purchasing steaks at the supermarkets and even found asleep on couches in suburban living rooms. The report has highlighted that becoming too relaxed over the weekend leads to a decrease in mating confidence with only 4% of men think they have a shot with the ladies when sporting with Weekend Werewolf stubble.

While this mysterious creature will ditch the razor because they don't have to work (38%) on Saturday or Sunday, the report also revealed that the transformation is temporary. 54% of men revert back to their usual clean shaven state on Monday morning and 87% of men only feel ready for work once the stubble is removed.

'I am definitely guilty of transforming into a Weekend Werewolf. I think once the weekend approaches us blokes tend to become a bit more laid back, get a bit scruffy and sport a bit of stubble – a look my wife is not particularly keen on. She is definitely quicker to go for a cheeky kiss after I have had my Monday morning shave", said Gillette Ambassador Tom Williams.

The research showed the many other benefits to slaying the beast on a Monday:
* Half of all men think they are more popular with the ladies when sporting a smooth look – yet they still can't get over their laziness turning in to a Weekend Werewolf over a period of only a few days
* The ubiquitous hipster beard is not a hit with women, with only 3% finding a beard sexy
* 80% of women, single or in a relationship, prefer kissing a clean shaven face
* Weekend Werewolf's are pups at heart as most would sacrifice their weekend stubble for an important event such as a wedding 64%, night out with friends 51%, a date 50% or a work function 49%

Gillette spokesperson says, 'When you stop shaving for a few days it can be harder to slay the beast as the beard growth is quite thick, so take care you don't nick or irritate the skin."
After howling at the moon, Gillette recommends the following -Silver Bullet Steps' for shaving the Weekend Werewolf:
* First wash your face with warm water and Gillette Series Thermal Face Scrub to soften the hair follicles

* Then apply a Gillette shave gel or foam to the growth
* Arm yourself, using a fresh sharp Gillette ProGlide blade pull the skin taut and shave with the grain of the hair
* You will find your -fur' will come off with less irritation and ease
* Rinse your skin and Protect by moisturising with Gillette Series Intense Cooling Balm
* Remember to Reload your razor cartridge frequently, especially when your Weekend Werewolf is most fierce
