Gillette has gone from grooming to landscaping in England, where it painted, and then shaved, a huge portrait of Roger Federer in a field. The concept of the stunt, which promotes Gillette's Fusion ProGlide razors, was helped along by the company's Facebook community, who obviously enjoyed Federer's trick-shot video from a while back. The whole thing's a bit silly, frankly—a far cry from the recent Derek Jeter billboard in New York City, which shaved the Yankee captain daily.
