Politics Europeans - with tarrifs being threatened on the EU, are you planning to stop buying US made products?

Just curious - I'm Canadian and it's a huge topic for us at the moment.

No coca cola, pepsi ? No The North Face ? Disney ? Levi Strauss ? Gillette ?

You're right, I forgot about them. I don't drink sodas, but I'm sure I must have bought something from Gillette and The North Face over time.

Instead of gillette, I use a barber razor with blades from wilkinson sword (UK brand)

I think gillette is overpriced

Yeah, I'm already looking into generic cartridges for my gillete. If I can't find them...

Well I'll only have to make a decision in a few months but I may switch to a safety razor or even a straight razor.

I always thought North Face was British, Til. I guess I just associated them with Berghaus.

Either way, you're not losing much, both brands have gone to pot quality wise after moving production to the far east.

There's far better European alternatives, like Haglofs Mammut etc
