Bruno Kernen is David Beckham's successor

The Swiss downhill skier is the new advertising medium for Gillette razor blades in German-speaking countries. Even the news agency SDA wondered how the Bernese Oberland nature boy of all people was supposed to keep up with the metrosexual, perfumed celebrity kicker as an advertising medium when it reported the deal on Thursday. However, Kernen's nerves are by no means fluttering in the face of his oversized predecessor, as the skier probably has a few things over the footballer when it comes to shaving: "In summer I shave my armpits and chest hair, in winter my legs," he revealed to Blick - it's more practical with all the massages.
Bruno Kernen is also a man in demand in other respects at the moment, as the athlete has been able to win Helvetia Insurance as his new head sponsor. We can only hope that the sporting successes will not fail to materialize in the coming winter
- It is already more aerodynamic and well insured.
