Greetings,
(Face & Head Shave.)
A new shave set up to start the weekend...It's been a while since i last used the Gillette guard... I have mentioned before i do a full head shave once a month after my weekly 'no guard' buzzcut with my wahl hair clippers.
When i first started to fully shave my head and before i had the confidence to shave with a DE or SE razor my razor of choice was the Gillette guard which are made in India for the subcontinent market.
It's the only cartridge razor i still occasionally use normally for shaving the back of my neck pick ups or a quick no fuss shave...My first maiden shave with it felt like i was shaving with a potato peeler due to it's tilting head, but what i really like about is it doesn't clog up due to it been open comb and having a large blade gap, one of the few if any open comb single edge cartridge razors on the market. It's excellent for tight spots and problem areas. My only crits are because the razor is made of plastic which isn't eco-friendly or recyclable and it's very light making it 'Top heavy' but that's expected considering what it costs to make you're not going to get a shave from it like a DE or a SE razor granted, but for what it is, the overall shave performance from this one-blade cartridge razor is totally acceptable and easily to adjust to when shaving with it.
I can get 3-4 combined face & head shaves from one cartridge/head, which i consider excellent value. Head shaving is how i test a blade for it's efficiency... It's an ideal travel razor, or when your in need of "a quick can't be arsed no fuss presentable face or head shave"...What more is needed i ask.
A comfortable presentable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
