Hello everybody!
5 days ago I became a proud owner of Gillette Twist with white plastic handle. It has no box, in very nice condition, the doors are closing completely, no plate loss, just simple dots here and there. The doors are closing with the knob under the head. My first impression was the balance - the weight is on the head, the whole razor weights 43 grams, it is little bigger size as my EJ, but it is lighter. The handle is VERY comfortable and believe me it will not slip from your hands even if they are covered with soap or creme foam. The handle has very nice grip.
The Shave! - This little friend gave me one of the mildest, fast and forgiving shaves. First I did loaded Gillette stainless - very mild and forgiving, I did press a little here and there - no cuts at all. The same on my neck.
The second shave was with Polsilver SI. Very nice and close shave! I did press a little here and there again, no cuts! A little redness but no cuts at all! I am very impressed with this razor.
Conclusion - I personally find this little friend milder as my EJ. I can not comment the finish because this is 40+ y.o. razor, so it is normal to have some cosmetic dots. This is very mild and nice shaver, I recommend it for beginners, you can make mistakes as much as you want, it will not bite you /I can not say how it handles with Feathers/. I think you must have one in your collection or it is very nice shaver for first razor.
Please comment and give your opinions for this razor too. Thank you for reading my review!
