I actually read a write up that I think it was Mantic did on his blog about the Guard. He also talked to some people living in the average conditions in India and got some insight. Turns out that they don't have easy cheap access to quality DE gear like we do, for the most part, and they stuff they generally use is actually way worse of a shave than the Guard razor will give, for comparably the same cost to them.
Sure, yes, Gillette is trying to convert a billion gents to a cartridge system, corner that third world market, and rake in the cash... as expected. Oddly enough, though, they did manage to produce a product that even most of the DE guys have said is a darn good one for a cartridge system, and it's definitely better than the vast majority of the stuff over there in it's price range.
