Some will think that these two razors don't even compare, but having tried both I can say that the shave experience is quite similar.
Being on vacation, I'm using the Guard lately. This cheap cart is very very very good. I've used it four times so far and it still going strong. No problem whatsoever.
They both have a pivoting head. About the OneBlade, in order to "enable" the pivot you have to ask pressure. This can lead to irritation. This is not the case with the Guard.
The price difference is huge. Let's put the razor price aside. The FHS blade costs about $0.65 each, while the Guard cart costs $0.25 and shipping is free. The latter lasts a lot more shaves. I could get only one excellent shave with the FHS. The second was good and that's it. I had to change it. This is one of the main reasons I sold the OneBlade. Blade cost and availability.
Material is different. SS vs Plastic. As a result, the weight of the razors differs as well.
I do two passes. One WTG and one XTG. I don't care about the ATG, my neck doesn't like it. The shave with both razors is quite similar. I get the same feeling. The first time I used the Guard I said to myself you remember that feeling...
Anyway. I really think that this cheap Gillette razor deserves a try. It will probably save you a ton of money.
If you have tried both, I'd like to read some thoughts.
