Greetings,

A relaxing Williams Superlather sunday face & head shave.

It's been a while i last used the gillette guard.Once a month I do a full head shave after my weekly 'no guard' haircut 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 Gillette .It's the only cartridge razor i still occasionally use normally for shaving the back of my neck 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 crit's are because the razor is made of plastic it isn't eco-friendly or recyclable,DE & SE blade are ,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 it's not bad, the overall shave performance from this one-blade cartridge razor is very good and easily to adjust to when shaving with it.

I can get normally 3-4 combined face & head shaves from one cartridge/head, which i consider excellent value,Especially for head shaving. It's a ideal travel razor, or when your in need of a quick no fuss presentable face or head shave.What more is needed....

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth presentable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Post Shave Balm.

My face & head is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
