A fine starter set for the man who strives for a cut-above in shaving standards
This full pack of Razor handle plus refills makes for a good starter set for anyone looking to move away from disposable razors and into the world of something more premium.Exactly how many blades you really need or want on a razor head is a widely-discussed topic. I’ve long advocated for just 3 blades being perfectly sufficient. I’ve used 4 blade setups - some of which were better than a 3, some were worse. This ProGlide from Gillete offers up a 5 blade solution which feels a little excessive to me (and could contribute to higher ongoing blade costs and more production wastage) does legitimately provide a lovely smooth shave.One thing I particularly like about this blade design which you don’t always get on a razor is that the blades have a clear path through for any shaved hair that is not obstructed by the frame of the blade or the razor itself. Some designs get clogged up too easily as the hair doesn’t have anywhere to pass through efficiently due to design bulk, but these are pretty decent and they haven’t clogged up yet.The other nice thing about this razor is the articulation of the head which helps navigate the contours of your head/face a little better than a non-articulating blade. Short of having bendy-blades - which don’t exist - this is the best you could hope for.It also includes a ‘precision blade’ on the reverse side - which can be good for providing an edge - but completely superfluous if you don’t have an edge to work to.The pack doesn’t include any kind of travel or storage for the razor, so if you’re like me and you like to shave at the gym you’ll need to get yourself something suitable to keep it safe for travel.For a price of c. £32 (at time of review) I always find shaving to be quite a costly affair, and there is a degree of ecological guilt I have when dealing with anything which has ‘disposable’ parts. Would be nice if a bit of consideration was put into a product’s end-of-life in the marketing - just a suggestion…
