Awesome video! Very well explained. Previously used the ProGlides' and absoluetly loved it, so I recently purchased the All Purpose Gillette Stylers' to give them a try. They are electric, uses the same razor heads (or any that fits the clip) and vibrate when you shave, making it slightly easier to shave in my opinion. I'm not sure if you want to give them a shot, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion. They sound interesting. I have heard of them before and will order one to give it a go. Have a few others to do first. Cheers !
Gillette Proglide is the best! I went down the double edge old school razor rabbit hole a few years ago! I say embrace modern technology. It is superior!
The ProGlide is a great shave!!! Good video!!! My favorite razor is the Gillette Labs Exfoliating bar razor.... but I also use my ProGlide still, from time to time. I will be honest though, that Gillette Labs quick foaming gel is on another level....
Thanks Matt. Really interesting as I'm about to open the exfoliating and put it through its paces for a couple of weeks. I will have to order some of that gel too then !
Thanks ! And cheers for the comment. I'm testing so many different razors at the moment I don't really get to the point where they are totally blunt. But after 2 to 3 weeks I would certainly feel a big difference on most cartridges which is 14 to 21 shaves roughly. Thanks again for the comment.
Hi. That's a tricky question. I'm so busy trying different razors that they don't often have time to get blunt. Depends how often you shave etc too. The Gillette blades seem good quality and will last a couple of weeks at least. They still seem in reasonable shape after a month. Other brands dull a bit quicker. You can squeeze the life out of a blade but it becomes a bit unpleasant. Nothing like a new blade for that Sharp look. Hope that helps a bit but it's a really hard one to answer. So many variables.
@@sharpshaves hi bro thanq for giving reply. i have 60 different indian and foreign razors and shaving creams and soaps including oneblade, harry razor in my shaving den. I don't know which razor I use everyday.
@Paul Carlin hi Paul. Thanks for your comment. I generally shave every day when I'm working and then let it slide at the weekend or if I can get away with it. I think there are loads of parameters that influence how long blades last. Really hard to be helpful here. I think how course your beard is and how often and other factors all make a difference.
@paulcarlin5181 Gilliete says 20 shaves per blade are needed, and if you shave every 3 days, a blade will last you a month. I bought it the other day, and I've used it three times now. No skin irritation, no super smooth cuts for me, but it could all change on shave 5. I don't know, but so far, so good.
I've used a DE razor for the better part of 10 years and thought I'd give this one a try. In my honest opinion it's a fantastic shave. Will the blade last one month? I will see as I have a pretty thick facial hair which is why I started DE shaving as the Mach 3 I had to drop due to the price and it's lacklust performance. This is generations better than a Mach 3 and I would argue on par but DE shaving if you find the right blade and razor combination. Those slanted razors with a feather blade. Oooowee. 😂
@sharpshaves I’ve been using the proglide and it really is a great close comfortable shave, as is the labs razor in terms of performance they are both the same shave. The best 2 razors in my opinion, I would highly recommend them 👍
Cheers for the comment. I find it works for me if I go with the grain for my first pass. My beard grows in different directions hence I change direction.

Please do a review of Gillette fusion 5 power razor.

Trying the power ProGlide at the moment. Thanks for the idea
@@sharpshaves Awesome! Looking forward to your thought on it!
Proglide has microcombs just under the blades, they help channel the hairs to the blades.
Thanks. I'll take a closer look. Might get a magnifying glass so I can inspect better.
Gillette Proglide is the best! I went down the double edge old school razor rabbit hole a few years ago! I say embrace modern technology. It is superior!

@@sharpshaves Yes, get some of that gel.... it's the best stuff I've ever used.
the gels are all same from Gillette and razors nothing special compared to 100 year old DE razors
Yes, the old razors are pretty cool ! The gels have evolved quite a bit I guess but maybe not for the better ?!?
Does it cause in grown hairs?
Great video! Thank you!
How many shaves do you get from each razor cartridge?
Thanks ! And cheers for the comment. I'm testing so many different razors at the moment I don't really get to the point where they are totally blunt. But after 2 to 3 weeks I would certainly feel a big difference on most cartridges which is 14 to 21 shaves roughly.
Thanks again for the comment.
@@sharpshaves Thank you very much for your response! I greatly appreciate it!
Great video. The ProGlide is pretty decent I agree. Like to know what you think of Wilkinson Sword's Hydro 5?
Thanks Edward. Yes, very impressed
I've just ordered the Hydro 5. Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.
Looks like it done a good job, I prefer less blades, I do like the Gillette SkinGuard razor👌
Cheers👍
Yeah. It was pretty good. The first 5 blade that I really thought was ok. I need to get a SkinGuard ordered.
@@sharpshaves Used the vanilla Fusion 5 this morning and I think it is a better shave than the Proglide. Just seemed a closer shave to me.
I have the Gillette Power Proglide and it’s fantastic!!!
I really need to try it. Lots of people have said it's good. Thanks for the comment
@@sharpshavesYou’re welcome.
Just started testing the power ProGlide. Thanks for the recommendation
@sharp do you think the Gillette proglide razor gives the same close shave as the power version that they do ?
Hi Steve. I'm sorry but haven't tried the power version yet. I need to add it to my list to try out. Thanks for the suggestion
@@sharpshaves ok well I think the power is more of a gimmick tbh, a non powered razor will give the same close shave
In my opinion the best razor out of the Gillette range is the labs exfoliating and proglide, a seamless close comfortable shave 👍
@sharpshaves when are you uploading the new shave video
Just uploaded it Steve. Hope you like it. Thanks for suggesting it.
How many times do you use one blade bro?

After so many years, I just found out, those blades have a trimmer on the backside 😅
Ha. Yes. Very useful with such a broad head

Thanks for the comment. I'm just into 3rd week of trialing the leaf twig. Watch for my next video. I think you'll find it really interesting...
Don't force your opinion on others what do you think it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has to agree with you.

@@sharpshaves no problem, personally I think the power is a gimmick but it is all down to preference
@sharpshaves when are you posting the video?
@stevehayes8867 I'm going to use it for the next week and do the vid next weekend
@@sharpshaves what’s your thoughts on the power so far ?
