Video comparison of a Gillette Fusion Proglide Power vs a Gillette King C DE Razor

Title says Cartridge vs Safety Razor. Image of a man in the centre. On the left side he is holding up a Gillette cartridge razor, and on the right side he is holding a double-edged safety razor.

Way too many people only know about the razor they currently use because of advertising they see. There are 60 years old technologies (well, actually older than that) that work even better actually, at a fraction of the cost.

Even Gillette themselves restarted to remake their double-edged razor, although you won’t see them advertising it, as their massive profits are made off selling their cartridge blades, which can’t easily be recycled. And seeing a DE blade is an open standard, and DE blade will fit any DE razor (try buying a competitor cartridge blade to fit a Gillette Fusion razor).

This video shows both razors in action. Just remember with DE blades there is a massive choice out there and many shave differently depending on your beard type and the aggressiveness of the razor head itself. So you can choose from super sharp, to mild, etc depending on which works best for you. So it is always advisable to buy a sample pack of different blades to test out with any new DE razor. It’s a razor you may well be using for the next 60 years!
