Gillette Pro glide is a nice razor, I used that one when first started. I now use the Sheik Hydro 5 and actually use less passes than I did with the Gillette. However, like anything else shaving is all about technique and one the that is down you could probably use any razor. I find the Sheik Hydro is gentler on my scalp, although I enjoy shaving my face with a DE or Straight razor. They give my face a closer and less irritating shave, then again I also make my own lather.
