With some trepidation, I used this cheap India-made razor on my face. Somehow, it was wonderful. With simple Pure Silk for Sensitive Skin shaving foam, I got no cuts or nicks. What's more the end result was pure BBS. I was stoked. Throw out the fancy collectible DE razors and use this plastic thingie.
Except. I did small touch up moves on my head. Some redness. Some discomfort. But, as I looked more carefully hours later, it seemed almost everywhere the Guard touched up top was irritated or bleeding. Even places I never nick myself like the top of my head. Zowie. I will not be using this anytime soon for a quick headshave without serious styptic backup. Throughout the evening, I would nervously scratch my shaved head. Usually no big deal, but all the spots I scratched tonight hurt. (Was gonna insert an emoji, but I can't find a bleeding one.)
Anyway somehow, the 35-cent Gillette Guard delivers a beautiful face shave.
