Gillette
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Just get a Gillette. Much better then mercur
- Enjoy your sweet Gillette.
- Nice! Enjoy the classic Gillette.
- One of the best Gillette blades for sure.
- Basic shave gel or aftershave from Gillette would be good.
Cons
- I have had all three of the razors you mention, and maybe I didn’t give the Gillette a fair shake, but I was not pleased. Tried it out, and ended up selling it.
- it's very sturdy - it's made of steel and chrome, it won't break if it falls, whereas gillette is just plastic.
- Personally, I have found the difference in blades I use is pretty much zero. Treet, Astra, Gillette, Shark, and and and. They’re all the same to me
- the shave gels I've used (Gillette and Edge) were not very slick compared to a shave soap
- I have two Montreal made Canadian Gillette's, does that count?

There’s some good shavers in that group. Gillette, Schick and a Gem.
