It's a good option. But if you want to just try DE razor shaving, go with the much cheaper DE from Gillette (not the plastic one, but the metal head model). It's pretty good and forgiving, for a DE razor.

Didn't know Gillette made such razors.. There used to be somethg from 7o clock with plastic handle, seen long time ago.It's a good option.

It's pretty good. I've used it since Jan last year. Another alternative is https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08LTFSH14 - The pristine is a mild razor and should be good for a beginner.
That's sad to hear and also bit surprising. From my personal experience and other user reviews, its one razor thats hard to cut yourself with. It's one of the mildest razor around and very good for beginners.Go this Razor from Bombay Shaving Company in 2021 which is this Bombay Shaving Company Classic Safety Razor For Men @ 499 and got myself cut pretty bad on my upper lip, had to go to a doctor to get stitched, so is using Gillette Guard Shaving Razor which is this Gillette Guard Shaving Razor for Men @ 135. Now my father & father in law both are buying this same Gillette Guard Razor and using it.
While shaving on the upper lip out of habit with like normal Gillette Guard Razors I swiped vertically and it cut from under the middle of the nose to upper lip.It's pretty good.

Yes, that's what I did thinking that it will shave like I do with Gillette Guard. Now after that scare I am using Gillette Guard only.The blade cuts your skin only if you slice it. That mean there should be absolutely zero sideways motion. Entire motion should be perpendicular to the length of the blade.
If you are using Gilette Gaurd (single bade version), there is utterly no increased advantage moving to double edge razors. Absolutely no, unless you associate macho quotient to the naked blade, in which case you should consider shavette.
It will be fine.The build is fine for the cost, but plastic handle didn't feel good at all. Didn't feel balanced but for cost it may be fine.
Could also be about prep. The beard should be wet for at least three minutes so it softens and can be cut more easily. Otherwise if the beard is not ready you will apply more force and get cutsMy first shave went okayish. Got 2 small cuts, which are from the first two passes, as I didn't properly estimate what force to put it for this.
Rest of the shave went okay without any other cuts, as I was more careful after the cuts. This one probably needs more shaving cream and lather.
Right but unlike your mach turbo you can go at it from different angles and get a closer shave without the irritation of dragging 3 blades over your skin per pass. Also what I noticed with these three+ blades is they get blunt very slowly. You only realise after a month or even more how blunt they have become when you replace the blade.But compared to the mach turbo which I usually use, this one needed multiple passes as there was some balance of hair left here and there.
It's a skill but like a bicycle you never forget once you learnOverall, it seems I need some good practice regarding using DE razors.
True, and is why the elder men in my family use the dual blade ones. VFM & safe. More blades than that becomes pricey. Okay once in a while but not regularly.Otherwise, if cons are kept aside, the regular gillette multiple blade type ones are faster and fewer cuts is what I felt.
It will be fine.

With DE razors generally 5-8 shaves depending on whether just stainless or platinum

They weren't interested to learn how to use a DE razor. But you still can't go as close because you are dragging two blades with each pass
I don't think you understand. The foam doesn't soften the beard. Thr soap is only to help with the slide. The lubricant is water. Once your beard is wet adequately only then you apply the foam.I waited two mins only after applying.
DE stands for double-edged. So a DE blade is basically this. DE razors are razors that accept those type of blades, i.e. what most people probably think of when imagining a razor. This is a shavette, where you have to insert a regular (or half) DE blade. Different from the straightedge razor.What is DE blade or DE Razors? I never heard about them. Shavette also. What is this?
