  • Got an opportunity for the first time in my life, to walk into a local pharmacy and see a Gillette DE Safety Razor on the shelf for purchase. Gillette released The Heritage Safety Razor last year as an Amazon exclusive. This new King C. Gillette is a Walgreens Exclusive.
    I’m hopefully optimistic that this is Gillette testing the waters to see how good their safety razors sell. Hopefully we see some new Gillette razors being manufactured again in the USA, even as Limited Editions. I’d love to see them bring back the Gillette Fatboy and Black Beauty.

The king c gilette razor you feature here hss been on sale in the UK on since Dec 2020 for £18 plus 10 blades included. I haven't tried it as yet, but I can really recommend the Wikinson sword classic razor.. superb value.. could you do a review smd thoughts please 👍

    Great review Ken, and after hearing about this King C Gillette I went out yesterday and found one at the local Walgreens, bought some blades and the Clear shave cream tube.
    I used it this morning and was quite satisfied, I got a smooth shave. The razor seems well balanced - I did notice as you that the razor wasn't very aggressive but not mild either.
    I'm so glad Gillette did this - I hope that this marks the beginning of Gillette being back in DE shaving - Gillette got it right...as they should.

Not a big fan of Gillette, but I probably buy one any way in hope for more competition and products. I think P&G are test the market because they are losing money with their cartridge razors, just my opinion. Stay Safe and Have a Great Day

Even though I can't use a DE or straight razors anymore, that does not mean that I won't encourage others and I will still be using a shave soap and brush. As far as I'm concerned, the Gillette haters need to get laid and shut up. 😀

    It seems that nowadays, some people go out of their way to be offended.
    How can a reasonable adult be offended that a product was not made where the company was founded? It is ridiculous! Do people refuse to buy laptops because components were made in Taiwan? Do Americans refuse to buy Apple products because they are made under slave labour like conditions in China? No.

    I went to Walgreen’s tonight and bought the King C Gillette razor. Just did my first shave with it and was a very smooth shave. Slightly aggressive but not too much. I topped it off with a splash of Floid aftershave. The soap I used was Ben Franklin from Stirling. I was a bit skeptical about that soap when I read the scent description but it was only a bit of humor on their part. Hard to describe but they came pretty close!

    I have weighted the whole razor and it's at 103 grams. Pretty heavy. It feels durable, it cuts great and it's generally worth the price - 17 euros at my local supermarket in Greece on discount but I've noticed that it's at 12 euros on some Greek shops online. If you can find it at that price range, you should buy it.
