Closed-Type Technology for Precision

The Gillette King C. Double Edge features a closed comb head design, which is ideal for shaping:

  1. Closed Comb Design: This type of head has a bar (safety bar) under the blade, which stretches the skin and controls the blade exposure. This makes the razor less aggressive and easier to control, allowing the user to make precise, sharp lines with absolute accuracy.

  2. Alignment Comb: The comb design allows the hairs to align within the comb before cutting. This improves control, especially when shaping the lines of the neck and sideburns.

Platinum Blades & Long Lasting

  • Double Edge Blades: The double edge blade offers two cutting edges, increasing the blade's lifespan.
  • Platinum Coating: The blades feature a platinum coating, which increases the lifespan of the blade and maintains its sharpness for more shaves, ensuring the same absolute precision.

I used the Gillette Fusion Proglide with the same cartridge for 3-4 years. It was getting incredibly difficult lately, and I needed to go over the same spot more than 3 times to shave properly, and it still didn't give a close shave. As if that wasn't enough, on the third day when the hair had slightly grown, I had to first use my electric shaver (Philips BG7015) and then switch to the Gillette because it would struggle without the first step and would cause me injuries. Overall, it had exhausted me.

I decided to change my approach and see shaving as a hobby, something I would enjoy, and not as a chore every 4 days. As you can see in the photo, I bought the following set:
• Proraso Pre Shave Cream Azur Lime 100ml
• Proraso Eucalyptus Shaving Soap 150ml
• Proraso Shaving Brush with Boar Bristles
• Axe Gold After Shave 100ml

I won't describe the shaving process since I am still a beginner and don't know much, but the procedure is very clear, and the following video helped me a lot: [YouTube link]. It taught me some details I didn't know, like the fact that as a first step, we shave the hair "as it grows" (usually downward for many) and as a second step, against the grain (usually upward).

So, this particular razor has the right weight, a good texture on its handle, and securely holds the blade in the center, giving a sense of confidence during the motion. As soon as I put on the first cartridge, it aligned automatically without leaving uneven gaps on the right and left sides of the locking head - I mention this because I had read in some reviews that it was crooked or had a misaligned blade. The shaving process lasted 1.5 minutes instead of the 7 minutes I needed with the old and worn-out Gillette, and only one pass was required. I was amazed. I highly recommend it if you are a beginner and have always used the typical razors found at supermarket checkouts, or if you simply want to see shaving from a different perspective.

P.S. As soon as I did the second shave the next day, I went to a supermarket and bought it as a gift for a friend who saw me shaving and wanted to try it himself. It truly is worth every penny!

Update 26/5/2023: I changed the blade as it started cutting me in multiple places. Now shaving is like a game again. With the first blade, I did around 90-100 shaves to test its limits. The conclusions I reached, at least for myself, are that it comfortably provides 20 shaves, maybe even 30 at most. If you are patient with the first pass, you might be able to get a few more. After that, it cuts unnecessarily in many places, which is annoying and time-consuming. I should mention that I don't have coarse facial hair, and it doesn't grow quickly.

I will update the review as I become more familiar with its usage and the combination of the aforementioned products with the traditional shaving machine.

Good machine, it has a good grip and good weight. The razors that come with the machine are the reason why I give it two stars, they are just plain plows, only good for plowing in general. They have good blades, I don't know how they managed that.

    As a handle, it could have a textured surface along its entire length for better grip... but this is not something important enough to lose a star.

    After just 2-3 shaves, you easily learn how to handle it and the final result comes very close to the expensive commercial razors. Overall, you need a little more time but nothing dramatic. It helps a lot when there is enough moisture in the foam, because there is no lubricating strip like other razors have.

    The blades included in the package are not the best on the market but each one gives me 10 shaves. I read in other comments that with other blades the result is even better. We are not even talking about cost... there the difference is huge, and it is the main reason why buying this type of razor is worth it.

    Returning to the 'old school' shaving way to save on cost. Perhaps it's from experience and this razor style, had a decent first shave with no cuts.

    I also ordered 100 of the 'green' astra blades via skroutz as these are recommended for people with sensitive skin!

    A simple razor. Poetic and sturdy. The blades it comes with are just okay. They don't last long and don't cut very well.

    The best choice for anyone who wants to start traditional shaving, the shave this razor gives cannot be matched by Mach 3, Pro Glide, etc. Today I did my first shave with it combined with foam (until I learn how to shave with this razor) Noxzema yellow and Old Spice Wolfthorn aftershave, the skin is just incredibly soft. For more instructions, find Greek videos on YouTube about how you should shave. I will no longer bother with other razors. Give yourself time to transition from plastic razors to this one and I promise you will be amazed at how well it shaves. Don’t listen to those who say it doesn’t shave well, the trick is to find the blade that suits you since not everyone has the same beard or the same skin, so try many blades.

    I received it the day before yesterday. I should note that for the past few years I have been shaving with Gillette Mach3. Yesterday afternoon I decided to try shaving with this. I used the blades that came with it (I didn't have any others anyway) and a classic white Noxzema foam. I must admit, I did not expect the result. UNBELIEVABLE shave, much more comfortable and safer than I expected. No cuts, no redness, no irritation... nothing. Even my wife, when she saw me, noticed the difference on my face compared to the Mach3. I should mention that I don't have a lot of beard and I would say my beard is rather soft. It seems to me that the Mach3 will stay in the cupboard for a long time.

    For its price, it is by far the best choice, with Astor blades it shaves very well. Lightweight, sturdy, quality construction and easy to handle, but perhaps its head may not suit those who want a very close shave with few passes. However, it certainly does its job very well and is the best choice for beginners like me, fully satisfied

    My barber recommended it to me compared to other commercial ones that have 3, 4, or 5 blades. In the end, it really is all about marketing as he told me. This particular one, even though it has only one blade, is extremely good. You change the blade when you feel that it doesn't cut the hair but 'pulls' it, and everything is fine, it's like new again.

    I hadn't used a safety razor for about 14.5 years. Unfortunately, the one I had previously was lost during a move, and since then I never got around to replacing it. Until the moment I happened to see this particular Gillette one in an advertisement. And because, coincidentally, the lost razor was a vintage Gillette, I decided to buy it.

    I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I've had about 8 shaves with it.

    The feeling is that you're holding a sturdy and well-balanced tool which, if handled carefully, will give you a very good shave

    I can say that for a beginner it is good, but it needs to change blades because its own do not cut at all, I recommend the feather or perma sharp, it does not give a close shave even with these blades and even if you shave against the grain, I am thinking of changing it and getting this time some open type, Finally, when I go to shave the underside of the neck, it requires quite a few passes

    Nice razor. Bad blades. I combine it with Astor from BIC and the result is very smooth. Minimal to zero redness. After 6 months of use, it has a few rust marks where it screws in, so when you finish shaving make sure you dry it well.

  • I give 5 stars so as not to unfairly judge the safety razor. Easy to use, easy to clean, the double edge helps in utilizing the entire blade. On the other hand, I believe that Gillette blades do not cut hair as easily as other brands, wear out faster, and I feel they cause irritation to my skin.

    My first razor, I bought it to try this shaving method. Very beautiful but also very soft, you don't cut yourself at all but it takes effort to shave. For its price, I can say it's worth it but I wouldn't recommend it to someone to buy. I believe that for anyone who wants to start, there are two options, the Rockwell 6c or the Muhle R 89 which is similar, and if you want something sharper, just attach the head of the R41 and you're ready. Now, as much as I want to use it, I have it almost permanently on the side.

    Very good quality and economical, not for a deep shave that would make a razor or a simple razor but more for a facial cleaning. Otherwise, I recommend it

    First of all, I have an Indian razor of medium aggressiveness that shaves me smoothly with Astra blades, which I use, and with Feather for an even better shave. I decided to try a milder one and got the Gillette... after two shaves with Astra blades on a two-day beard, I took longer to shave due to repeated passes. I also tried sharper blades and it worked better. My conclusion is that it is only for daily beards and for experts... it only works with sharp blades for up to two shaves at most, after the third shave it shaves as if you have used a mild blade. Personally, I went back to my old one

    Returning to the 'old school' shaving way to save on cost. Perhaps it's from experience and this razor style, had a decent first shave with no cuts.

    I also ordered 100 of the 'green' astra blades via skroutz as these are recommended for people with sensitive skin!

    Value for money. Stable in the hand. Good blades in the package. I use it only to clean the lines.

    Excellent. With a little effort and the use of the appropriate blade for your beard and skin, you will see results that those in advertisements couldn't even dream of.

    There is this: Wilkinson Sword Classic T Safety Razor Closed Comb with Blades 5pcs which costs around 5€, in my opinion it's worth much more.

    A simple razor. Poetic and sturdy. The blades it comes with are just okay. They don't last long and don't cut very well.

    The best choice for anyone who wants to start traditional shaving, the shave this razor gives cannot be matched by Mach 3, Pro Glide, etc. Today I did my first shave with it combined with foam (until I learn how to shave with this razor) Noxzema yellow and Old Spice Wolfthorn aftershave, the skin is just incredibly soft. For more instructions, find Greek videos on YouTube about how you should shave. I will no longer bother with other razors. Give yourself time to transition from plastic razors to this one and I promise you will be amazed at how well it shaves. Don’t listen to those who say it doesn’t shave well, the trick is to find the blade that suits you since not everyone has the same beard or the same skin, so try many blades.

    I received it the day before yesterday. I should note that for the past few years I have been shaving with Gillette Mach3. Yesterday afternoon I decided to try shaving with this. I used the blades that came with it (I didn't have any others anyway) and a classic white Noxzema foam. I must admit, I did not expect the result. UNBELIEVABLE shave, much more comfortable and safer than I expected. No cuts, no redness, no irritation... nothing. Even my wife, when she saw me, noticed the difference on my face compared to the Mach3. I should mention that I don't have a lot of beard and I would say my beard is rather soft. It seems to me that the Mach3 will stay in the cupboard for a long time.

    For its price, it is by far the best choice, with Astor blades it shaves very well. Lightweight, sturdy, quality construction and easy to handle, but perhaps its head may not suit those who want a very close shave with few passes. However, it certainly does its job very well and is the best choice for beginners like me, fully satisfied

    My barber recommended it to me compared to other commercial ones that have 3, 4, or 5 blades. In the end, it really is all about marketing as he told me. This particular one, even though it has only one blade, is extremely good. You change the blade when you feel that it doesn't cut the hair but 'pulls' it, and everything is fine, it's like new again.

    I hadn't used a safety razor for about 14.5 years. Unfortunately, the one I had previously was lost during a move, and since then I never got around to replacing it. Until the moment I happened to see this particular Gillette one in an advertisement. And because, coincidentally, the lost razor was a vintage Gillette, I decided to buy it.

    I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I've had about 8 shaves with it.

    The feeling is that you're holding a sturdy and well-balanced tool which, if handled carefully, will give you a very good shave

    It is a very good razor especially for its price I just think it could have a slightly better contact with the skin other than that and in terms of weight perfect

    Recommended as a "value for money" option for daily shaving. Combined with Muhle Double Edge Replacement Blades, it offers a solution for effective, gentle shaving, with minimal cuts and low cost.

    For the money, it might be the best thing someone can buy if they want to try a safety razor. Sturdy construction and with sharp blades like Feather, it does a very good job.

    I can say that for a beginner it is good, but it needs to change blades because its own do not cut at all, I recommend the feather or perma sharp, it does not give a close shave even with these blades and even if you shave against the grain, I am thinking of changing it and getting this time some open type, Finally, when I go to shave the underside of the neck, it requires quite a few passes

    Nice razor. Bad blades. I combine it with Astor from BIC and the result is very smooth. Minimal to zero redness. After 6 months of use, it has a few rust marks where it screws in, so when you finish shaving make sure you dry it well.

  • I give 5 stars so as not to unfairly judge the safety razor. Easy to use, easy to clean, the double edge helps in utilizing the entire blade. On the other hand, I believe that Gillette blades do not cut hair as easily as other brands, wear out faster, and I feel they cause irritation to my skin.

    My first razor, I bought it to try this shaving method. Very beautiful but also very soft, you don't cut yourself at all but it takes effort to shave. For its price, I can say it's worth it but I wouldn't recommend it to someone to buy. I believe that for anyone who wants to start, there are two options, the Rockwell 6c or the Muhle R 89 which is similar, and if you want something sharper, just attach the head of the R41 and you're ready. Now, as much as I want to use it, I have it almost permanently on the side.

    Very good quality and economical, not for a deep shave that would make a razor or a simple razor but more for a facial cleaning. Otherwise, I recommend it

    First of all, I have an Indian razor of medium aggressiveness that shaves me smoothly with Astra blades, which I use, and with Feather for an even better shave. I decided to try a milder one and got the Gillette... after two shaves with Astra blades on a two-day beard, I took longer to shave due to repeated passes. I also tried sharper blades and it worked better. My conclusion is that it is only for daily beards and for experts... it only works with sharp blades for up to two shaves at most, after the third shave it shaves as if you have used a mild blade. Personally, I went back to my old one

  • I have no words. The others have already said it anyway. I may despise Gillette for its outrageous prices on ProGlide replacement blades, but this is the best value for money out there.

  • Very, very good, especially for the money, it has no rival! At this price (12 euros), such precision in shaving and build quality are a plus! It is a little heavy, the only downside, but after a few uses you get used to it

  • As a handle, it could have a textured surface along its entire length for better grip... but this is not something important enough to lose a star.

    After just 2-3 shaves, you easily learn how to handle it and the final result comes very close to the expensive commercial razors. Overall, you need a little more time but nothing dramatic. It helps a lot when there is enough moisture in the foam, because there is no lubricating strip like other razors have.

    The blades included in the package are not the best on the market but each one gives me 10 shaves. I read in other comments that with other blades the result is even better. We are not even talking about cost... there the difference is huge, and it is the main reason why buying this type of razor is worth it.
