King C. Gillette Safety Razor. First use and opinion. Fresh off the shelf at Walgreens.

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.

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.

I agree with you about the blade match up and also no nicks or weepers. Surprisingly good enough to throw it in the rotation. Really hope Gillette gets a decent outcome on this release to hopefully see something else in the future! Cheers!

Great shave Ken. It's really cool to see this available in a nation wide big box store like CVS Walgreens. It gives others a chance to discover wet shaving. 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. 😀

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!

Great shave as always, Kensurfs. 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. Some people need to do some growing up and grow some thicker skin.

Lee Haseley At first it was the commercial Gillette put out that pissed people off, which I can understand. Now the Chinese handle. The bigger picture I’m looking at is that now Gillette is sampling the DE market👍💈💈💈

Hi Ken must say I really like your channel watching from QLD Australia. I've been into wet shaving for 5 years now I had seen a few reviews on this razor wasn't planning on getting one as I have a 1959 fat boy, a 30's/40's Gillette tech and a flare tip super speed. But I was out shopping with the missus and seen some in Coles for 30.00aud I had to get one. For the price I must say the razor looks great very good quality and a comfortable shave. spare king c Gillette blades were a bit on expensive side 14aud for 10 blades but overall very happy that they had them here. Stay safe and keep up the good work with the channel. Ray
