1 blade vs. 7 which shaves better - Blade DE safety razor or Dorco Pace 7 - average guy tested

[@Epicbutton12]

I'm a cartridge guy all the way. I have a much more comfortable and frankly closer shave with a cart than a DE. Plus, like you, I too am a sucker for marketing. That being said I do appreciate the novelty and barbershop experience of a DE. In fact the razor i use in the weekdays is either my fusion 5 proglide or a schick hydro 5 skin comfort. But my weekend shaves, which I look forward to a lot, when I have time to sit back relax sip some whiskey and shave I use my wilkinson sword DE razor. I cut myself all the time and it irritates my skin but it's a lot of fun to use a DE. It's like a toxic lover she's bad for you but you keep coming back for more haha. Anyways big fan of the channel and if you haven't in a while you should revisit some of the new schick razors I've seen a couple new ones hit the shelves

[@averageguytested]

Thanks brah! Yes - I’ve recently reviewed the Stubble Eraser from Schick - which is an interesting blade. Keep pushing play!

[@williamcass68]

I agree 100%! Get both and have options. To me, if I want to take my time and enjoy a shave I’d go with the DE. If I’m in a rush I’d go with a cart. However, I always use a brush and nice shaving soap. It’s just better for the face.

[@averageguytested]

Nice!

[@Epicbutton12]

Totally agree I'm the same way. My weekday shave is a fusion 5 NY weekend shave is a wilk sword DE

[@leekhan8948]

Here! here!

[@ozmobozo]

@@leekhan8948 Well traditional shaving is better for most of men but cartridges also work. Also you need to know what you're doing with DE razors otherwise it won't shave close, so maybe 4 5 shaves until you get a good idea of what DE can do. No such thing is necessary for cartridges as you can just rub it on your face and it will shave.

[@karlhelicher964]

Great video! Is comparing a double edge and a seven-blader like apples and oranges? I liked Dorco when they offered their sturdy razors and good blades through their own website. I settled on the Pace 3, which I found gave a smoother and closer shave than the Mach 3, with blades that were much less expensive than Gillette's. Too bad that Dorcos are only sells through Amazon. I ordered a Feather Neo2 cart razor from Japan. I am looking for a good two bladed razor to switch off with my Skinguard.

[@averageguytested]

Good info 👍🏽

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

Tony was in the local CVS today and stopped by the shaving section , you got me in that habit now. looked at the one blade , even though I got one last year thanks to you 👍🏼 but as usual can’t find the refill blades ....cvs sux....gotta go to Amazon to order replacement blades ...why ? Those old skool single edge razors used be soooo heavy to hold could use them as hammers if you need to.lol 😂

Add a chin patch and you will be rockin'.I like cartridge razors but I don't like the price of them.As far as cleaning up I set my adjustable to setting 1 after my number 5 setting.

Interesting- thanks for the tip!

[@10floz30minutes]

While seven blade system is too many blades, anyone ever notice shaves with disposable three or five blade system leave no irritation after the shave?

[@averageguytested]

If used correctly I agree.

[@saptarshipaulchoudhury9201]

I've used dorco pace 6 but it always felt like it's pulling my skin and tugging my skin out not a comfortable experience at all that's why i again went back to Gillette fusion proglide or ProShield.

[@averageguytested]

I just did a review of the Dorco Pace 6 Plus with power and I was vey impressed

[@leekhan8948]

You mention to use short strokes with the de razor but for many, me included, long passes are safer and avoid painful razor burns. Short passes with d.e. razor puts you at higher risk of burns due to the constant lifting of the blade off the skin compared to long passes that keep the blade against the skin. Who agrees with me?

[@averageguytested]

I agree that you should do what works best for you. Short stokes are good practice for new DE shavers.

[@leekhan8948]

@@averageguytested I’d have to disagree; short strokes are better suited for grizzled veteran de shavers who know how to handle a de blade; long passes are much much safer as it keeps the sharp edge on the skin whereby saving you from nicks.

[@leekhan8948]

That’s the reason newbies use always use long passes in fear of lifting and touching the sharp edge more than necessary

[@leekhan8948]

It’s all good though, my old friend

[@robertgray9802]

That look is you Tony keep it does the Dorco have a trimmer blade on the back you would think it would if it's got seven blades?

[@averageguytested]

It doesn’t have the precision trimmer on the back - imagine having 8 blades. 👍🏽😂

@@averageguytested you know Tony you may see an eight-bladed cartridge razor soon it would not surprise me one bit and all I could think of is the irritation that comes with it have a good evening

I think 7 blades is OTT. Some great 2 blade cartridges, but 3 or 5 blades seem to be best, but depends on the razor. I still can not get into the fixed blades or the DE razors. Like you said in other video, cartridges are designed for ease like bumper cars 🤣🤣🤣

I like my gillette fusion proglide with 7 blades. Everybody knows each proglide cartridge gives you at least 30 days of close, pleasant shaves. I order a 12 count pack of cartridges for $39.00 once every year and will still have a couple cartridges left by the end of the year . No other razor can beat that.

Definitely the DE safety razor is better than the 7 blades razor

[@averageguytested]

[@MarkR973]

No offense and I enjoy your videos but.... What kind of test is this? it’s bullshit...I use a high end Timeless bronze razor w a .38mm opening and before that a Viking chieftain with a 105 mm opening, each being a single blade safety razor, I found that the higher end Timelss razor, which was actually much less aggressive than the Viking, when paired with the Astra blade was perfect for me and it shaved better than the cheaper Viking, altho the Viking was pretty decent for $40.. and both were better than that Gillette junk...anyway, it appears that you may be using a Viking here.... anyhow, no way you can tell me the 7 blade is better .. it’s just a rip off.. I came over from the plastic overpriced crap because of the ever rising prices.....to educate your viewers, you should tell them that safety razors come in a variety of settings as some are more aggressive than others, you can buy either milder or sharper blades too to find that perfect shave for you.. I’d like you to test various safety razors.. so what opening is that safety razor and what blade is on it? Do you even know? ... moving on... on a safety razor you have to change blades after 3-5 shaves, but the blades are “dirt” cheap.. there is no comparison and it’s a lot cheaper than the plastic multiple blade junk... a smart man who cares about his money, once he discovers a safety razor and gets it dialed in with respect to the opening and the blade type that’s best for him isn’t going back to the super high priced ripoff plastic crap.. the only reason why Gillette and other companies went to multiple blade razors, first two, then three, then four, then five, and now seven.. OMG seven!!!....... hahaha.. ...is because dumbasses who they can dupe thru marketing who don’t know any better are paying for them thinking their better when their not.. soon you’ll need to take a loan to buy replacement blades..Gillette and the other companies are just pocketing more of your money .. and by adding more blades their justifying the ripoff and their testing you to see just how much more they can rip you off... how far can they go? .. average guys on 7!!! .... omg.... hahaha.... who knows, maybe ten before some people wise up? I don’t know .. I’m no fool..are you a fool? And Now you wanna try a razor w batteries next? Oh man.. hey get one with a light too.. wow.. now that’s cool.... hahaha... c’mon.. geez.. smarten up.. good heavens...
