I saw on the listing they added “works with any brand of double edge blade”. I can imagine the Gillette execs being pretty heartbroken to have to point that out. 😂

That's literally the reason they came out with the Mach 3, and touted it as a 'better shave' when it wasn't. The patent had run out.

Great review Ken! My emotions are quite mixed up about this razor. I was quite excited when I first heard about Gillette selling a DE razor. However, Gillette has given up the DE razor market ages ago and tried to force-feed the market with garbage, leaving a few nostalgic, traditional companies to continue producing wet shaving products. Now that people are going back to wet shaving, for whatever reason, and the market has grown quite a lot, Gillette decided to make a come back. On top of it all though, for this come-back, they are not using any of their own design products, but someone else's. They could at least come back with a new version of, say, The Aristocrat. But noooooo! They only want to make easy money without caring for the product they sell or their consumers. Call me excessively romantic, but as a matter of principle, I would not spend a dime on this particular product. It has no character. If someone ever sends it to me as a gift, I may try it...

@dan4logic500 3 года назад

I agree they used their parent company conglomerate mega corporation P&G to push the garbage cartridges razors and essentially push DE’s down to a niche and now out of no where they bring it back? They deserve to be boycotted

@620john620 4 года назад

I’ve been using de for about a year, Nick, and love it. A few words of advice, if they’re not unwanted. Don’t skimp on your brushes. When I started out, I bought a cheap brush, wasn’t happy with it, bought one slightly better, then another, all trying to just save money. I finally broke down and bought a Simpson’s Berkeley, and love it. All the money spent on cheap brushes was wasted. I’m saving up now to get a Simpson’s chubby two. Just want another to rotate them out, there’s nothing wrong with the Berkeley. Silver tip badger is the way to go.

Ken, your videos never get old. Shaving videos and gear are not time sensitive, they are a joy to view and take us back in time to another area. Yet, as wet shavers we can take ourselves back in time to a degree and bring the past to the present to some degree. Including the look, feel, ambience, experience and scents. DE shaving gear is also a collecting hobby that remain affordable. At least not as expensive as collecting and storing fine cars of the past. Anyway, thanks to Ken for keeping us entertained with more fine videos.

Received mine today. The head "looks" almost exactly like my Edwin Jagger. The only difference I can see is that there is no 4 on the EJ. The safety bar, on both, weighs 18 grams. There is a 1 gram difference in the cap; Gillette is slightly heavier. This information, and $1.00, will get you a cup of coffee at McDonald's! Don't forget the dollar. Oh yeah, gotta be a senior too!

Great shave. After watching this review, sounds like I should add this new Gillette DE razor to my wishlist. I also would like to see Gillette actually stock it up in local stores so I would buy it and bring it home right away rather than wait for days or even weeks for it to arrive. Have a great day

@borbetomagus 4 года назад

Mantic59's article "The New Gillette Heritage Double Edge Razor" says that Gillette will not be extending the availability of the razor beyond Amazon. Since safety razor sales are only a small percentage of overall shaving supplies, a Gillette safety razor probably won't see the shelves of any local stores anytime soon. If you're new to wet-shaving, an adjustable safety razor (like a Parker 'Variant' or Rockwell 6C) is a much better option, since it allows for as mild or aggressive a shave as you need (based on skill or beard growth), unlike most safety razors.

@Daldidal1 4 года назад

Or go on ebay and buy a Gilette Fatboy if you can. Wel built and adjustable

@khalil7011 4 года назад

I don't see why they would want to make safety razors accessible enough to contest their sales on cartridge razors - they will lose out in a money sense

@kensurfs 4 года назад

GoldenSteelTV I agree. Put it in the stores👍👍

@zerozeroone4030 4 года назад

@@khalil7011 This is just a PR exercise to minimize the damage done by their misandrist commercial. They've even invoked the name of King Gillette as if to imply that he would have approved.

@odysseusjak 4 года назад

I asked for one for Christmas; we'll see how that goes. I, too, would like to see it released in a store -- Walgreens, Target, etc. I'm thrilled that they released it and hope (like everyone else) they continue to do so. Maybe they'll do one every Holiday season? Like you said, with the presentation it would be like a gift and Gillette has a history of doing special Holiday razors. I'm sure that, if there were enough numbers, they'd continue to create products. After all, they were losing sales from a lot of men and women who no longer bought their cartridge razors. This is a way to recapture some of that loss. And if the out of stock was any indication, I'm sure they're going to look long and hard at those numbers to see just how much of that money they can recapture. Thanks for a great video, Ken. As always, top notch and so real. Have a good weekend!

Hi Ken. I love your enthusiasm for vintage Gillettes. A fantastic collection there! Love the box and the handle.

Hopefully they'll make some more soon! 👍💈

I am really hoping that everybody who purchased these has shown Gillette, hands down that this market is not just alive but thriving. Fatboys, Slims, Black Beauty, Toggles...we love them all. I'd be excited if they just brought back something easier for them to make like the vintage open comb techs. I guess, I'd just be happy if this encourages them to USA produce any razor from their DE line. It'd be great to have another chance to buy them brand new! Great video, Ken!

@jamesdaigle8690 2 года назад

Great video Ken! I’ve owned this razor for about a month, I’ve shaved my face, neck, head & ears with it. Here’s my take on it: Typical compact mild shaver, but the case makes it a great travel razor. Comes with a good grippy handle, nice & maneuverable, the low profile head is great for detail work, ears, edging goatees & mustaches, shaving “other parts”, etc. One really cool thing I’ve discovered, is I own many German-made razors and I’ve compared the cap & plate to my Merkur & Muhle 3-piece razors, and I literally can not tell a visual difference between the profile, cap, drain slots, plate & threads of the Muhle R89 and the Gillette Heritage head. The Muhle R89 cap & plate thread right onto the Heritage handle and looks identical, as in zero difference found whatsoever. So, what I’m saying is, if the cap and/or plate break, the Muhle closed-comb replacement cap & plate will look & function identical, which makes this a great razor, IMO. I think this is a great choice for a high value, versatile razor for beginners & pros for home or travel.

@TheWilkReport 4 года назад

The head and base plate look incredibly similar to Merkur razor heads. I am curious to get one of these, especially if it comes in the vintage-style case.

@markdevries5524 4 года назад

Great video again Ken, thx ! I think the head of mine resembles the Edwin Jagger 89 one a lot, almost identical. I also have The Ernest DE razor from Murdock which has a very, very similar head. So I think that ED (and/or Muhle) provide their heads to several other brands.

I originally purchased the Heritage as a collectible first, an occasional shaver second, but it has delivered me a solid week of bbs shaves. No nicks, cuts, weepers and very minimal irritation.

I shaved with mine for the first time today. The head looks exactly like my DE89 but it is slightly smaller. It is not as wide. This allowed it to get under my nose a lot more easily than my DE89; although not as good as my vintage SuperSpeed. Also, the head is lighter than the DE89. Overall, I liked it and found it about the same aggressiveness as the DE 89 but a bit easier to use as it is more manueverable.

I received my Gillette heritage razor on Wednesday. I had a shave with it on Thursday evening. I didn’t like the blades that the razor came with. But it gave me a great shave.

Chad Homier I’m not a fan of the blades either

Thanks for making this review. I bought one of these for myself not too long ago, and, I love the shave quality that I get from a straight edge safety razor as compared to Gillette’s Mach 3 razor. They’re both good shaves, but, safety razors just blow cartridge razors out of the water in terms of shave quality, experience, and affordability. I’m not giving an arm, and a leg to shave my face anymore. Although there is a bit of a learning period, these razors are still great. I love them, and will only be shaving with safety razors from here on out.

I'm just now looking into the hobby of wet shaving, and I am super upset I wasn't knowledgeable when this was released.

I think the number indicates which mold it came out of for quality control.

Have you done a video about daily/after every shave maintenance for a DE razor?

@kensurfs 4 года назад

Michael G I’ve touched on it a few videos ago. I’ll get more specific 👍💈

Great video as always, Ken! Since I've spotted a tube of Trumper's "Eucris" shaving cream in the background (btw: how do you americans pronounce "Eucris"? I've always wondered whether it's more like "you chris" or some sort of french pronunciation...) - anyways: Any thoughts on Trumper's shaving products? I've just ordered a tube of their "Spanish Leather" cream, since their colognes are just fabulous. Greetings from Germany

Tenkterian I pronounce it “you chris”👍💈

Nice shave Ken💈 Glad the Heritage razor worked out, looks like a Muhle R89-ish head to me. I can only imagine what the cost would have been had the razor and case been made in the states🤔 a hell of a lot more than $34.99. We'll see if it's a market test or marketing ploy😉 Thanks for the unboxing and review, great video. Enjoy!

Gillette's parent company, Proctor & Gamble have only recently bought back Gillette's old blade manufacturing plants in St. Petersburg and Poland, so there is something big in the air, Ken.

He ken unrelatedly but hopefully you can help I have the cremo brush and it seems to always get tangled in the middle do you have any tips on preventing this?

@kensurfs 4 года назад

One Love714 I have the cremo horsehair brush. I’ll see how mine does in an upcoming video

Glad to see your experience was much better than mine with the new razor. I used mine with the blades it came with (very familiar and a favorite of mine) and man oh man let me tell you what. It felt like my first time with a shavette! It was bad. My assumption is I had a rouge blade in the pack. So I will try again later with a different blade and reserve my judgement.

@kensurfs 4 года назад

b H I have had that with many packs of blades. A bad one in the batch

@bH-eo5tz 4 года назад

Kensurfs so addendum..... 2nd shave... used mild blade (shark) uggg. Almost as bad as the first time with a Gillette platinum. Thinking for some unknown reason this razor will not be for me. I will shelve it and come back to it in about a month or so.

I ordered one shortly after seeing your video on this razor and it's my go to razor for sure. Aggressiveness 1 to 6 I'd say 3 to 4.

@lewiswhitney8121 4 года назад

Your right about the handle being US made and the full head is German engineering. It really gives a beautiful smooth shave. I’d love to get one of your kensurfs brushes.

@santaclaus179 3 года назад

how mild is this razor , like edwin jagger 89 , like merkur 34 c, merkur 23 c, rockwell 6 c , feather plastic , wilkinson sword metallic , pls inform me , since I have these ones , so I can compare ( did not include my adjustable razors merkur , Gillette , etc since these are adjustable and normally I use them at level 2 and 2.5

The plastic boxes may have been cheaper (less desirable to us now), but plastics were the space age material, the future! Metal, leather, satin and silk were the past. Remember the famous line from The Graduate about the future and plastics. I'll take the new-old leatherette and metal. Nice review!👍👍👍
