Hello Gentleman, and welcome to another episode
of The Gentleman’s Club.
I’m your host Marc Antomattei.
Here is another video in the shaving versus
series of videos, where I pit razor razor
against razor to see which one comes out on
top.
We are searching for the Holy Grail of shaving.
With over 10,000 views now on the last video
in this series, the "Gillette Mach3 vs. Fusion
ProGlide Power” was wildly popular.
Now get ready for showdown number 2 the "Gillette
Fusion ProGlide Power vs Schick Hydro 5 (2016
Edition)”.
I need a control to make sure the competition
is fair so as silly as it sounds, I use one
razor on one side of my face, and the second
razor on the other side.
I have two brand new never before used cartridge
razor heads on both razors, so this will be
a first time use for both.
My goatee which is usually one of my facial
trademarks, just as in the first video, I
decided to cut it off.
Usually I would cut it as low as possible
with electronic hair clippers first before
using a razor second, but here again I decided
to dive in head first to hack it up with the
razors instead.
They both gave similarly close shaves.
At first I thought the Gillette gave the closer
shave between the two but upon closer inspection,
they were truly on par with one another with
the finished look.
The only difference being the Gillette was
a bit more rougher and rugged with tugging,
while the Schick was surprisingly a very delicate
shave.
When I separated the razor from my face, many
times I would notice the strings of lotion
coming off the Schick blade on my face, indicating
it might have a considerable more amount of
lotion put onto new razor blades by the company.
The other thing that made the Schick a little
better was the fact that it was less prone
to getting hair clogged in the razor.
A close inspection shows a little bit of a
wider gap between the blades on the Schick
than on the Gillette, which made all the difference
when cleaning and discharging the hair out
of the razor blade.
It’s for these many small reasons that puts
the Schick ahead.
Although I contemplated making this a draw,
the small reasons were more than enough to
edge out a win for the Schick.
Note I didn’t use the battery operated vibrating
function on the Gillette because as I said
in my last versus video, it’s more of a
gimmick and doesn’t make for a better shave
at all.
That’s all for this episode.
Tell me what you guys think in the comment
section below and let me know if you’d like
to see me continue this video series.
That’s kind of a rhetorical question because
the last one is the most watched video on
this channel and the comment section was overwhelming
good.
So good that I’m humbled.
Many people said it was an excellent vid and
very helpful, I’m humbled.
Make sure you head over to our Tumblr page
to see current standings on where the razors
rank now at this moment.
I’ll put a link down in the description.
Thank you for watching and keep it classy.
