I bought a Gillette Guard and several refills for travel and they work great. I get an incredibly close shave from them and no matter how much pressure I use, there's no irritation, nicks or weepers. I think it's a great product.
"Squeezing bucks"?? They're not forcing anyone to buy them and there's plenty of alternatives to be found. Give the Indians some credit. If they're buying up the Guard, it just might be because they've found that they're worth it, and not every one in India is dirt poor.
Of course not everyone in India is dirt poor, but if a quarter of them earn less than 40 cents a day (USD)(2005 figures) they really aren't choosing between the guard and the Mach 3 right?... I assume you're American, and your definition of dirt poor is minimum salary 5-12 USD an hour depending on your state, which allows "dirt poor" people to buy Mach3s. By selling .02USD razors they are getting a new market of over a quarter of a billion Indians who can't afford the rest of the Gillette products (apart from their DE blades, which have tough competition).
I keep them for shaving the back of my neck in the shower. Good single blade cart.I used mine the last couple of days and cannot really say anything bad about it.
The thing shaves well and doesn't irritate. It's worth shopping around for and trying at such a low price.
I'm thinking of stocking up on them..
I shave 2 or 3 times a week typically. It's gotten to the point that I use the Guard 1 out of those 3 times. It's just that good, that foolproof, that easy. If only it had a heavier handle.....
