I've not seen a multi blade razor that has edges on more than one edge/side of the head.
Believe it or not, but Personna made one

I posted this already in another thread, but it wouldn't be right is it wasn't in the Official Cart thread!

That is one sweet looking handle.
My local shave shop carries these in stock in a number of handle materials.

I use my Sensor periodically, mainly for vacationing when bathroom space is THE constraint (e.g. on a cruise). But I am have been know to venture into other cartridge adventures.
I'm thinking about a redux on the linked thread as well, but not sure yet. One more day to decide.

And here all this time I've thought that a single edge razor would be a razor with a single [shaving] edge.
Silly me.

I must confess that threads here at B&B have made me curious about the Feathers cartridge system. They can be got on Big River, maybe I'll give them a go.
Well, upgradeitis has hit me again, now I'm awaiting delivery of this:

Mind elaborating further on the virtues of the Gillette Guard? I'm a daily DE shaver now but trying to decide on a cartridge option for travel. Single blade is better for me because I'm prone to ingrown hairs, and I prefer a non-disposable. From what I've gathered, it looks like the Guard and Bump Fighter are the only two single-blade cartridge options currently available. So I'm now trying to decide between the two.
Edit: I just noticed an earlier post where you did already elaborate on it. So thank you and never mind.

I think you answered your own question
I've used many different carts in my life. Sensor, Mach 3, ProGlide, Fusion Ball thingy, Feather cart system, Bic disposables, even a ladies cart (Venus?) once or twice.....
The Guard crushes them IMO. And it's because of the simplistic design. It just works!
Couldn't stand it, just went on line and bought 2 razors with 21 replacements carts for $11.00 free shipping from India. Looking forward to trying them.
Boy, That's a beauty!
And I thought I had some beautiful Trac II handles. they don't compare, that's a beauty!
Here's a review I did: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/411570-First-Impressions-by-Toothpick-Gillette-Guard
Here's a good article about the Guard: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-razor-forgetting-countrys-running-water.html
Gillette developed it specifically for the market in India. It has been a HUGE success over there.
It rinses incredibly easily. It has one blade and it kind of shaves like an injector. It's very light. And it's cheap!
Give me a can of Barbasol, the Guard and an aftershave splash and I can bust out a shave in under 5 minutes.
Which is a great deal! I get mine from the bay.
compared to 8 proglide carts at Walmart for 32 bucks.
Thanks! I did come across that Daily Mail article earlier in my research. And I was very amused at how Gillette's earlier R&D failed to account for the running water situation. LOL. Sounds like the Guard may work well for me since my habit is to fill the sink and rinse by dipping the razor, even though I do have running water.
That's how I rinse all my razors while shaving.
Mostly I've been using a Schick Hydro lately. This week I mixed it up with a Sensor and a Wilkinson Trac II/Atra cart on a Bump Fighter handle. I like the cart, but I'm not thrilled with the handle. It doesn't hold carts well. I'll be ordering some Gillette handles off eBay this week to replace it.
I have a couple of those KoS razors, but it's been ages since I used one. I think they died a pretty quick death over here, at least I never see them in stores anymore.
My oh my.....
THEY DID....
I cant tell you how much I would like to try one of these. Before today I had never heard of them.
I have a few that I bought last year on a whim. I shaved with one once and that was it because it tore my face up (maybe due to poor shaving angle?).
