Pros & Cons
Pros
The gillette cassette razor is for an everyday close shave. Then it's smoother. Good for beginners as well as experienced shavers. With a superior blade this is a very effective razor, which shaves very close with a couple of passes.

Super cheap compared to the fancy exspensive multiblade contraptions sold in stores
I always use taylors or gf trumper sandlewood shaving creams and astra blades and are much better quality than pro raso and gillette etc

There is no need for a long handle in my view as it is all done with finger tips
