    Shave #2 of a side-by-side comparison between the Gen 1 & Gen 2 Guerillas. Yesterday I used Gen 1 on the right side of my face, and Gen 2 on the left. Today I switched sides to take into account technique.

    The results were similar.

    Switching sides didn’t change anything, and the Gen 1 proved again to be more efficient, especially on the first pass.

    Yesterday’s shave was too close to call a winner. Today’s final shave results were more conclusive, and the Gen 1 gave a closer shave, while still feeling slightly smoother.

    The Gen 2 has a slightly smaller gap (.54 vs. .69), and if I remember correctly, more blade exposure. It also makes loading the blade easier compared to the 1st generation. With the Gen 2 feeling ever-so-slightly more aggressive, it came as a surprise to me that the Gen 1 shaves slightly better.

    Both are mild-medium razors, and I’d be happy with either one as a daily shaver. With a different blade, more buffing, better technique, etc., I’m sure either razor would provide decent shaves to anyone. I have other razors that I like better, and plenty of razors that I don’t like as much.
