No issues with this razor only the refills a bit expensive.
I bought this product for a gift for my son.
Personal use, it’s light, comfortable, and has a one pass blade. I liked it. We’ll done Gillet labs.
Requires a very minimal amount of effort to painlessly shave – For the guys though, be warned about use in the intimate regions (something I know that is on every guy’s mind when they see a shaver) – While totally fit for purpose and does the trick as one might expect, it takes a certain level of extra care as nicks and cuts are a high likelihood around that area when due care isn’t given.~
So yes it works on any part of the body that wishes to be shaved, but the more valuable the area is to you, the more care you need to give it, if this is done, then the razor is highly recommended – If you are the type of person who doesn’t really take much care in the effectiveness and instead just whizzes it across the desired area hoping for the best, then I suggest a different razor that has some fashion of a safety system
Impressed with razor. Stated it came with a spare refill blade, no blade not impressed!!!!
Great product but not the best razor Gillette has made
Good idea from Gillette. Handy to have stand for blade. Does what it’s supposed to
The shaver is well made and has some weight to it, looks and feels like a premium product. The stand is handy, keeps the shaver from getting wet on the sink.
It gives a great close shave and moves across your face easily and closely.
The only problem is the Price of the replacement blades currently on Amazon for 30 for nine, I have been using Harry blades for about a year now, and although this product gives a better and closer shave, I don’t think I can justify the extra cost. I hope the cost of the blades comes down and I can use this more.
Overall a great shave but expensive.
On the downside the replacement blades are eyewateringly expensive and the “magnetic stand” is somewhat pointless as it isn’t the razor handle that is held magnetically to the base which would make sense, but rather the base is magnetic which fixes it securely to…. well, nothing particularly in bathrooms. So the razor constantly falls off the stand and the stand doesn’t stick to anything. All in all a rather pointless gimmick. If the cost of blades come down I will continue to use it, otherwise I am unsure.
I have used Gillette razors many times in the past and this is definitely a step in the right direction.
The cosmetic of the razor is premium as in colours used and even down to the packaging and product reveal upon opening.
The hold is good , solid and good weighted ergonomically functions well and gets to areas needed to line out jawline etc.
I’m still not sold on the exfoliating barand it probably counters the shaving gear I’m using as I’m not getting the close shave that I really want.
A solid 4/5 though and I would recommend , the magnetic stand is also a nice touch , I know exactly where it is ready for next time.
Overall i can say this razor is very good, probably better than most of the competition, however this comes at a price, as the blades are too expensive in my opinion.
It comes with a small circular stand for the razor but to me this seems a bit of a waste of money and is not needed and just adds to some unnecessary waste of resources along with the bits of unnecessary packaging that are not particularly environmentally friendly.
As for the exfoliating bar does it work? who knows.
The replacement blades are just too expensive but if that does not bother you then this razor will definetly satisfy your needs.
In summary, great shaver and gives a great shave. Would definitely recommend this product and would definitely help a first-time shaver, but I find the head a bit big.
Coming from a mach 3 which I used for 10 plus years, this shaver cuts so smoothly. The head follows the contours of my face so much better and risk of cuts of scrapping the skin is so much less, I didn’t realise how much work I had to do when using my old shaver.
Maybe I still need some more time to get used but I fine the blade head quite large and in areas under my nose I find myself picking up my mach 3 to finish off. Would love a smaller finishing head or if the handle could be interchangeable with older heads.
Firstly the packaging of the razor is like a mobile phone package but it gives a premium feel. Look of the razor is nice with gold and black colour. First shave was really smooth and close. Just one stroke is enough and it leaves no hair. The handle is little heavy with metal body and the grip is not so firm. Flexdisc helps reach all areas easily. As far as exfoliating bar is concerned, I couldn’t feel much difference from my previous razor which was also from Gillette without this bar. One good thing unlike previous ones is that it does not irritate or burn after the shave. Second shave onwards, it has started having slight friction. The stand is quite useful. Overall, this is a nice razor and can be recommended to all.
Bought this on whim as I was somewhat underwhelmed with the old Fusion razor – The 5 blades caused way too much irritation and the Skinguard sensitive blades used to leave quite a few hairs so I have been making do with a traditional safety razor for the last couple of years – this is not great if you are in a hurry and need to shave in the shower. First impressions are good, the packaging is cardboard rather than plastic so tough you need stanley knife to open. The shave handle feels nicely weighted and the matt black and gold colouring makes it look like a quality product.
Using this razor for the first time felt a little odd, almost like I was using blunt blades as the exfoliating bar scrapes across the skin so I was worried about what a mess my skin would be in. Once I got used to the strange feeling and felt my skin to verify that hair was being removed, I got a little more confident and completed the shave successfully.
I have used this a few times now and so far, so good, no skin irritation and a decent shave for once. Time will tell how long the blades will last and if the exfoliating bar, which looks to be hard plastic and non-removable, is doing something over and above a new razor blade.
I would recommend this to those with sensitive looking to shave with little time on their hands. I can maintain similar results using a combination of exfoliating regularly and shaving very carefully but this takes time.
