Let me start by saying I've been a loyal user of Amazon razors for years, and they've been my go-to choice for a reason. The 5-blade razors, in particular, have been my holy grail, providing the smoothest, most comfortable shave I've ever experienced. Each replacement head lasts me well over a month, even with daily touch-ups and every other day shaving. I couldn't ask for more in terms of quality and longevity. A Slip in Attention: However, this time, I admit I didn't pay close attention while ordering, and I ended up with the 3-blade version instead of my beloved 5-blade razors. It was a classic case of my own oversight, and I'm kicking myself for not reading the listing more carefully. The 3-blade razors, while undoubtedly functional, just don't match the smoothness and precision I'm used to with the 5-blade razors. Personal Preference: I want to be clear; my slightly lower rating is purely due to my personal preference. The 3-blade razors are not bad by any means; they just don't align with my shaving habits and skin sensitivity as well as the 5-blade ones do. I find them a bit rougher on my skin, which is something I hadn't experienced with the 5-blade version. A Note to Fellow Shavers: So, here's a friendly reminder for fellow shavers: make sure to double-check the specifications and choose the razor that suits your preference best. Whether you're a fan of 3 blades or 5, Amazon razors are undeniably top-notch in terms of quality, sharpness, and durability. It's just a matter of what works best for your skin and shaving routine. Conclusion: In conclusion, Amazon razors are fantastic, and my experience with the 3-blade version hasn't changed that. While I might have a temporary mismatch in my shaving routine, I can confidently say that these razors, regardless of the blade count, are worth the investment. So, whether you're a meticulous reader like me or occasionally overlook details, rest assured that Amazon razors deliver quality, even if you accidentally end up with a version that doesn't align perfectly with your preferences. Here's to smooth shaving, no matter the blade count! Read more
Summary: Easy to use, good quality, close shave, blades last a long time, but has a large head. Let me start by saying that I often go for long periods of time where I only shave every other day. I am used to my expensive 5 head razers lasting 3 weeks to a month. I have used Gillette, Schick and Harry in the past. I have liked them all equally depending on the blade model that I buy. I bought this pack with 2 of the 5 blades, but then bought 3 blade replacement pack because I never felt like I got a closer shave with my Gillette when it went from 3 blades to 5. It just got more expensive. This razer handle is about the same as others. Weight, angle, etc. It's comfortable and easy to use just as the all are. But the head does seem to swivel better in more directions. It gives a very close shave and although I have sensitive skin, it glides nicely and does not leave razor burn. The surprising thing...... It is now exactly 2 months since I bought it and I have not been able to try the 3 blade refills because I'm still using the first 5 blade head that came with the handle. It came with 2. So it will be at least another 2 months before I will be able to try and review the 3 blade version. The only negative for me is that they are very large. There is a large area around the blades. I have had some other brands models that do this too. It's like a swiffer, and makes it a bit difficult to make clean lines at the sideburns and get under the nose. I'm not sure why they do this. But it still shaves like a dream and last such a long time that it makes the already good value even better. Some men throw their razers around or stick them in with toothbrushes and other thing where the blades get banged up. I always lay mine flat, blades up and very well cared for. But these really do seem to last longer than the other brands. Read more
Great quality razor for price. Read more
Shaved me right up, I was all beardy and gross but now I am all clean cut and shaven and turning heads. Why just last week I had a young lady come up to me and ask me directions to the local coffee shop. Something that I feel wouldn’t have happened with my long thick gross beard. I would recommend these to anyone just looking for a razor that isn’t too expensive and shaves like a dream. Or if you are just looking for a razor to replace your old worn out one and don’t want to spend hours and hours looking on-line for a razor that will do the same exact thing that one of those expensive razors does.

I was a bit skeptical because of the low cost of these razors, but I must tell you after using them a few times they’re very good. I will be re-ordering refills when I run out. Great value for the money. The pivoting and swivel head designed of the razor makes it very easy to shave, sensitive areas. I highly recommend them. Read more
First batch was excellent so I repurchased. I'm reviewing this one. This one was quite bad. It was a bad batch of heads. They seem to have specs of dirt or grime and some blades look off. The box came crushed and half open. The first batch held its sharpness without tugging for a couple of weeks using 3 times a week. You could probably stretch that a month depending on how coarse your hair and routine. The easy-to-use on and off of the handle is great. So is the little container the razor heads come in. Try your luck, they are a great value Read more
