This razor genuinely exceeded my expectations. The 5-blade MotionSphere design glides effortlessly over the skin and adapts really well to contours, making the shave both close and comfortable. I noticed significantly less tugging and irritation, even on sensitive areas. Overall, this razor feels high quality, well-designed, and durable. It delivers a consistently smooth shave and clearly competes with (or beats) more expensive options. If you want a reliable, comfortable razor that handles both full shaves and detailed grooming, this is an easy 5-star recommendation. Read more
I have used the Mach 3 for almost my whole life. I wanted to give this one and the 3 blade option a try. These work very well and will save you a lot of money. These lubricant on the blades don’t last super long so definitely no dry shaving with these. Read more
The front facing razor is great - provides a good clean shave. The head moves and adjusts well. It's well made. I've tried Gillette, Schick, DSC, Harry's and Jeremy's and this is at least on par with them all and better than some (Schick and Jeremy's are my other favorites). Therefore, at its price point, it would be a clear leader. Exceeeeeepppppttt....The rear-facing trimmer blade stinks! Either the angle of the blade or the amount of protrusion from the casing are such that it constantly cuts/nicks such that it renders it unusable. I have to keep a separate trimmer blade of another brand to pair with this one. I don't think it would require much study of competitor's trimmer blade to re-design the angle/positioning and make this entre blade great. But as it sits, it's only pretty good. Read more
Wow, I am impressed! I needed new razors but had never used the Amazon Basics version, although I have used things in other categories, from food seasonings to flea drops for our dog, and they've always been great. Soooo, I took a chance and ordered the handle w/2 blade cartridges. Great shave! I shaved last night after my shower and it did very good. And I was probably a few days late on shaving, so the length of facial stubble was a good test for the 5 blades. It passed with flying colors! No nicks, no bumps. Just keep it well rinsed(clogging is a definite problem with all stacked multi-blades, not just this) & you're good to go. I now have a new razor set for my shaving routine. Read more
Well I was a long time user of the Big G (I'll call it) 5 blade razor, but the last time I ordered a bunch of refills something strange happened, you know that great feeling when you pop a new refill blade in and start shaving? Well either I've started growing stubbles of steel, or something drastically wrong happened with this batch of Big G blades, a brand new blade felt like I was shaving with a month old razor! I thought well maybe I just got one bad one in the batch, I popped another new one in... Same thing! and another, and another, that's it I thought, for as expensive as these things are I'm done, and I went shopping for something new, came across Amazons 5 blade razor, and for the price I figured why not give it a try? It's very good looking if that even matters, looks every bit as expensive as the Big G, and it cuts just like I was used to with the G! AND it has the trimmer blade on the back, which I have to have for under my big nose, I'm sold, I don't think I'll be going back. EDIT a week later... The main blades are still great, but what's with the trimmer blade? It kind of feels like I'm running a rough piece of plastic over my face, this sure could use a little improvement. Read more
I usually shave with an electric razor, but approximately 4 times a month I blade shave. I do not have a heavy beard, so as a rule, no need to shave every day. After using the first blade a few times I felt I was not getting the benefit of a good shave. I changed to the other blade, and checked the sharpness after a few uses, like I usually do. I felt significant decline in the sharpness. I am going to revert to my other options. Not worth it, even at the low price. Read more
