It squished?
I'm not impressed. I got one leg done & with the slightest bit of pressure, it SQUISHED! Like if you were to squish stick deodorant. I don't even know how. I'd like to give it one more shot but it's expensive full price. Oh well.
I really didn't like it
First off, the razor is quite big, and comes with a replacement
cartridge. The handle is made or medium-hard rubbery substance, that’s
really comfortable in hand, but it can’t fit my razor holder in the
shower. It’s supposed to work just by wetting the razor, and shaving,
but besides making the razor wet, I had to get my legs really wet, or
the shaving cream around the blades would start skipping. I am able to
do this out of shower, but do need to stay in my washroom with a towel
on the floor, because I have to keep my legs REALLY wet, and the water
drips down a bit. Also, obviously, I needed to rinse every now and then,
although less than with my regular way of shaving, so I’d say stay
close to a water source. Rinsing the razor is a bit weird, since it
feels that the hairs get stuck inside somehow, so I would get the
cartridge off and rinse it well every now and then. The razor with its
moisturizing ribbons makes my skin itchy, so I have to rinse off and
moisturize immediately after shaving, which doesn’t happen to me with
other razors, not do I have sensitive skin. Maybe someone with normal
skin could go without moisturizing, but I have really dry skin and
couldn’t skip this step.
It was super fast to shave my whole legs with this razor though, and
easy to rinse off the remaining shave cream. I did get a few cuts the
first few times I used it, that I don’t usually get when shaving, and I
think it’s because I was pressing a bit too hard. There is definitely a
learning curve here, it takes some getting used to this razor. I also
don’t think it’s good for smaller and curvier surfaces, like underarms
and toes – I didn’t get a really close shave there, and it was hard to
navigate it, since it’s so bulky. In general, it seems like I don’t get
the closest shave overall.
I like the swivel design, and it really helps follow the curves of my
legs, but like I already said, it’s not good for smaller surfaces. There
is a button on the side for releasing the cartridge, which makes it
easy, and an included plastic cap with holes to protect the blades (and
your fingers) while providing airflow, so that the razor dries off more
easily.
It feels a bit wasteful to throw away the
whole cartridge once the shaving cream is gone, since it gets used up
way faster than I’d change my razor usually. This razor would’ve been
great for travel, since it eliminates the need for any additional
shaving product, and the shaving cream in the cartridge is solid, so
there is no fear of spilling, but it’s just not great for underarms and
toes, so I would think twice about bringing it along.
The only way I’m using it is for a quick
shave when I need to run somewhere and forgot to shave previously,
because it does make shaving quicker. However, my hair comes out the
next day, since it’s not such a close shave. Overall, this was an
awesome idea, but poorly executed. I used up both cartridges, but won’t
be buying more.
