I spent years convinced I just had sensitive skin. Aloe razors, sensitive skin gels, the expensive aftershave lotions, all of it. Third shave with this and my legs were smooth with none of the usual red patches on my shins. Turns out the problem was everything stuck between the blades, not my skin. I honestly did not expect a razor to change my mind about that.

Lovely

Honest review: my first shave left a few rough spots on my knees and I almost boxed it back up. The card inside says give it three shaves, so I did. You have to stop pressing hard, because you are used to a razor that drags. By the third shave my legs were smoother than with my old razor and a full can of shaving cream. Taking one star off because the adjustment period is real.

I put off ordering because the connection part looked like something I would need my landlord for. It is not. Unscrewed the shower head by hand, screwed the piece on, done. Under two minutes, no tools, and it fit my standard shower thread fine. If you can change a shower head you can install this.

Bikini line and underarms were always the worst for me. Red bumps, ingrown hairs, that itchy regrowth feeling two days later. Two weeks in and I do one or two light passes with warm water running through the blades the whole time, and I have stopped reaching for the soothing gel afterwards. Not magic, my skin is still my skin, but summer shorts feel a lot less risky now.

I added up what I was spending on cartridges, shaving cream and the after-shave lotions and it was embarrassing. Five weeks in and I am still on the first cartridge because nothing dries and cakes inside it between shaves. No more cream on the shopping list either. If four cartridges really last close to a year like they say, this pays for itself fast. That math is what sold me, the smoother shave is the bonus.

What I love is everything I stopped doing. No lathering cream on wet legs, no stopping every three strokes to rinse the razor under the tap, no clumps of hair and foam around the drain. I shave while my conditioner sits and I get out of the shower already done. My whole routine is maybe ten minutes shorter and the shower stays cleaner too.

Know what you are buying. It lives in your shower, so it will not come on weekend trips and you cannot do a quick sink touch up before going out. For the regular legs and underarms shave at home it beats every razor I have owned, and I love that I can run the water warm the whole time. I keep a cheap disposable in my travel bag and use this for everything else.

My sister would not stop talking about hers, so I ordered one mostly to make her stop. Now we are that family. It is one of those products that immediately makes sense the first time you use it, water rinsing the blades while you shave instead of you doing it at the tap every few strokes. I have already sent the link to two friends who always complain about razor burn. I wish I had found this years ago.
