How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

I sent for this Razor and blade set as I was fed up of paying for expensive blades that didn't last very long ( went blunt quickly) . I used this razor and blades for the first time today and I must say I am very impressed. They are easy to use. The handle has a nice grip and the blades are very, very sharp. Bye Bye expensive named brands I will be using these from now on and saving a fortune .

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality product
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2021
Size Name: 10 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: Without HandleVerified Purchase
I'm shocked and disappointed at the quality of these blades. I purchased the razor and blades starter set a while back and was very happy with them. I recently ordered these replacement blades and they are horrendous. The first one caused major irritation after only two shaves, so I disposed of it and tried a new one. Add you can see from the photo it was the same poor quality as the first one. I've not changed anything else - same shave gel etc. The only difference is these replacement blades. I can only assume they are made with a poorer quality steel than the original ones I got.

Love these! Actually work better than the well known brand they resemble. The moisturising strip is brilliant. It hasn’t slipped in my hands once and shaved like a dream. I got the blue pack for my daughter and she loves them too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed review on this....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2020
Size Name: 4 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: With HandleVerified Purchase
Not sure what to think really. They look and feel good. They are a bit greasy when shaving, I know this is the lubricant on it. But it's a bit sticky after the 1st use!
So anyway, to be really honest on my review, I hadnt shaved anything except my armpits in like 6 weeks due to lock down and all razors being sold out! So when I found this with great reviews I thought I'd try them.... so I had my all over shave. It felt great, lovely close, soft, easy shave, I thought great, I wont be going back to gillette.... but then I used it the next day for my armpits again and the blades actually felt blunt! Now I know it had alot to contend with the day before but blunt feeling already? My gillette wouldnt have done that! (Yes that's been tried and tested as well) so I dont know what to think of this product of it can only uphold 1 major shave! Amd it does leave some residue from the lubricant strip things and they r stick while shaving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2020

I bought these a bit skeptical if they would be any good for the price or not. Overall I'm quite shocked how good they are. My legs were lovely and smooth and these are just as good as the Venus ones I was buying previously for a heck of a lot more money. I'm still on my first blade 2 months in and these come with plenty of spares so they should last me a while. I like they have a little plastic guard to pop on when not in use also. No sticky bits left where you store it. Definitely would buy these again over anything else now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price for Great Product
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2020

So so easy to use, never had such an easy shave - that’s attributed to the lubrication and the five blades, I reckon. Only qualm is the lubrication which can go a bit (without sounding ridiculous) sticky? it’s less of a glide and goes tacky sometimes.
Also, first shave wasn’t the smoothest I’ve ever had but three days in and my legs still look smooth. Very pleased with this product and would buy again, massive fan of the cardboard packaging (even if there’s a lot of excess plastic in the form of various caps etc.).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sting razor - no hair residue at the back!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2020
Size Name: 4 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: With HandleVerified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 So smooth!

The pictures and video are taken after first very long use!

I used it on about 3 weeks worth of body hair in all shaveable areas.

I can use normal razor (even brand new) usually on one or two strokes (without cleaning in between) removing a lot of hair, but usually third and fourth stroke (without cleaning) doesn’t remove much hair, if any at all.

This razor is a lot more powerful.
I can use it in 3-4 stokes (without cleaning in between) and still removes a lot of hair by stroke 4!

And the biggest nightmare for me is the hair at the back of the razor that can’t be removed and clogs up the razor.
Once (in my old razor) I tried using a sewing pin to remove it 😂

I have spent over 30 minutes in the shower shaving everything using this razor, and as you can see on the pictures and video no hair is present at the back!

If that changes later I’ll update it.

So far so good for me.

Hubby was happy, I’m happy, win win 😉

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it, ignore that one photo in the reviews... read the review you'll see
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2020
Size Name: 4 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: With HandleVerified Purchase
This review is written by my wife as she uses my account to purchase stuff) So, I wasn't going to buy these having seen that one photo that's been uploaded, but I did and I'm very glad I did.
*Honest review* if you don't like honesty look away now! I bought them as razors are ridiculously priced these days and throughout lockdown I hadn't shaved, after all no one except my husband was going to see... (terrible I know) being very dark haired it had got to the point where i looked like a yeti, and the only other thing that would cut through was a flymo but i dont own one. Locked at expensive brands and gave up, ordered these.
They arrived next day, the layout of the box looks nice and all looks the part, but in my head I still saw that dreadful photo of a woman with razor rash and wasn't expecting much. Don't believe what you see, yes the lubricant was a little sticky, but as I do with every new razor plush head first in very hot water for 3 mins to adjust the razor and then fire away. As long as you keep enough moisture ie soap, shower gel, foam on the area the razer works amazingly. That's why you get a rash, if an area isn't properly prepared.
I was super surprised, so I'd definitely say well worth it. Maybe sell it with some sort of soap or shaving gel feature that would just be the icing on the cake, loved it.... and now, so does the husband.. :-)
