CremoAstonishingly Superior Tortoise Shell (Horn) Razor Kit (Packaging May Vary)

I typically like safety razors because they are cheap and cut well. However, I prefer to use cartridge razors because they are easier to use. My problem with cartridge razors is that I find they pull my facial hair just as before they cut it. This makes them uncomfortable to use and I have to do a lop of prep to make sure my facial hair is sufficiently soft and ready to be shaved.This razor, for me at least, is the best cartridge razor I have used and I use it more frequently than my safety razor. I can quickly shave my face with minimal prep and it doesnt pull my beard. In fact, its so gentle that I have stopped using alcohol-based aftershaves because I no longer need them to dull the burn after a shave. I get a really fantastic shave with just one pass and I can even shave against the grain without getting ingrown hairs. I've tried many different cartridge razors including all the gimicky ones from gillette. The Cremo razor is the best cartridge razor I have ever owned and I highly recommend it.

I got this because it was half off at Walmart after a Christmas special. After using it for almost a year now and buying new blades, this has to be the best razor on the market. I usually get the best razor Gillette offer, but after a while, it pulls your hair. This one stays sharp for a very, very long time. My wife and I both love it. Usually, after she uses it, it's no good, but this one—I don't understand how it doesn't have more people who buy it or know about it. But I promise you, if you get it, you will not regret it. I almost don't want to tell people because if it becomes popular they're probably going to start charging more.. Hope they don't though

Very well made razor! Forget other name brands, this one is much better. The handle can hold a lubricant if desired.

Smooth shave. Slippy handle. I would get the Schick hydro handle instead tbh. It looks cool but I like function and utility more than the look. But if you do get it it’s a nice comfy shave. Still not as good as Gillette.

Very close shave.

Update: I upgraded my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. I did not like the size of the head when shaving in close areas like under my nose. I failed to realize that the top of the blade is hinged and can be swung out of the way letting you get super close. My bad.I'm an unwavering M3 customer since it's release. I have been drifting towards Cremo shampoo, soap and body wash. I figured I'd try the Cremo Schick blade. The blade quality is truly barbershop quality. So close of a shave and zero nicks or shave burn on my neck. I shave in the shower and have only 2 complaints. The handle is very slippery when wet. You have to pinch near the head to hold. My other complaint is the size of the head. It's like shaving with a push broom. You can't shave under your nose. But still so good that I'll buy it again.

I'm really on the fence about this one. I love the classic tortoiseshell and metal look, it's hard to find affordable disposable blade razors like this in general. Just for reference, I am a woman, but generally dislike the typical razors designed and marketed to women and/or female-identifying since they are usually plastic and not very aesthetically pleasing.I think this one was designed more for shaving faces than armpits and legs, so there is no curve to the handle, and the handle is slippery when wet with no texture. I bought this knowing it was not really designed with my shaving needs in mind simply because I liked its appearance.The first one I by this brand (transparent silver) quickly filled with water, and it was before I realised it could be unscrewed and emptied, so I threw it out because it looked gross. I did not use that one long enough to tell if I really liked it. This (tortoiseshell) one is better looking anyway and if water gets into the handle, it is not really noticeable. Unfortunately I have had razor burn and in-grown hairs appear with much greater frequency than with other razors in the past, and I don't know if this is just a coincidence. I am not doing anything else differently, so I don't know what else it could be. Although I do have sensitive skin, I've never had this much irritation shaving.Pros:Attractive unisex designNot too expensiveCons:Not ergonomically designed for women/anyone who shaves legs/armpitsDifficult to grip when wetMay have caused skin irritationOverall, I will keep it for the moment, but may go back to using Oui the People weighted safety razors, even though it is more time consuming for me to use that type. Those are beautiful too- although a lot more expensive. Oui razors are apparently designed for any gender and for various body parts- so that may be the superior aesthetically pleasing razor in the end, I'm not sure. I will keep an open mind regarding Cremo, but in my opinion not ideal for sensitive skin or shaving legs.

Great razor and blades balanced well
