This is the ultimate travel companion for ladies. You don't have to take shaving foams/creams or gels. Just this razor by it's lonesome will do all the work.
I have had this razor for more than 5 years now and even though I have tried other razors over the years, I find myself going back to this razor again and again. And now, I finally have given up on others and have settled down with this. =)
My main issues with shaving is that sometimes I get razor burns and then in grown hair. Another thing is I can't seem to shave my legs without cutting myself in the knees or ankles (bony areas are tricky). With this razor I don't have these issues anymore. Maybe you will struggle at first due to its bulky head size. But as time goes you will become a pro at handling this razor and will get the perfect shave everytime. And the thick girth of the rubber handle makes it easy to hold.
The razor heads comes in 3 pack sets and I have used atleast 2-3 different soapy types. One head usually lasts about 3-4 months for me since I only shave legs and underarms with this. And over the years I must have gone though atleast 12-15 heads. Only con I have to mention is that the soapy head seems to finish before the razor is even remotely dull. So by the end of razor head's lifetime I use a shaving gel with it.
This comes with its own suction cup holder that can be attached to the shower which is very convenient.
I bought this razor because it was cheaper at the supermarket, and it's marketed as not needing shaving cream.
It is a nice razor, the pomegranate scent is pleasant, and you just glide and go. I do find that the bottom part of the conditioner is used far faster than the top part (it is thicker) so I try to use the top as a base before I shave. When the bottom part is used up, the razor often isn't blunt, but the plastic part that holds the cartridge on isn't pleasant to drag over your skin. I end up using soap while waiting for the top part to run out. The conditioner does feel lovely and smooth on your skin though.
The cartridges are really easy to change and a refill of three are comparable to the cost for a new razor with only one cartridge.
I do find because the razor is so bulky, it is easy to hold, but water tends to get inside it. Easy to empty it out, but does make it susceptible to mould if you don't look after it.
Overall, I like the close shave it gives, and I like that I don't have to mess around with cream. I will keep buying this razor.
