In their words

Best shave i've gotten in years, after switching from a 3 blade razor. Skin feels buttery smooth after. Glides so nicely, and it actually soothed the razor bumps I already had. I was pleasantly surprised, considering hearing many girls say that men's razors are better.

Amanda · verified purchase · Target

Do not read the “influencer” reviews who likely haven’t even used the product and are given free product. This is a HORRIBLE razor. Feels like you’re shaving with a butter knife. Doesn’t come close to skin either as there is a little bumper/guard that keeps it from grazing the skin flat. So you’re going to have stubble and an uneven shave. Burned $20 by buying these.
