Great razor with a premium design and feel, just be careful
The Double Edge Safety Razor for Women is a really good razor that delivers a clean close shave but unfortunately due to an accident on first use moving back to the known safety of a conventional razor.
– Very premium product
– Sharp high-quality blades
– Easy to assemble and use
– Looks great
– Easy to make a mistake with
I got this for my partner as she gets through razors very quickly and this looked like a great option to help both reduce cost and waste as you only need to replace the blade from this as needed and not a head full of plastic and blades. The razor comes in beautiful premium packaging fitting for the product and its ethos, once the razor is out it needs to be assembled with a blade in place, this is easy enough, just make sure you are careful with the blade, the head clamps down on the blade holding it in place.
Once assembled, the head of the razor is very weighty, I’m sure this is intended to help with control and give it a nice feel, but for my partner, it is just a little much and if it was about half the weight on the head it would be much better for her. The set comes with five blades meaning it should last quite a while before you need to supply more.
When using the razor it gives a VERY close shave and does a great job but unfortunately on my partners first use she gave herself a nasty cut just above her ankle and this has put her off using it in the future, she has gone back to the known safety of conventional razors with multiple blades to spread the pressure, I am hopeful that she will give it another go in the future as having all the packaging and the product here for one use really does defeat the environmental benefits of the product.
