Advantages: Blade is set in a block of shea butter soap so no need for a shaving gel!

Disadvantages: Shaving armpits closely takes more concentration.

Having read a very bad review on this product I had to write and give my opinion as its completely the opposite.

I found this razor to be that good, I have been using it for years!!

UNIQUE SPECIAL FEATURE
The razor is designed with a block of moisturizing shea butter soap around the head of the razor. The idea being that you don't need to use shaving gel making it more convenient, quick and cost effective as its two products in one.

GREAT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
I have sensitive skin on my legs and shaving with a normal good quality razor used to give me a rash. After trying this my skin was left smooth, moisturized and soft!

DISADVANTAGE
The only downside to the razor is that the soap around the blade does run out after a few weeks but to be honest its no quicker than any other normal razor blade would. Generally I have found once the soap is gone the blade is in need of change anyway.

EASE OF USE
Other reviews have said they found it to be bulky and impossible to use in areas where precision is required. I completely disagree! I use this around my bikini line, arm pits and legs and I can do it quicky, preicisly and without any cuts. I never get in growing hairs either like other reviewers have complained about. I used to used Gillette sensor excel, a normal quality razor, and I would get far more cuts using using that than I do with this one! The razor blade head works on a pivot which follows the contours of the body allowing for a closer shave.

The only negative I would say is the bulk of the head a sometimes prove a little difficult for giving a closer shave in the armpit area, but you can do it you just need to be firmer with it.

OTHER BLADES YOU CAN USE ON IT
I have tried both the Sensitive blade and the Natural Milk & Honey blade. Both work a treat but I found the Natural one to be better as its more moisturizing. Once you have the razor handle you can attached any of the 3 types of blades in the range to it. The blades are triple blades set inside a block of Skin Conditioning Solid. It doesn't lather up much but it doesn't really have too, it still does the job.

EXTRAS
The razor comes with a holder with suction to attach it to a tiled wall in the bathroom. I have found this works great, stays attached for months! The only time the razor ever falls out is when I knock it by mistake when in the shower, which is quite often and it has never broken or damaged the razor.

PRICE
The razor is priced at £4.89 and it comes with 1 blade (might be two, I don't remember). The blades come in packs of 3 priced at £5.39, prices vary depending on the shop.

BONUS
You don't have to use a shaving gel!

Summary: Cost effective, convenient and highly moisturizing!
