Advantages: Silky smooth legs.

Disadvantages: The lathery stuff comes off sometimes.

I first bought this razor because of the claim that it lathered, shaved and moisturised all in one go. I used to hate messing around buying separate shaving foam and all the rest of it so I thought that this product would be ideal for me. You buy the actual handle of the razor itself which comes with a razor head to start you off and then you subsequently have to buy the actual razor heads (whihc ome in packs of three), as and when you need to replace the blunt ones.

The razor handle is quite nice to hold, it is quite wide and has soft pads for extra grip. This is useful as I find one of the main reasons I cut myself with disposables is because they slip. The blades or heads look like normal triple blade razor heads, except they are surrounded by a solid, whitish substance. There is quite a lot of this around the actual razor blades, perhaps about half an inch to an inch above and below the blades. When this comes into contact with water it creates a lather which does away with the need for a separate shaving gel or foam. Ok, so it doesn't create a huge, suddy lather that foam makes, but you can see that it does lather and there is plenty of it for the purpose of shaving your legs. You can feel the silky smooth film that it leaves on your legs as you shave, and this softness is left behind when you rinse the lather off.

I used to find that each razor head lasted quite a long while, the soapy stuff around the blade took ages to go down and even when it did, the blades were often still usable. The replacement heads come in packs of three and I don't remember buying a pack very often. I only have one gripe with this product (and one that I didn't used to have). They must've changed or done something with the recipe or ingredients for the soapy, moisturising stuff around the blade, as where they used to last ages, the soapy bit around the blade now breaks off after a couple of uses, and is impossible to mould back on. This means that where one head would've lasted ages, it now doesn't last long at all. Consequently my intuition razor has been lying in the bathroom unused now, but I hope that they have sorted this problem out so that I can resume my use of it! Overall it is a really good product though as you don't have to bother with lathering your legs up before or moisturising them afterwards!

Summary: Gives you nice soft legs.
