Before leaving for my summer holiday I always like to stock up on new toiletteries, including some new treats. This year was no exception. Although I have several razors in my bathroom all need new blades. As new blades often cost more than a new razor I decided to treat myself to a new razor. Looking along the shelves of Superdrug I spotted a new razor made by Wilkinson Sword. The razor caught my eye for 2 reasons. One it was on sale at ½ price for under £3 and two it looked like a whole new concept in women's shaving. The Wilkinson Sword Intuition claims to be the worlds first all in 1 razor for women.

What you get for your money.
*************************
The razor comes in a fairly bulky plastic packaging. IT was very difficult to break into too! However once I had released the razor I was able to have a proper look. The razor itself is quite large and bulky. The handle is easy to hold and it fits well in my hand. Pull off the plastic protective top to reveal what looks like a block of white soap surrounding the blades. The idea is that you don't need to use shaving foam when shaving. The instructions state that all you need to do for a perfect shave is to wet the razor and then glide it along your skin.

Also included in the pack was a plastic wall suction holder so that you can fix the razor over your bath or shower. As I was going to be taking the razor on holiday I didn't bother trying this out. However its there if you want to use it!

The pack I bough had no spare blade included but as I paid under £3 I couldn't really complain!

My experience.
*************
The razor is larger than other razors I have owned and looks quite chunky. The plastic cover that protects the blades is very awkward to take on and off. I find that the push button mechanism doesn't work so the top falls off.

I usually shave my legs and under my arms in the bath. To activate the soap all you need to do is wet the razor so this is easy in a bath. The razor does give a good close shave and my legs felt smooth and moisturized after I had shaved them. I am always worried about nicking my skin when shaving but this razor was fine! The soap surrounding the blades lathered well and rinsed off with no problem.

However after just a few uses the soap surrounding the blades began to fall apart. I also found the razor very difficult to clean as bits of hair stick to the soap and are difficult to get off.

I tend to shave my legs a few times a week and expect a razor to last for several months before I need to buy replacement blades. I have been using this razor since the beginning of August and the blade is still fine. However the soap has all but disappeared so I now need to use shaving foam which defeats the object of the all in one concept!

The pros.
*********
Easy to use and great to take on holiday as this is an all in one razor so you don't need to take shaving foam.
Gives a good close shave and leaves skin feeling smooth with no shaving nicks.

The cons.
********
The soap surrounding the blade doesn't last and falls apart. The cap protecting the blade tends to fall off. Replacement blades are expensive.

Overall I can't really recommend this razor especially at the full retail price of over £5.
