I had to take the time and write a review after almost being scared off by so many reviews mentioning cuts, difficulty of use, etc. I'd never used a razor like this (single blade, weighted, etc.) and was previously using a 5-blade Billie, disposables before that. Found this on sale and got sucked in by the gorgeous packaging.
Was pretty nervous to try it the first time, but after going SO slowly and carefully at first.. I realized I didn't even need to?? Literally there's nothing to it! I shave the exact same way I have in the past and get the closest shave I've ever gotten. I haven't gotten a single cut or any discomfort. I used the shave pillow balm that came in the kit, then tried my Dr. Bronners liquid soap (what I've always used) and the results seemed exactly the same. I like the shave pillow though and will continue to use it.
I even shaved my bikini line the other day and not only didn't get cut, but came away without a single razor bump or bit of irritation?? Which has NEVER happened to me before. This was last week and I still don't even have any stubble.
Apparently a lot of people are shaving in a pretty different way, so maybe be careful at first I guess in case that's you? But just had to come say that my fears were totally unwarranted and this razor is incredible. It's so easy and comfortable and I'm hooked. Customer for life now, please never stop making this. ♡
