I finally got around to writing a review after using it for a year. This razor is not great. It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing either. The razor only takes Hanni-made blades, which is unfortunate because I purchased this for the sustainability, and wanted to be able to use existing blades that I owned and I can’t. I’m forced to buy only Hanni blades. Furthermore, I’ve taken very good care of my razor but the paint has already chipped on the corners. Lastly, the shave pillow smells cheap and looks like gel deodorant. I really wanted to like this product but it is gimmicky and overpriced.

I started 7 months ago with the shave set. I ordered one set of replacement blades and 1 new shave pillow in those 7 months. I’m using my last blade now and I’m not going to reorder. The shave pillow smells like spit when it dries, my husband can’t stand it. It does make shaving dry easier and honestly shaving dry seems to be what this system is meant for. When I try wet shaving I get cut every time! I watched all the videos and really this razor is so sharp you can’t avoid cutting yourself, no matter how slow or easy you go. It does give you smoother skin than disposable razors but you will have to shave every day. I have issues with ingrown hairs and I was hoping this was the answer but it’s not. It might work for some and I don’t regret trying it but after trying it I just decided to get an ipl.

I've been buying objects that last and this is surely one of them. Excited for the powder coated surface that protects the metal. The trap door mechanism for the blade is so well made! A couple of times only one door closed and I had to push the other in, resulting in the blade taking a thin layer from the powder coated inside of the door. But it's all still intact. Love all the pieces and getting to experience all of what Hanni has to offer in one set. Shave pillow is great"though I wish I could exchange the stick out to reduce plastic. The holder has great weight to it so there won't be any tipping. Love it all!
