Review (4/5): Great razor, but no way to buy just replacement heads (at least not when I’m writing this)
First the good…
I love the razor! It’s cute and comfortable to hold. The razor has 5 blades that are stainless steel. It says they’re made of high quality steel in the USA. The razor head is magnetic so it just clicks right on, I was a little worried with it being magnetic that it might slide or move during use, but the magnets are strong and I wouldn’t even know they were attached magnetically has I not done it myself 😂 It has a metal handle that’s comfortable to hold. There’s a nice ceramic base for it to sit in when you’re not using it. The razor head moves nicely to conform to your body as you shave. It says it goes down 15 degrees and up 65 degrees (it says degrees Celsius in the image but that’s only for temp, not angles so not sure why they added the C? 😂). It has aloe on top AND bottom for extra protection and slip, which is nice. It said it came with 2 replacement razors, which I thought meant it came with the main one and then 2 additional ones, making 3, but it only comes with 2.
Now for the bad…
They recommend to replace the blades every 2 months. But how?! There’s no replacement heads here on Amazon. Why sell something on here that requires replacement heads but not sell the replacement heads on here? Hopefully they will add them before I need them because I love the razor. The razor is currently $11.99. For that you get the razor handle part, ceramic stand, and 2 razor heads. So, if I replace the razor head every 2 months like they recommend, I’ll get 4 months of use out of this. Do I want to spend $11.99 every 4 months just to get replacement heads? That is $5.99 per replacement head if that’s all I’m buying it for. Then I also get a ceramic base every time that I won’t need since I’ll already have one and another razor handle, which I guess isn’t a big deal to replace over time. I can get 4 Venus Gillette replacement heads here on Amazon for $10.99. It’s basically the same thing but I can actually buy a replacement head for it.
So, I’m not sure about this. I love the razor, but it isn’t anything crazy special. The Venus Gillette ones I usually use have aloe on them and 5 blades that work well. I don’t get the nice ceramic base for it to sit in, but that’s not a huge deal to me. I can at least replace the heads easily with it. So, it’s up to you if you don’t mind spending the $11.99 to get replacement heads for this and having to get the handle and base every time too. It’s a really nice razor that works well and is comfortable to hold, and it has a nice base to sit in. The only downside is the replacement heads. Like I said, hopefully they’ll add the replacement heads onto Amazon soon. Right now, I’d say it’s a great razor and if you don’t mind that you can’t buy replacement heads for it, I’d recommend it. If you do mind that you can’t get replacement heads for it, I’d still say it’s a great razor so maybe by the time you’re reading this they have added the replacement heads onto Amazon, so you can check and see! If they have, I’d recommend it. If not, I’d say skip them if it’s an issue not being able to buy just the replacement heads.
