Review (1/5): Disappointing - Razor IS NOT Washable As Depicted & Cutter Block Got Dull Very Quickly
I wanted a USB-chargeable pocket razor to use on my face while in the hospital. I especially liked that the WIOR Razor was listed as washable, and that the photos in the listing even included one showing a hand holding the razor under a stream of water.
The razor is nicely boxed, but I noted the unit itself was quite light compared to other travel razors about the same size I've used in recent years (my favorite one is no longer available in America, alas). Still, a lighter razor is no big deal, as long as it works.
I read the instruction leaflet - only to immediately see a warning not to expose the razor to water! ( ¿ ?) I double checked the Amazon listing to make sure I was sent the right razor, and I certainly was - however, the depiction of it as washable - particularly the image of someone holding it under a faucet stream - is highly misleading. One must remove the foil screen frame and then pull of the cutter block (while being careful the tiny spring does not fall out), and then wash the block separately.
I quickly phoned Amazon's product support number, to explain the major discrepancy, as was told measures would bet taken to correct the listing so no one else would be mislead. I had the option of returning the razor, but given my immediate need, decided to keep it.
It worked reasonably well the first week or so, but the cutter block quickly dulled and shaving became a bit painful over the course of the next couple weeks. I certainly did carefully wash the cutter block by removing the foil in its frame, and then pulling off the block (and each time the little spring would pop off, but fortunately was never lost). However, by last week, just 32 days after purchase, the shaver was cutting quite poorly - even causing a bit of pain to use. In only a month, with light use, the cutting block had dulled to the point of uselessness.
I must point out that despite my call about the misleading product description and imagery, the washability feature remains in the listing as of this writing, five weeks later.
I am very disappointed to see that no action was taken, despite the assurances I was given back in April.
