Shave It Grand 6-Blade Razor with Handle and 4 Blades

*** Updated after four months of useage ***I have added a couple of pictures, a before and and after and also my old trusty Gillette being consigned to the bin!After i had used up the six blade cartridges that came with the handle i ordered some more. Unfortunately i wasnt paying a lot of attention and bought the five blades by accident.No problem, i would see how i go and it really hasnt been to much detriment of the performance of the razor.Everything i said in my initial review stands true, i am shaving less frequently, i have a closer shave, nick and cut free, the blades last longer and so i am saving a lot of money.Highly recommended! Buy some if you are even considering a move away from the heavily hyped big brands!--------For several years i have been using Gillette Fusion Pro Glide, which depending on where you shop and in what size pack you buy can cost anything between £2-3 per blade. Its served me well over the years, i always get a consistent shave, no nicks or cuts unless ive ran out of gel and am using a soap/toothpaste combo to oil my balding head.Typically ill use one blade per week, shaving my massive head every 48 hours. I don't know if i should be getting more or less, i just look at the rub strip and generally go off that rather than deliberating over the sharpness of the blade.I was in no rush to switch but have mulled it over in the past and tried a couple of other brands. Primarily my reason for switching is cost, and also every likes new stuff don't they? I picked this based on reviews, i wasn't aware Amazon ran a branded razor and cost.Also this has six blades, six! Why have three, or four, or five, when you can have six, six has got to be better hasnt it??The Good -- The razor arrives in a plain brown box, a simple sheet of instructions and the stick along with the typical four pack plastic blade holder. So far so good.- The stick is a nice weight, it feels solid in the hand, its a different style of handle, a more traditional one than the Gillette but still with a modern blade interface similar to the rest of the market. You plug the stick into the blade socket and away you go.- The rubber strip seems to lubricate the shave well enough, i generally shave in the shower or without looking much, feeling with one hand shaving with the other. Stroke wise i have in the past approached a new razor with some trepidation in case i nick the top half of my ear off. If you've used the plastic two blade Bic's from the 1960s then you'll know what i mean. After a couple of strokes i didn't feel nervous.- The shave is smooth, no irritation post, no close calls or cuts during and comfortable throughout. As per the picture you can see it was close, very close. Its easy to sometimes say this is better than my predecessor and not have evidence or just be clouded by shiny new stuff, but this genuinely has given me a closer shave than the Gillette.- As said i religiously shave every 48 hours, like clock work, i have the receding hairline of an 18th Century Monk, any growth for me is a horrific experience. Post my first shave i managed to breach 72 hours before the nasty little hairs started to become a sprouting messy testament to my advancing years and i reached for the razor again. Excellent.- The Not So Good- The handle, and this is mainly my own fault, i saw six blades, i saw cost reduction, i was seduced. I didn't consider how a traditional handle would feel versus a wind tunnel tested space aged rubber covered stick. It can be slippy. It doesn't slip and fly across the bathroom, but i do have to hold it tighter. Not a massive issue and as said i didn't really consider that so its not a product design issue, there are alternates from Amazon and ill be picking one up to go with the blades.- Prolonged testing, not a mark down just an observation, i haven't tested longevity of the blades, ive only had one shave. However given i use one blade per week with my old Gillette, which at one shave every 48 hours works out a 3.5 shaves per week and i am shaving every 72 hours with this so only 2.33 times per week, the blade will naturally - hopefully - last longer.Appreciate this is a very sad and overly detailed summary to assess the cost effectiveness and longevity of blades, but i haven't got any hair to style or design each day, wash and shampoo etc, ive got time on my hands.I will update this review in a couple of months after some prolonged use and with an alternate handle but from what i have experienced so far and my projections on cost saving along with the reduction in number of times ill actually have to shave then its Five Stars.I have no idea how this would fair on someones face, but if you shave your head, and you want an alternate to the big brands, which lets be honest charge ridiculous amounts because theyve splurged on sponsoring football stars and racing cars in marketing money, then this is a top notch razor.Five Stars.

As someone who could likely grow out a fur jacket to keep me warm in winter, I have often been left needing to find reliable shaving products. As a woman, I've found that Ifeel the need to shave my arms, legs armpits- meaning that I require a razor that is long lasting and not likely to remove layers of skin. Out of all the cheap and expensive brands I have tried, I find this razor to be one of, if not the best for both value and use.Its smooth blades and adjustable head works well to glide over the contours of your body and face and the blades are robust enough to last for some while. The price is amazing and I look forward to buying new heads for the razor without the need to sell a kidney or a family member in order to afford them.I have managed to cut myself with this razor accidentally, but there is a good chance that is due to my clumsiness, not the razor itself. Overall very pleased with the product and not looking like a yeti thanks to it.

I don't normally write reviews, but felt this razor deserves one.So i purchased the "shave it" 6 blade razor with 4 blades. Price wise , it was good value for money (£7.99).I opted against the subscription option in case i wasn't satisfied.On opening, the first thing that i noticed was that the handled looked very well made. It was also very well weighted.Using the razor confirmed that it felt very balanced. I thought that the 6 blades may have been a gimmick (going one more than leading brands), but it did not retract from the fact they give a really good, close shave ( very close) , with no nicks or cuts. and minimal razor burn.All in all, very surprised yet very satisfied.The only downsides ,that if rectified, would make this razor , a cut above the rest( apologies for the pun) ...The handle could do with a rubber/silicone insert or handle. the black gloss looks good but is a tad slippery when wet.Finally, the 6 blade cartridges could be its Achilles Heel. When shaving long stubble, the blades get clogged easily. I got over this small issue by using a silicone strop.So to close, this razor and blades isn't quite as comfortable a shave as a "Gillete Proglide", but its not far off it. The cost of blades however, makes it a far more viable option.I will be ordering more blades in the future. I'm sold.

I rarely shave, so since I bought it three years ago it is still in good working condition.My wife once ran out of her blades, and told this one was better than hers, so maybe wrongly marketed LOL

Excellent for travelling also. Perfekt för resan. Lots better than all the others I've used and tested over the years. Only problem now is the blade supply. I usually purchase at least a pack of blades a month and some of my friends and family do that too. But now can't find them. Amazon says "out of stock".

Très exigeant en matière de rasage j'ai testé la plupart des marques et modèles existants sans jamais être totalement satisfait.Amazon nous propose un "Shave It", à des prix très attractifs, et qui, outre un look rétro très sympa, permet un rasage parfait et en douceur.Très franchement, à ce prix, il serait dommage de ne pas l'essayer.Je ne parlerai pas ici de technique mais de mon ressenti.Vous serez comme moi : surpris … et séduit!

Tengo la piel muy sensible y escasa barba. Siempre he tenido que comprsr las Gillette Fusion o ProGlide de 5 hojas, para evitar irritaciones.Lleva 6 hojas en vez de 5 y la de precision, afeita de maravilla y el coste, tanto del mango como de los recambios es inmejorable.

Premettendo che il rasoio più adatto per sé ha molti aspetti di soggettività, come pelle, tipo di barba, schiuma usata e manualità, sto provando questo rasoio e sono molto soddisfatto soprattutto perché non irrita la pelle e per la durata della lametta.Provengo dal Gillette Fusion Proglide Power e ho anche usato un rasoio double edge con diverse lame. Usando la stessa schiuma da barba, Gillette Fusion, riesco ad avere la stessa profondità di rasatura, ma lo trovo certamente più delicato in particolare sul collo: è nettamente il rasoio che mi lascia meno irritazioni. Non mi manca assolutamente la vibrazione del Gillette. Altro aspetto molto positivo, ma mi riservo eventualmente di aggiornare la recensione quando comprerò le ricariche, è la durata della lama (da 6 lame): sto usando ancora la prima lametta e ho perso il conto delle rasature! Dovrebbero essere intorno alla decina, per ora, e non ho ancora intravedo la necessità di sostituirla, in più il decadimento mi pare molto lento. Con i Gillette non mi pare di aver mai superato le 10 rasature, ma certamente il comfort di rasatura decade più rapidamente. È anche più economico del Gillette, forse non lo sarà rispetto alle lamette double edge: è da vedere la durata effettiva di ciascuna lama.Se conferma queste caratteristiche anche con le ricariche, penso diventerà il mio rasoio principale.

Seit einiger Zeit vertreibt Amazon eine Eigenmarke für Nassrasierer: "Shave It"; diese gibt es in drei verschiedenen Stufen/Qualitäten:*Shave It Value, 3-Klingen-Rasierer*Shave It Pro, 5-Klingen-Rasierer*Shave It Grand, 6-Klingen-Rasierer.Ich habe die günstigste (Value) und die teuerste Variante (Grand) getestet sowie den Preis verglichen. Am Ende komme ich auch auf einen Vergleich mit den Markenprodukten von Gilettte ("Fusion 5") und Wilkinson ("Sword Hydro 5").***Rasierer***Der "Shave It Value" ist ein einfach gehaltener, leichter und stabiler 3-Klingen-Rasierer. Die Verarbeitung ist mittelprächtig, das Wechseln der Klingen einfach; dafür gibt es an der Rückseite einen Auswurfschalter (der die Klinge quasi aus dem Gerät katapultiert...). Es ist nicht möglich, die Klingen falsch zu montieren. Die Klingen sind an einem vertikalen Gelenk flexibel. Obwohl der Rasierer fast zu leicht ist, liegt er relativ gut in der Hand. Die Kunststoff-Griff hätte ein paar Zentimeter längerer ausfallen können.Der "Shave It Grand" ist ein 6-Klingen-Rasierer aus Metall, der etwas länger und deutlich besser verarbeitet und stabiler ausfällt als der "Value". Das Wechseln der Klingen ist sehr leicht per Auswurfschalter an der Rückseite. Es ist auch hier nicht möglich, die Klingen falsch zu montieren. Die Klingen sind an einem vertikalen Gelenk flexibel. Der Rasierer hat fast optimale Abmessungen und Gewicht und liegt perfekt in der Hand.***Klingen und Rasurergebnis***Der Shave It Value macht seinen Job; dabei ist das 3-Klingen-System etwas rauh und führt auch erst nach mehrmaligem "Drüber-Rasieren" zum gewünschten Ergebnis. Auch die Haltbarkeit war nicht optimal, d.h. nach 3 Tagen mit 3 Rasueren musste die Klinge gewechselt werden. Mehrfach kam es vor, dass ich mich am Kinn geschnitten habe. Hier sieht es so aus, dass die Klingen aus günstigem Material bestehen und auch nicht wirklich so scharf sind wie die Konkurrenz...Der Shave It Grand macht seine Arbeit deutlich besser als der Value: schon bei der ersten Rasur erfasst er fast alle Haare (auch bei 3-Tages-Länge). Er gleitet auch deutlich besser über die Gesichtshaut, was wohl an dem 6-Klingen-System liegen muss, das offenbar aus hochwertigem Material besteht: auch nach 5 Tagen sind die Klingen noch scharf. Geschnitten habe ich mich mit dem Grand gar nicht.***Preisvergleich Value/Grand sowie Gilette und Wilkinson***Der Value kostet mit 4 Klingen 4,99€; 8 Klingen kosten 8,99€ (1,12€ pro Klinge), 12 nur 10,99€ (0,92€/Klingen); das ist günstig, aber bei der mäßigen Qualität und Haltbarkeit leider keine Empfehlung wert!Der Grand kostet mit 4 Klingen 6,99€; 8 Klingen kosten 14,99€ (1,87€ pro Klinge); das ist deutlich teurer als beim Value, aber aufgrund der höheren Qualität und Haltbarkeit sowie wegen des klar besseren Rasur-Ergebnisses die Empfehlung des Tests (zusammen mit dem Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5, siehe unten).Der Marktführer "Gilettte" verlangt für den "Fusion 5 ProGlide" als Grundgerät mit einer Klinge happige 9,55€. Acht Klingen kosten 24,95€ (3,12€ pro Klinge). Das ist deutlich zu teuer! Die "Pro Glide Power"-Klingen sind noch einmal 10EUR teurer...Beim Markennbieter "Wilkinson" kostet der "Sword Hydro 5"-Rasierer mit einer Rasierklinge 5,95€; das Acht-Klingen-Pack liegt bei 14,95€ (1,86€ pro Klinge) und damit gleichauf mit dem "Shave It Grand".FAZIT: Der "Shave It Grand" ist ein hochwertiger 6-Klingen-Rasierer, der qualitativ gleichauf mit der Markenkonkurrenz liegt => EMPFEHLUNG!
