Amazon Basics 3-Blade Motion Sphere Razor for Men with Dual Lubrication, Pivoting Head for Comfortable Shave, Handle & 20 Cartridges, 21 Piece Set, Black (Previously Solimo)

These razors are a very good deal. At about 60 cents per razor, it is shockingly cheaper than my previous razor the Mach 3 at $2.20 per razor. But as expected, the quality in some ways is not as good, but also better in another way. When I first made the switch, I thought I made a mistake. Whereas the Mach 3 was a simple process of passing over my face, the Amazon 3-Blade would require multiple passes. For some reason, the Amazon blade would miss spots. It felt like there was something seriously wrong with the Amazon blade. But I kept using it since, well, I bought it so let's try to get some use out of it. After a few months of continuous use (I shave every three days), it started to feel more natural. And the funny thing was that the Amazon blades stay sharp a lot longer than the Mach 3 blades. I know "lot longer" is a vague term, but it feels like it last twice as long, but I'm not really counting the days. It just feels that way. Anyway, I got used to shaving with the Amazon 3-Blade. I don't notice that it takes much longer than the Mach 3, and my face feels smooth enough. And given that it is almost 4 times cheaper and lasts twice as long as the Mach 3, I see no reason to go back to the Mach 3. I don't know what you call it when at first it seems like a total failure, but by just using it for a month or so, it ends up feeling natural and functional. Maybe give it a chance. Expect it to feel different than your normal razor. In the end, it will get the job done and feel good enough.

Let me start by saying I've been a loyal user of Amazon razors for years, and they've been my go-to choice for a reason. The 5-blade razors, in particular, have been my holy grail, providing the smoothest, most comfortable shave I've ever experienced. Each replacement head lasts me well over a month, even with daily touch-ups and every other day shaving. I couldn't ask for more in terms of quality and longevity. A Slip in Attention: However, this time, I admit I didn't pay close attention while ordering, and I ended up with the 3-blade version instead of my beloved 5-blade razors. It was a classic case of my own oversight, and I'm kicking myself for not reading the listing more carefully. The 3-blade razors, while undoubtedly functional, just don't match the smoothness and precision I'm used to with the 5-blade razors. Personal Preference: I want to be clear; my slightly lower rating is purely due to my personal preference. The 3-blade razors are not bad by any means; they just don't align with my shaving habits and skin sensitivity as well as the 5-blade ones do. I find them a bit rougher on my skin, which is something I hadn't experienced with the 5-blade version. A Note to Fellow Shavers: So, here's a friendly reminder for fellow shavers: make sure to double-check the specifications and choose the razor that suits your preference best. Whether you're a fan of 3 blades or 5, Amazon razors are undeniably top-notch in terms of quality, sharpness, and durability. It's just a matter of what works best for your skin and shaving routine. Conclusion: In conclusion, Amazon razors are fantastic, and my experience with the 3-blade version hasn't changed that. While I might have a temporary mismatch in my shaving routine, I can confidently say that these razors, regardless of the blade count, are worth the investment. So, whether you're a meticulous reader like me or occasionally overlook details, rest assured that Amazon razors deliver quality, even if you accidentally end up with a version that doesn't align perfectly with your preferences. Here's to smooth shaving, no matter the blade count!

Cannot complain with the value you get here. The number of blades you get is great. No skin irritation, clean shave. The length is just right too. I wouldn’t say the quality is the best but for the money, hard to beat.

Summary: Easy to use, good quality, close shave, blades last a long time, but has a large head. Let me start by saying that I often go for long periods of time where I only shave every other day. I am used to my expensive 5 head razers lasting 3 weeks to a month. I have used Gillette, Schick and Harry in the past. I have liked them all equally depending on the blade model that I buy. I bought this pack with 2 of the 5 blades, but then bought 3 blade replacement pack because I never felt like I got a closer shave with my Gillette when it went from 3 blades to 5. It just got more expensive. This razer handle is about the same as others. Weight, angle, etc. It's comfortable and easy to use just as the all are. But the head does seem to swivel better in more directions. It gives a very close shave and although I have sensitive skin, it glides nicely and does not leave razor burn. The surprising thing...... It is now exactly 2 months since I bought it and I have not been able to try the 3 blade refills because I'm still using the first 5 blade head that came with the handle. It came with 2. So it will be at least another 2 months before I will be able to try and review the 3 blade version. The only negative for me is that they are very large. There is a large area around the blades. I have had some other brands models that do this too. It's like a swiffer, and makes it a bit difficult to make clean lines at the sideburns and get under the nose. I'm not sure why they do this. But it still shaves like a dream and last such a long time that it makes the already good value even better. Some men throw their razers around or stick them in with toothbrushes and other thing where the blades get banged up. I always lay mine flat, blades up and very well cared for. But these really do seem to last longer than the other brands.

Extremely good quality and durability. I shave almost daily and i have a tougher beard than most people. The first blade lasted about 5 months!

Nice razor blades. I like the three blades vs. the five blades. The blades don't get clogged up if you're not shaving every day (which not many of us men do anymore). I really like them!
