Astonishingly Superior Tortoise Shell (Horn) Razor Kit (Packaging May Vary)

I've had my Cremo razor almost a month, and during that time I've compared it to my Mach 3 and my Harry's razors. The Cremo wins by far. They advertise it as giving you a barbershop quality shave and that is exactly what it does. It shaves very close but at the same time very smoith and comfortable without any drag. I think the pools of Cremo shave cream embedded into the lube strip are what makes the difference. It's a good weight and you don't have to go over areas a lot to get it closer. The tortoise shell handle adds a nice vintage look. I highly recommend it.

I typically like safety razors because they are cheap and cut well. However, I prefer to use cartridge razors because they are easier to use. My problem with cartridge razors is that I find they pull my facial hair just as before they cut it. This makes them uncomfortable to use and I have to do a lop of prep to make sure my facial hair is sufficiently soft and ready to be shaved. This razor, for me at least, is the best cartridge razor I have used and I use it more frequently than my safety razor. I can quickly shave my face with minimal prep and it doesnt pull my beard. In fact, its so gentle that I have stopped using alcohol-based aftershaves because I no longer need them to dull the burn after a shave. I get a really fantastic shave with just one pass and I can even shave against the grain without getting ingrown hairs. I've tried many different cartridge razors including all the gimicky ones from gillette. The Cremo razor is the best cartridge razor I have ever owned and I highly recommend it.

Update: I upgraded my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. I did not like the size of the head when shaving in close areas like under my nose. I failed to realize that the top of the blade is hinged and can be swung out of the way letting you get super close. My bad. I'm an unwavering M3 customer since it's release. I have been drifting towards Cremo shampoo, soap and body wash. I figured I'd try the Cremo Schick blade. The blade quality is truly barbershop quality. So close of a shave and zero nicks or shave burn on my neck. I shave in the shower and have only 2 complaints. The handle is very slippery when wet. You have to pinch near the head to hold. My other complaint is the size of the head. It's like shaving with a push broom. You can't shave under your nose. But still so good that I'll buy it again.

Love these razors, always a clean shave. Would have been a 5 star if the handle was ruberized to prevent slipping

Love this razor. I foolishly had a monthly subscription to one of the popular razor companies. This razor FAR exceeds that in performance, looks, feel, and cost. The tortoise shell handle is so cool looking. I bought one of those small holders for it and it looks great on sink. The replacement cartridges last forever and shave close and cleanly. So glad I bought this.

Smoothest shave I ever had. Beats Harry’s, and the other brands . The razor itself is nice looking also

Fairly grippy handle, sharp blades, and innovative fold-away top strip to make it easier to get under your nose or trim sideburns. Refills are reasonably cheap and a lot of bang for the buck. I've tried several big name discount brands and none of them come close to these blades. Best compromise I've found between the top-tier extremely expensive refills and the $.99 junk blades, with performance equaling the most expensive blades. UPDATE May 2024: The refills have jumped up considerably in price - now between $3-4 each. Nothing here justifies being more expensive than Gillette's grossly overpriced cartridges.

I'm really on the fence about this one. I love the classic tortoiseshell and metal look, it's hard to find affordable disposable blade razors like this in general. Just for reference, I am a woman, but generally dislike the typical razors designed and marketed to women and/or female-identifying since they are usually plastic and not very aesthetically pleasing. I think this one was designed more for shaving faces than armpits and legs, so there is no curve to the handle, and the handle is slippery when wet with no texture. I bought this knowing it was not really designed with my shaving needs in mind simply because I liked its appearance. The first one I by this brand (transparent silver) quickly filled with water, and it was before I realised it could be unscrewed and emptied, so I threw it out because it looked gross. I did not use that one long enough to tell if I really liked it. This (tortoiseshell) one is better looking anyway and if water gets into the handle, it is not really noticeable. Unfortunately I have had razor burn and in-grown hairs appear with much greater frequency than with other razors in the past, and I don't know if this is just a coincidence. I am not doing anything else differently, so I don't know what else it could be. Although I do have sensitive skin, I've never had this much irritation shaving. Pros: Attractive unisex design Not too expensive Cons: Not ergonomically designed for women/anyone who shaves legs/armpits Difficult to grip when wet May have caused skin irritation Overall, I will keep it for the moment, but may go back to using Oui the People weighted safety razors, even though it is more time consuming for me to use that type. Those are beautiful too- although a lot more expensive. Oui razors are apparently designed for any gender and for various body parts- so that may be the superior aesthetically pleasing razor in the end, I'm not sure. I will keep an open mind regarding Cremo, but in my opinion not ideal for sensitive skin or shaving legs.

great shave but time will tell and excellent delivery

Very nice razor. Love the flipback top on the blades. Didn't even realize they did that until just week, several months later lol

I bought this razor because I liked the tortoise shell handle, being a bit of a retro fan. Didn’t really think much about function. I’ve been shaving for 75 years, I’ve tried just about every model. This razor gives me the easiest, smoothest shave I can remember - and I like the handle!

Husband loves it

Really smooth shave and the tortoise shell handle gives the razor a nice quality touch
