I know this is for "men" but I wore out one of the razors and thought i would do a review on it! This stuff is amazing for shaving everything because the head is so flexible. I am allergic to certain shaving creams so sometimes I don't use any and with soap this glides over and I do not have any cuts or bumps. This helped me provide with the more smooth and easiest shave. Ladies do not be turned off cuz it is for men! It is way better than any womens razor that I've used!

I still prefer my Gillette Fusion, but this one is almost as good. It was on sale at CVS plus I had coupons and ECBs, so it was free. This one is heavier and bulkier than the Fusion, but it glides smoothly over my skin without any problems. Never cut myself, even without using shaving cream (usually I just use whatever body wash I have). I'd definitely repurchase.

This is my absolute favorite razor, and I have tried a lot of them! I went through a phase where I HAD TO HAVE female razors, because I was a female, and that phase was crushed when my campus was giving away these razors like candy (I actually went home with 4). I started using it as soon as I ran out of razors in my Schick intuition and I fell in love. I have never gotten as good of a shave as this razor gave me, and I almost ALWAYS got razor burn before I got the Schick Hydro 5. I actually recently upgraded to the Power Select version of this razor (the electric one) and I love it even more. I even have converted several of my friends and family members over to this razor!
The best part about this razor? How dirt cheap the blades are. I don't think I'll ever want to change razors.

I use men's Fusion for a couple years now and loved it but it's so freaking expensive. I am happy to have found this one. It gives me smooth and close shave. I use on legs, bikini and underarms. I really hope this shaver does not get phased out!! Oh and I LOVE the travel cover.

I thought this was a good razor at first, but when I found that my legs, underarms and bikini area had stubble only an hour (!!!) after shaving, I decided that there are much better products out there. I liked their idea of protecting the moisturizing bar (or Hydro strip) by covering it with a mesh, and it did help provide a smooth, nick-free shave. The razor was able to get a somewhat closer shave on my thighs than it could on my calves, which is the complete opposite of my experience with all other razors. I'm not sure it matters, since the "immediate stubble" problem is a deal breaker for me! The handle is pretty good - lots of rubberized surface so you won't drop it easily. I did find it to be a little bulky, but I have small hands and am used to the thinner handles of the razors I usually buy.

I love this razor. My intentions were to get this for my husband but after he raved about it, I had to try it. My husband has a very course, curly beard. His skin is thick yet he's prone to break-outs and folliculitis. He uses Kiss My Face shave cream for sensitve skin along with this razor and he rarely gets folliculitis now. He will get a 5 oclock shadow and this razor gets him a very close shave that now he's able to skip a day in between shaving.

I personally use this on my axiallry area and legs. Gets a nice, close shave and no break-outs, rashes or folliculitis. I can't comment on use for bikini area since I wax in that region.

Highly recommend this razor, very inexpensive plus it's always on sale at CVS.

I actually love this razor! I have very thick dark hair when it grows in, and this one does the job! I haven't experienced the cuts everyone is talking about, but since my hair is no joke, I always use shaving cream. I have been using EOS shave cream, but found that when i use the hydro cream that came with the razor, i got an amazing shave. i would buy this razor again, but only if the price were right. I feel like I get the same shave from my quattro vibration, and an even better from my venus embrace. I got this on sale at walmart (a package deal of razor & 6 cartridges) for $9. The major con is that the razor doesn't click on to the base, so it just sits there.

I didn't like this razor too much. Like others this was purchased on sale. My problem is that it doesn't really get a good shave, the Hydro strip is too far from the blades to give an even finish. And if you apply pressure to the razor, you will face the consequences, lots of cuts and regrets. I also hate the film it leaves during and after shaving, it's moisturizing but it's also gooey and adds to the above issues. I should probably give it a two, but I will give it three lippies because it does a decent job for a leg area.

I bought this because it was in a package that was on sale at Walmart (65% off!) but boy, now I know why they were trying to get rid of it.

I used this razor on my underarms and ended up getting the worst cuts of my life. It hurt so bad and I was bleeding all over! As for my legs...they're smooth but i missed some spots because i was so scared I was going to get cut again. I definitely wouldn't repurchase this or recommend to a friend.

PROS: Works well on my sensitive skin/eczema. Inexpensive. Does glide very smooth because of the gel-like strip.


CONS: Not the cheapest (but still less expensive than most.)
