My Switch to Safety Razors and Why You Should Too
I've been using cartridge razors for as long as I can remember, and I've always hated the whole shaving routine. I found myself spending a small fortune on cartridges from various big brands but was never truly satisfied with the results.Frustrated with the constant expense, I stumbled upon 'Safety Razors' by chance. Initially, I was hesitant due to horror stories about deep cuts and my own doubts about using them safely.If you share these concerns, don't worry. Safety razors are actually quite safe, and I haven't cut myself at all. If you're nervous, watch a tutorial, take your time, and enjoy the process. I went all in and bought a package set that included a brush, foam, and soap to find what I preferred, and so far, I’m not disappointed. In fact, I’m actually enjoying shaving for the first time.Shaving with a safety razor doesn't cause pulling or skin irritation, and I feel great afterward—something I've been missing for years! Plus, the razors are genuinely beautiful to look at, and I let the weight of the handle do all the work.I highly recommend safety razors, especially the King C Gillette, which I’m using. The handle has a lovely weight, is well-made, and looks expensive!Take the plunge and help reduce plastic waste. A pack of 100 razors costs less than £10 and will last about 12 months.

Great quality shave for a low budget
Was after another manual shaver, and something that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to maintain.The razor has a nice weight to it and feels comfortable to hold and 5 blades included in the box.Blades are easy to add/remove to the razor and have a quality feel about them.I used the razor with a Bulldog clear shave gel which helped to reduce any friction and irritation.The cut was perfect on the initial pass removing stubble 2mm-3mm thick, shaving continued with lots of small passes.Only a couple of minor nicks from not having used a double edge razor previously, but the quality of the shave has pleased me greatly.Value for money I don't think I'd do much better to find something of this quality cheaper, and in the long run will save a considerable amount on paying nearly £14 for a pack of 8 blades vs half that for 100 from well known brands.

Mild shaving, good quality, easy to use.
This is on the heavy side and easy to control. I have used it for 6 months now and rarely cut myself. The only down side is a slightly less close shave and the need to use it more often than some

A great all round safety razor
The item arrived packaged well as always. The safety razor is good quality and gives a very close shave. It does come with blades to get you started. The handles is long and comfortable and I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to save money on shaving.

For quick shave
Well packaged, in the box is a shiny razor and some razor blades.The razor itself is of reasonable weight, well made. There are 3 pieces and the top two disassemble from the handle. Thinking about it would have preferred a butterfly style.It does need to be given a rinse in water whilst shaving because it does get clogged up.This is a great razor for a quick and a reasonably close shave. Having said that, it's probably impossible to nick or cut yourself with this razor.Id say it is a mild to medium aggressive shave.Overall for the discounted price of £13 it's a bargain. Would recommend even at it's full price.

Good for Quick shave, Not so for a full shave
Nice quality razor for a quick shave, however, I felt and saw that even after 2 passes the razors just were not removing all the hairs down to as small as I wanted for a full clean shave but I will give this another go before deciding my final review.

Amazing buy, amazing quality.
Long-Term Review of the KCG Razor(Edit: it's been roughly 6 months? Now and my opinions haven't changed, something I added to my routine is cleaning the razor with isopropyl alcohol or nail Polish for about 5 mins before shaving, it stopped me from getting razor bumps and white heads.)The blades I received were surprisingly good, even though they're from China. I believe I either lucked out with a good batch or the quality control has improved significantly. In the past, when using my old razors, I used to experience razor bumps and ingrown hairs. However, with the KCG razor, I've only encountered 1 or 2, which disappear within about 2 days. This is a significant improvement for my sensitive skin.The weight of the blade is exceptional; it's neither too heavy nor too light. It's the perfect weight for a comfortable shave. It provides just enough pressure due to its own weight, making shaving easy, but it's not so heavy that it becomes cumbersome. As a beginner using a blade for shaving, I've only cut myself once in the ten times I've shaved so far, and that was in a single spot. This is a remarkable improvement compared to the frequent cuts I used to get with low-quality disposable razors.I'm currently on my 10th shave with the same blade (having used it 8 times on one side), and I feel like I can still get more uses out of it.Considering that I only paid £10 (got it on sale) and how well it has performed so far, I believe this razor could last me a lifetime with moderate care. I store it away from the sink, and it remains clean, shiny, smooth, and meets all my shaving needs.

Good close shave
An effortless shave. Takes some getting used to just remember that 30 degrees angle. Good weight to it and spare razors too. Defo worth the price. I use to keep my beard shape in check and very satisfied with results.
