Kitsch Double Edge Safety Razors for Women and Men, Long Metal Handle and Stainless Steel Single Blade Razor with 5 Double Edge Refills, for Shaving and Travel Essentials - Terracotta

I never received this item (missing item in package) so I bought it off the actual kitsch site and it is different from other regular 5 blade razors (obviously). It does shave smooth I've never shaved with a straight blade like this so I have to get used to it and keep trying to get the hang of it. Even with that said it does shave smooth when held correctly. I haven't knicked my legs per say but I've felt I put too much pressure and it felt like a razor burn yet I didn't have any razor burn if that makes sense. So it is a 5 star razor. If you're a newbie like me with this kind it'll take some time getting used to not using so much pressure and shorter strokes. It does make my skin feel smoother its a really close shave. Definitely still recommend!

I have tried every hair removal system out there and all of them still gave me razor burn. I have used a single blade razor back in the day but they have become hard to find. This one gave me the smoothest longest lasting shave without the razor burn.

I’ve used this razor at least a dozen times now and feel I can give it a proper review.First, there’s a learning curve. I cut myself more the first time I used it than I could remember. I was kind of shocked since it rarely happened prior to the razor. Keep using it, you’ll get the hang of it.Pros: I like that the handle is longer for a safety razor. I like the color and the silicone safety cap. It gives a very close shave and I think I am shaving less now because of how close it is.Cons: the handle is heavy because it is metal. I like that it’s weighty, but it puts my hand to sleep after a while. I wish it also had a nonslip strip or something to help you keep ahold of it. I feel like the blade sticks out kind of far. My husband has a safety razor and his is not out as much. He even remarked about it.Overall, I like that it’s more sustainable, a very close (sometimes too close 🩸) shave in a fun color with a long handle. I’m going to keep using it and maybe wrap a rubber band or something on the handle.

This razor should not be marketed as a product for women, and I don’t see how it is even useful for men. Since the reviews indicated there is a learning curve, I continued to use the razor for a few weeks. I cut myself pretty badly the first time, and the number of nicks decreased over time, but I still generally experience at least one minor cut each time. The weighted razor requires a feather-light stroke, and short strokes on knees and ankles. I would give it more time, but the need for frequent replacement of blades does not make it worthwhile, and this does not provide the promised close shave. It also takes much longer to shave. This would be fine if the razor allowed a close shave with a lower risk of cuts. Not worth it!Although I was unable to use this product, customer service was very responsive to my concerns. I would definitely purchase from this vendor again.

Hands down this is the best razor I’ve used! Especially with my kitsch shave butter!

This is a perfect example of why sustainable companies often fail to gain market share: they take pains to make a product that is better for our health and the environment, while sacrificing basic aspects that make the product worth buying. This razor is not made of plastic and contains no PFAS--yet, the razor itself sucks. It's an unreasonable trade off. There is ONE other brand that looks to have a more "normal" design and is also sustainable/PFAS free, so I'm going to return this and order that one. Fingers crossed. Why does this product suck? 1) You have to put it together yourself with a straight razor, which is sketchy and risks injury, but that alone would be an acceptable trade off to avoid PFAS. However...2) YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE BLADE EVERY SINGLE DAY. Who has time for that?! 3) AND it causes razor burn and/or bleeding almost every shave. So forget this thing.

Happy with my purchase.

Nice heavy razor and what i was looking for. Blades are cheap
