Cremo 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

Love this. Excellent hand-feel and balance. Blades last a ridiculously long time. Note: the handle is not solid - it is a tube with a metal brand label within it. Feels solid, though - like you would expect an heirloom razor to feel -- but with killer-sharp blades!

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.

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!

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

It's a nice handle for Wilkinson Sword blades, which I think around the best
