Thanks for the honest review. I was tempted to purchase the razor 🪒. But! I think I'll stick with the hot towel and/or hot bowl of water. Keep the reviews coming looking forward to you possibly doing a Wilkinson Sword Razor review.🙏

A razor maybe worth a try is the Gillette SkinGuard, did give me a fine shave but works better with the tin goo, due to it having a useless lube strip. Cheers🍻🥃

Gillette Mach 3 is still my one and only that I've been using since the 90s. I've tried a few of the others, but the Mach 3 for me goes untouched.

I think shaving in the shower is enough to prepare the skin.A heated razor doesnt seen have time to prep the skin/hair-also 5 blades tends to jam up for me-3-4 blades seem to work better for me

I think you're right that the skin needs to be prepared and warm. Ideally a hot towel or shower. I use hot water from the sink. It is key to keep the blade hot too though - and their idea is silly because you have to rinse your blade anyway and hot water does the same as their heater. Totally agree - more blades = more clogging. Cheers for the comment !

I was looking for the best subscription razor and really like the Boldking. I love the Gillette Guard too. I think you're right though that I don't like many of the 5 blades so I don't use them. How do you find them?

Yes for sure. I use one quite often. The Muhle R89. Check out my video kzitem.info/news/bejne/r2ufwHdpcYWQqJw This channel started as a mission to find the best subscription razor but I'm going to review more shaving products now too I think. Thanks for the comment :-)

Hi ! I honestly wouldn't. Get him the exfoliating one or a decent single edge or some Geo Trumpers shaving cream in lime. I really think the heated is a gimmick

cold water shave is great for people with sensitive skin you don't get razor burns. you're the only reviewer that has said you can get the same effect of this razor by running a razor under hot water. its an over priced gimmick

Hi there. I am not sure to be honest. I used one for a week no problem. Then swapped it out. I'm not sticking with any single razor long enough to push the cartridges to their limits at the moment.

The big corporate manufacturers are driven by ever higher profits so need endless novelty to shift their products. I do use a vintage Sensor occasionally but mostly stick to my Edwin Jagger Diamond DE razor with Feather or Bic blades. Way cheaper than cartridge shaving and in a class if its own.

Yes - they have to keep people into the next greatest thing. Lots of marketing spin for sure. Old school are the best and cheapest for sure. The new single edge razors are finding a good middle ground I think. Thanks for your comment

Yes, I shave every day during the week but then sometimes leave it a day or 2 over the weekend. Not sure what you mean by grainy but I've never had any problems with my skin. I think the more you shave the more you get used to it probably.

Hi there. No. Putting cost aside it is really just a gimmick. I used it for a couple of weeks to review it but won't by choice now. The process of shaving involves rinsing your razor in water. If your water is hot then you'll barely notice a difference. It sounds cool which is why people are lured in. It also makes a good father's day present etc but I genuinely think you get a better shave with others eg the exfoliating
