BambawSafety Razor for Men with 5 Double Edge Safety Razor Blades, Safety Razors for Men, Sustainable Metal Razor, Zero Waste - BlackClimatePartner certified

Cannot speak highly enough of this single blade razor!!! It has truly been a game changer!! I have always had super sensitive skin and have battled ingrowns for years! I’ve tried every method of hair removal short of permanent laser hair removal and this is the only one that has worked long-term. I did my research on ingrown hair and realized that my typical shaving routine was causing them as my multi-blade razor was cutting the hair below the surface of the skin. I have had zero ingrown hairs since I started using it, and the ingrown hairs that I had from before are starting to go away now! And yes, I tested it, it’s even gentle enough to use down there ladies!! Just be extra careful if you’re using a brand new sharp blade!I’ve found there’s a little bit of a learning curve when you first start using it, as the angle you need to hold the razor at and the amount of pressure you use (none) are just different than a typical disposable razor. I’ve found it actually gets easier to use as the blade gets more dull, which is the opposite of what happens with typical razor blades! It actually does shave better in a lot of areas if you go with the grain of your hair. Make sure you read the directions before using for the first time as that was super helpful! The only thing I strayed from the directions on is I don’t use shaving cream and instead just use conditioner, as I always have, because it just works better. I am actually even able to just use soap or water sometimes now as the blade has dulled, which I would’ve never been able to do before without getting massive razor burn!! And I can tell that this blade is going to last a really long time, like they say it will!! So far, one blade has already lasted me as long as it would’ve taken me to go through two typical blade replacement heads for a normal multi-blade razor, and this blade is showing no signs of needing to be replaced any time soon! This has truly been one of the best investments I’ve made in my beauty routine for a while! Not to mention all the money this will save me in the long run with the replacement blades being as cheap as they are!! You need this razor in your life!!!

As a black man with sensitive skin and curly hair, when I started going bald, I had to use electric clippers to shave my head down as low as I could. I couldn’t use a razor because it cut too close and the first and last time I used a razor it gave me really bad ingrown hairs and bumps. I had to go to urgent care and they prescribed me steroids to fix the issue. 1 year later, I took a chance with this single blade razor and 4 days after using it for the first time, I ran to the reviews to tell you that this is the one! Compared to multi-blade razors that pull the hair up and cut, resulting in the hair going back into the skin, this was 100% different. The shave was close but not too close to give bumps or ingrown hairs. Be careful holding and using the shaver if it’s your first time but you will get used to it quickly. I did during the first try. I have a smooth shave, no irritation, bumps and no ingrown hairs and I’m really happy about that. Also prep well: I use warm water on my head to get it ready, I use “Gillette Pure” shaving cream for sensitive skin and after, I use “Nivea sensitive post shave balm”. That’s the formula that works for me.

This was my first experience with a safety razor. I took the plunge after dealing with junk cheap disposable multi-blade razors that clogged up and since I don't shave regularly, a single blade seemed to be less likely to get clogged. Yes, it works the way I imagined it. It's got a decent heft to it, takes any regular double-edged safety blade, and I'll get used to shaving with it eventually.I think for the price and what it does, it's definitely a good razor. Note that you should probably (depending on your beard) get 3-5 shaves on a blade (if it tugs, swap it). And then, of course, blades are cost effective in bulk. My rating is based upon quality of the unit, and does it do the job for the price. It's 5 stars for exactly what it is and what it states to do.If you're thinking about this razor as an entry to the world of safety razors, I wouldn't necessarily dissuade you from it, but I'd personally seriously consider a top-loading "butterfly" razor instead of this puzzle razor. No, it's not a complicated assembly, but it is an assembly versus an open the top, plop in a blade, and close the top of certain other styles.
