Bambaw Double Edge Razor Men, Metal Safety Razors for Men, Manual Shaving for a Close Shave with Non-Slip Handle, Suitable for All Skin Types, Smooth Shave, No Blade Included (Black)

I've always used cartridge based razers like Gillette but I figured I'd try a safety razor for a change. After the first shave I am already very impressed by both the shave, how easy it is to use and the affordability. Not only are the blades easy to swap and clean when compared to cartridges, they are incredibly cheap. You can get a box of a 100 for a just a few quid online and save yourself a lot of dosh. The Gillette and Wilkinson's cartridge brands are good, no doubt, but they are expensive and cannot be recycled and end up just filling up landfills. The blades I've used for this are both cheaper, easier to clean and give a clean cut that easily rivals your common razor brand. It is incredible. The weight of the razor is not too heavy, but the material used gives it a heftiness that makes it feel premium despite the affordable price point. It comes with 5 blades which should last you a while. It also may take a shave or two to adjust to the razor, especially how much pressure you need to exert to shave. I recommend a wet shave if you have coarse facial hair with a considerable dollop of shaving foam for the first go or so, primarily to get used to how much friction you need to apply to shave. I only nicked myself once on my first go, so if you're patient and consider yourself a decent shaver with a steady hand, you should be absolutely fine. While the blades aren't particularly sharp or painful to use, they can still give you a nasty cut if you're not careful. The blades are also easy to replace too, you just twist the head of the razor off and insert the blade, twist it back on and voila. I can't sing this products praise more. I regret not buying one years ago.

I have never used a safety razor before, but I was looking into a more eco-friendly way of shaving when I found the bambaw safety razor. I was very worried about ordering it as I am afraid of cuts - I am the person that cuts themself ALL. THE. TIME. However, I didn't cut myself despite being an absolute safety razor newbie, and I was surprised by the quality of the razor! The razor came in nice eco-friendly packaging and was easy to put together. I chose the rose-gold coloured razor with the stand, which stands very solid on my slightly lopsided and wet shower shelf. It's quite heavy, and the manual discourages from using pressure on the razor while using it, which really isn't needed because the razor does have the perfect weight to glide over your skin (although it can be a bit tiring if you're veeeery careful and take your time). The razor is perfect for shaving the armpits and even some of the more intimate areas. It was a bit more difficult on the legs, but I'm quite blind without my glasses, so shaving those is always a bit of a challenge. I have extremely sensitive skin (due to psoriasis) and was amazed at how neat and smooth the razor shaves. It is a bit complicated over more difficult areas (like the back of the knee or the ankle), but that should become easier with practice. I was only dissatisfied with my right leg, where the skin was quite irritated after the shave - however, I've been using a pretty blunt plastic razor up until now and had quite some ingrown hairs, so this might just be the usual first-time reaction my sensitive skin is very prone for. Very happy with this order!

The blade is a smooth shave however it isn't entirely as advertised, it's not perfectly weighted as mentioned being more top heavy and the grip can often be slippery in the shower often resulting in me dropping the razor. It also doesn't prevent ingrown hairs at all and on more awkward areas of the body I often find I cut myself more compared to a disposable or Guillette razor and those cuts bleed a lot and for a while. I'm honestly too afraid to use this on more intimate areas now as it has a tendency to miss areas or cut even when using a light pass over. Although I do appreciate that I don't have to change the blades as often, you do have to be very careful changing the blades to avoid cutting yourself very badly and I find I still have to use a disposable razor anyway on some areas.

Easy to use and it feels very sturdy. Also it doesn’t leave any razor bumps which is exactly what I was looking for.

This double sided razor is fab. Iv had it since September so thought I’d give it some time before a review. I’m now just buying a new blade for it so thought I’d do the review! I would of gone through packets of razor blades by now but this one is just starting to need replacing. And for a fraction of the cost of plastic blades £8.50 for 100 blades! When I got this razor I was unsure if the change after reading reviews of people cutting themselves and finding the razor heavy. Yes the razor is heavier then a plastics one but there is a reason for this. My first bit of advice is to watch a couple of YouTube videos of woman using the razor as there is a slight nack but don’t he put of as it’s extremely easy and the videos are short. This will prevent you from cutting yourself like others. Second, if you watch the videos you will realise the razor is heavy so you don’t need to apply pressure like you do with a plastic razor. This is how you get cut. The razor just glides and it’s fab. The first couple of times it took me a fraction longer as I was scared to cut myself but you soon find your own way and now I’m just as quick. I still shave in the shower like before and I still don’t use soap or shaving gels. I haven’t for years as the don’t agree with my skin. I thought I was going to have to using this type of razor but I still don’t. I will never go back to the plastic razors I love this metal one it’s fab. My hair growth has definitely changed too, my hair isn’t as thick or as course coming thing and I can get away with shaving less through these winter months then I could before. I used to find my leg hair would irritate me after a couple of days but since using this razor it’s softer and I don’t notice it as much. If you use this razor right you will not be disappointed.

I bought this rose gold Bambaw razor for my eldest daughter as I wanted something safe and better quality than disposables. She’s been using it for a while now, and it’s held up brilliantly. It feels really solid in the hand and much sturdier than plastic razors, so I know it will last a long time. It doesn’t come with blades, but standard safety razor blades fit perfectly and are easy to find. Once fitted, it gives a really smooth shave without irritation or ingrown hairs, which makes it ideal for sensitive skin. The fact it’s also eco-friendly is a huge bonus, no more throwing away plastic cartridges, just swapping out recyclable blades. It looks lovely, works brilliantly, and is far more sustainable and cost effective in the long run.

It broke after falling from a meter height in the shower, 1 year after purchase. I have emailed the company directly and I haven’t received a reply back. Avoid!!!

This has been a brilliant razor. I brought it about two years ago. My only issue is that it claims to last a lifetime but I found, what I believe to be corrosion (blue / green rust) where the blade is. This could be due to me leaving it damp for periods of time as I travel or perhaps as I use almond oil for shaving.

Passt auch für Brooklyn Soap Rasierhobel sehr gut.

I have had this for over a year now, it has held up very well. You can use any standard blades when you run out of the ones that are provided. I find that this razor has prevented strawberry skin and is very easy to use as long as you are careful

Cercavo un'alternativa più ecosostenibile ai rasoi in plastica e questo è perfetto Ottimi materiali, ben fatto, facile da usare e da pulire. Arrivato ben imballato. Avevo già acquistato altri prodotti di questa marca e anche con questo mi sono trovata benissimo. Fin dal primo utilizzo nessun problema e mai nemmeno un taglietto. Lo uso essenzialmente per le ascelle e per un ritocco veloce alle gambe ogni tanto quando non ho tempo di usare l'epilatore elettrico quindi con la ricarica da 60 lamette probabilmente starò a posto per un decennio quindi anche un super risparmio!

Bra fungerande rakhyvel, när man kommit underfund med hur man ska göra. Lite ovant med hyvel med lösa blad.

Très bel objet bien fabriqué. Malheureusement, mon rasoir est tout juste trop gros pour rentrer dans le trou. J'ai donc du le retourner.
