The Cremo Tortoiseshell Razor, now available for £15.96 with the discount code CREMO20, is being hailed by shoppers as a 'superior' alternative to high-street razors, with one customer saying 'once you've tried it, there's no going back'. The razor, which normally retails at £19.95, promises a professional barber-quality shave at home, and the 20 per cent discount is valid until October 2.
Each cartridge of the Tortoiseshell Razor is equipped with five durable blades, three layers of comfort coating, a coated guard bar, and lubricating pools infused with Cremo's Shave Cream formula. The weighted handle is engineered to minimise nicks and razor burn, while the coated guard bar reduces friction and irritation, according to the brand, as reported by Daily Star. A pull-back trimmer allows for precise edging and shaping, including tricky areas such as beneath the nose.
Shopper Reviews: 'The Most Comfortable Razor I've Ever Used'
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One shopper remarked: "I bought the Cremo 'Barber Grade' tortoiseshell razor with an extra refill, 4 cartridges, Post Shaving Balm and Palo Santo Body Wash as a present to myself. The razor is certainly the most comfortable razor I've ever used. It is really good quality. Once you've tried it there's no going back."
Another customer commented: "Brilliant razor, far superior to anything available on the high street." A third buyer added: "They give you a clean, close, comfortable shave every time. Shaving with the Cremo blades and their shave creams are truly a wonderful experience. The Cremo barber grade razors and shave creams today. You'll be glad you did."
One long-time shaver said: "I bought this razor because I liked the tortoise shell handle. Didn't really think much about function. I've been shaving for 45 years, I've tried just about every model. . . . This razor gives me the easiest, smoothest shave I can remember - and I like the handle."
Mixed Feedback and Alternatives on the Market
However, not all reviews are glowing. One dissatisfied customer wrote: "I purchased this plus additional blades and after persevering for about 10 shaves it nicked my skin several times on each occasion. Reverting back to my Gillette Fusion." Another shopper, though, offered a contrasting view: "Have used this razor with the Cremo shave cream and I think it is excellent and a significant improvement over my previous Mach 3 turbo razor. Very smooth and close shave with no burn or irritation."
Cremo recommends pairing the razor with its Cooling Shave Cream, reduced from £10.95 to £8.76 with the CREMO20 code, and the Cooling Post Shave Balm, reduced from £12.95 to £10.36. Replacement cartridges are available as a set of four Cremo Barber Grade Razor Refills for £16.95.
For comparison, the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Ultimate Men's Razor at Boots retails at £18 and is recommended by 95 per cent of Boots shoppers who reviewed it. On Amazon, the Gillette Fusion 5 Razor for Men is currently reduced to £23 for a pack including 10 refills, featuring five anti-friction blades and a precision trimmer.
