£16 Razor Gives Smoothest Shave in 45 Years, Man Claims
£16 Razor Gives Smoothest Shave in 45 Years

A man with 45 years of shaving experience who claims to have tried nearly every razor model says he has discovered an 'astonishingly superior' barber-grade razor, now available for less than £16.

Limited-Time Discount on Cremo Razor

Cremo is offering 20% off their shaving range for a limited period. The Barber-Grade Razor, which includes an additional refill, usually costs £19.95 but can now be purchased for £15.96 using the code CREMOSHAVE. The offer applies to all shaving products on the Cremo website, including the Original Shaving Cream, Cooling Shaving Cream, and Post Shave Balm.

Exceptional Shaving Performance

The razor initially caught the attention of one long-time shaver due to its stylish tortoiseshell handle, but he was thrilled with its performance. He stated: 'I bought this razor because I liked the tortoise shell handle. Didn't really think much about the function. I've been shaving for 45 years, and I've tried just about every model. This razor gives me the easiest, smoothest shave I can remember - and I like the handle.' Another customer described it as 'the best razor I've ever used'.

Engineered for Comfort and Precision

Cremo's Tortoiseshell Razor is designed to combat irritation while delivering a close shave. It features a lubricating gel reservoir packed with skin-nourishing ingredients and five hardwearing steel blades with a coated guard bar that aligns skin and minimises friction. The weighted handle encourages proper balance, a firm grip, and greater control. An integrated pull-back trimmer enables precise edging and shaping for tricky areas such as beneath the nose.

One customer noted: 'Never had such a qualitative razor. No more irritation.' Another compared it favourably to other brands: '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.'

Comparison with Other Razors

While Cremo's razor is priced higher than some alternatives, such as the Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Razor at £10.50 (three-blade design) or the Harry's Original Core Shave Pack at £14, many users find the performance justifies the cost. For those seeking a complete shaving solution, the Cremo Original Shaving Cream is reduced to £8.76 with the discount, allowing shoppers to purchase both the razor and cream for under £25.

A reviewer described the shaving cream as 'first class' and noted: 'Cleaner with less mess than shave soap and brush. It leaves my face fresh with no nicks. For best results, finish with Cremo's post shave balm.' The Post Shave Balm is reduced from £12.95 to £10.36.

Some customers noted that the cream does not froth up, which may not suit those who prefer a lather. However, one user commented: 'I have tried several more expensive wet shave products and all of them left me with razor burn and irritation. This is the only one I've tried that gives me a close, irritation-free shave. Furthermore, this product is faster and less messy to use since you don't have to work up a lather.'

Another satisfied customer, awarding five stars, wrote: 'Been shaving for over 35 years and this is the best shaving cream I've ever used.'
