I can agree with Paris on this one. I found that the soap ran out way too fast. After a while, the soap just disappears too quickly (so that it is below the razor), and you need to add extra shaving cream to make sure you don't nick yourself. This is a product that is good for a quick shave over a short period of time, like if you were going away on vacation. This way, you don't need to pack a separate shaving cream and a razor! Otherwise, if are looking for a razor for home use, I don't suggest this one.
I was given this for free and I love it. I am really lazy when it comes to shaving so this one step deal really works for me. Unlike other raters I haven't had any issue with the blades running out quickly, I find that they last a really long time! I will definitely go out and buy refills for it once it runs out!
While the idea behind the razor was a good foot forward, the soap runs out entirely too fast and you are left with a sharp razor and an akward applicator, reducing you to the need to change out the blade far earlier than necessary. And with blades being almost double the price (you are given half the amount of blades because they are so large with the soap application around them, while paying the same price as an ordinary box of 4 or 8 blades) it just isn't worth it. Good direction, but much still needs to be altered for the product to be worth the price. Certainly not something to go run out and buy, but if you change your blades out every 3 -4 times you shave, then it may be just the thing for you. Otherwise, just applying shaving cream or using an electric razor seems far more practical.
I bought this razor when it first came out and I really loved it. It's really easy to use, but I find that the soap around the razor runs out faster than I'd like, which means you have to change the razor more often than usual. Refils are also a bit expensive. It makes me feel really smooth though, and I really enjoy the smell of the melon razor refils. I suppose if you wanted the razor to last, you could use regular soap or shaving gel/cream, but that kind of defeats the purpose of buying this razor. It does work, but it doesn't last very long.
