This razor comes with: Built-in Shave Gel Bars with white tea scent 3-blade cartridge for a close shave Interchangeable Blade Refill Cartridges Shaving Compact for in-shower refill storage Soft grip handle for no-slip control I agree that the handle made for easy holding while shaving and I really liked the scent of the shave gel bars!

Shaving was a breeze (no pun intended, of course) with this razor, although I do have to say that I did nick myself a few times and I usually … Continue reading →
