GilletteHeated Razor for Men, Starter Shave Kit by GilletteLabs, 1 Handle, 2 Razor Blade Refills, 1 Charging Dock

I’ve only used it once so far but it was absolutely amazing. I even shared it on Facebook for friends to see. I have a bald head so it was the best. I get bad razor burn on my neck and it made the shave feel 10x better. I hope it doesn’t break or wear down. It’s a really really great investment. I do have the non heated one, I pivoted for that one first due to price. I do like that razor but this heated one is life changing.

I trim my beard daily and wanted maximum protection against irritation. I ordered this razor with the expectation of it being more comfortable and causing less irritation and it did just that. I'm not sure what consumers are expecting for the price, but if you want a heated, more comfortable shave, this razor is a perfect choice.In addition to the product delivering the experience I was anticipating, I was also taken back by the customer service I received from Gillette. I purchased the product about nine months ago and I've been using it daily since that time. I recently noticed that it wasn't charging properly so I called Gillette. They asked me some basic questions and within four days I had a new razor at my doorstep.The product does what it advertises and the company behind it is outstanding.I hope someone finds this review helpful.

Prrfect

I love it! I had never used a heated razor before, and I think I’ll never go back to a regular razor again. Gillette advertises that the blades are good for up to 30 shaves, and the razor is still going strong after about a year’s use. A little pricey compared to regular razors and blades, but so much better.

The end results are the same as the regular Gillette labs razor and the Gillette Pro-Glide, but the actual shaving experience way betterIt’s equivalent to swishing your razor into hot water, but you don’t have to do it every stroke. You can just keep going without any downtimeHeats up instantly. No cooldown time.Handle is way bigger (probably due to rechargeable battery) giving those with larger hands; providing better gripThe stand is okay. Have some heft to it. It does take up counter space if you plan to use it. Plus is also very large and protrudes outCartridges are the same as the regular Gillette labs. The heating mechanism is actually in strip under the replacement razorA bit expensive, but may be worth it for those who like to save time (not having to dip and swoosh in hot water every stroke) for a better shaving experience while using the razor

I've used Gillette razors and razor blades since the past century. The razors, in my opinion, simply put, used to be superior and to be unequivocally designed for user safety and comfort. Each iteration of the razors, and the blades that went with these, was clearly intended to enhance personal comfort and to yield quality results in the users daily experience.I was an early adopter of this product, buying it shortly after it was introduced and paying quite a bit for it. Its early demise created a disgusting amount of waste; for example, the denial to the customer of an ability to swap its power source (rechargeable lithium ion battery) alone is a very environmentally unfriendly management decision by Gillette Labs executives, in my opinion.This product, in my estimation and experience, exemplifies what happens when a giant consumer products company buys up everything in sight and then proceeds to prioritize profit above all else. For an exceptionally high priced product to be of such low quality is truly awful. What I see is a rapidly accelerating pace in the devolution of quality, an unapologetic devotion to the bottom line and a gross loss of value in terms of customer experience. It speaks volumes on how bad decisions often may work out. A brand who once offered a product that never failed to now put forward this product, one that appears to be designed with early obsolescence as the guiding principle, is a breach of trust, to say the least.The blades that go with this razor, in my experience, feel like barely resharpened and possibly poorly recycled materials. Within less than 3 shaves, these become downright painful to use and will often cause a cut or abrasion if there is the slightest error in your stroke. Terribly distressing. The razor itself failed with no warning and very suddenly as if to ask: which is worse, the blade or the razor?!The Proctor and Gamble juggernaut seems concerned with only profit above all else, profit at any cost and with maximizing the number of units sold. For the long term, in my opinion, a strategy that cares only for the bottom line and evidences no care for offering high quality goods evidences no care for the customer.I was disappointed more than I can say by the utter and swift failure of this razor. My older razors, also made by Gillette, some of which are over a decade old, are still providing me with great and reliable service. This one, in my opinion, is a poster child for High cost Low quality, Over promise Under delivery.

This is a 10 out of 5. One of the best purchases I have made in a while.

Amazing product and gives the best shave I’ve ever had. Total comfort with no nicks or ingrown hairs. Heats up super fast too!The price is the only reason i would hesitate to recommend, but this is clearly a luxury item. This would make an awesome Christmas or Father’s Day gift.
