EvoShave Razor in Pastel Yellow with 2 Razor Blades Refills

This is a neat small package perfect for travelling. You get one small “handle” or cartridge for holding the blade and space for another blade as a spare. The blades are very good quality and will last a while. I see that some people in reviewing this product have said how difficult it is to use. I never found this, it’s a bit different but I think it doesn’t take that much to get used to it. I imagine those that shave legs and other areas might find this easier to use in some cases as the fingertip control might be quite useful. When shaving I have had no nicks or cuts and it gives a very good shave. The blades don’t get too clogged up either so they are probably going to last quite a while. I think the eco credentials are a little overstated to be honest, it states that the case and the cartridge are designed not to be thrown away. I think this is true for a great number of razors which come with good cases and handles. I see the comment “Since our System Razor is proudly made in the UK , we cut down on our travel miles” but don’t know if that maps to the companies marketing in the US, Canada and Kazakhstan (I genuinely don’t know). The marketing of all razors though seem to give a discount “get you in” deal where it is cheaper to buy a starter pack of the latest razor with a handle, blades and sometimes shaving cream than buying the replacement blades. Until the industry stops doing this many people will continue collecting handles as the latest idea is marketed. I hope that EvoShave don’t do this, I notice no replacement blades are currently available on Amazon UK (I have seen them elsewhere) and this needs to be addressed. I also note we are on Series 3 so I am slightly cynical that this isn’t another product that will get constantly reinvented. I’m slightly cautious but I’m giving 4 stars. I hope the blades not being available is a glitch rather than an issue and I plan to continue to use with a view that this will also make a great travelling razor (but not only for travelling)

I tested this Starter Pack EvoShave Series 3 System Razor Here's what I found... Pros ✅ having the blades held by your fingers takes a bit of getting used to - but once I got the hang of it, this makes it a LOT easier to change the blade's angle when shaving armpits and the bikini zone. That means less need to go over the same place twice - I needed only 1 or 2 passes - so the process is quicker and gives less skin irritation. In terms of shaving, the 5 blades did a good job. I usually use the Wilkinson's brand "Intuition Sensitive Care For Women" razors and it is as good as those. A big bonus - it is made in the UK. Cons ❌ the flexibility in angling makes it better on surfaces with fast-changing angles - but needs more concentration on large even surfaces to keep the angle consistent and avoid nicks, for example on legs. So I'll use this for the sites where it makes a big difference and keep my traditional razor for the legs. That way it will also last a lot longer too. Cost of Refills? This was a 'starter pack". I have tried to find out the cost of getting refills blades, but as of Nov 30th there are no adverts or prices. OVERALL - I like this - and would be happy to get it again. Delivery was next day. My Wilkinson's system usually lasts for a month (legs, armpits, bikini area) - and they cost about £2.25 each in the 6x packs, so I'll come back and update this review if this doesn't prove durable or the refill price comes in much higher than that. These claim a 2-week lifespan - so that presumably means I should expect about 14 shaves from each refill. I tried to interest the DH - without much response. I suspect the strength of this design is in its advantage in armpits and bikini areas. So I reckon this isn't a good Christmas present for men unless you want to give him a big hint about personal body grooming down there !! Delivery was quick - they came next day which is great service.

I’m someone who shaves my face and head daily, so I’m always interested in new products. This is compact and I was intrigued by the idea. Certainly, it’s great for travelling with its hard case. I’ve given it a few weeks to try and while I’m getting on ok with it, I’m able to get a close shave, I can’t fault the sharpness of the blades. Perhaps if shaving areas round the body, it’s well suited. But, I personally didn’t find it much easier shaving my face or head. The first line of the description says “ Forget the disposable and wasteful cartridge razors”. How does this razor stop that? With cartridge razors. So, forget disposable razors and replace them with disposable razors, this claim makes zero sense. You are just as well off with a standard razor. Added to this, is the expense of the cartridge replacements. They use a unique design, so you can’t use any razor head, you have to stick to this manufacturers blades. There are none currently on sale at all on Amazon. Nice idea but too many negatives for me to consider replacing my standard razors.
