The Breakdown

  • Multi-blade cartridge system screams planned obsolescence
  • Plastic handle and heads, glued-shut unrepairable design
  • Lubricating strip with aloe and vitamin E for glide
  • Some versions note 60% recycled handle material
  • Rossmann private label, cheap upfront but endless cartridge costs

Side Effects

wallet drain from refills, skin irritation from plastic glide

Buy Instead

Skip the cartridge game. Buy a Merkur safety razor and double-edge blades — one handle lasts decades, no subscription tax.
