Preserve POPi Shave 5 Razor System Made with Recycled Ocean Plastic and 5-blade cartridge, Coral Pink, 1 Count

I wanted to like this razor. My ideal goal was to buy these for my dad to replace his razors, but I decided to test them out personally to make sure they are good.I'll start by saying the handle is easy to hold and doesn't feel cheap. I did end up dropping the razor accidentally, and it did not break or pop off the blade cartridge. It's a cute yet simple design much like a regular disposable women's razor.But, much like a disposable women's razor, it wasn't the best shaving experience. I had a hard time getting a close enough shave. There is no moisture strip, meaning the top of the cartridge was a bit rough and unpleasant going against the skin.To combat this, they included a small strip similar to a moisture strip infused with aloe vera. I remember briefly reading about the aloe part and not being concerned prior to the purchase, but the first hand experience was... off putting. There's no feeling quite like using a new razor on your leg first time and lifting the handle up to see how you did, only to find a thin trail of slime hanging down from the cartridge to your leg. Ew. I immediately realized it was aloe and continued onward, but it didn't get better. Aloe everywhere. I tried rinsing the blade, but the aloe just kept dripping off in fat plops. I also always dry my razors at the end of each use to prevent rusting, and it's safe to say that the moment the razor touched the towel, my towel had an one inch by three inch spot of slimy, shiny aloe stuck on it, which made drying my legs off a bit more challenging.In short, I LOVE the IDEA of this razor. I'm excited to see MORE recycled razors and razors that can be continuously recycled. As it stands though, I have been using the same razor handle for like 9 year now, and the only thing I have to throw away with that is the cartridge, which I get quite a bit of use out of prior to tossing them. Since my need to recycle really only encompasses the blades and the big point of the Popi razor is a recycled handle, not recycled blades, it's really not meeting my needs in any way. Having a lesser shave experience for some cartridges that can't really even be recycled is kinda of not worth it for me.Overall, this is a GREAT razor, but it is not great for me. I'm still going to probably have my dad try the existing razor and maybe buy him more if he likes it. I read this razor is great for people with Nickle allergies, but since I don't have any allergies, I have nothing to add in that department. Price wise, it's not a bad deal and ranges in roughly the same area as several low cost name-brand razors.Side note, I did only review this razor after the first use (very uncommon for me, as I like to wait a few weeks/months first for a better understanding on the product), so I cannot speak about long-term durability of the product.I'm super excited to see what new and improved razors this company makes so I can maybe one day fully transition over to them, but for now, I will only be purchasing more of this specific razor if my dad likes them.

Durable and smooth shave. I'm moving everything towards climate friendly and this is a great pick

This is, by far, the BEST razor I have ever used. I am now a customer for life. Don't waste your time or money on anything else. This is the last razor you will ever need.

So far so good!

Very smooth shave. Light and easy to use.

I love how well they are made good value fot the money

Good quality razor with long lasting blades. Works well for all the lady shaving!

When I first opened up my package, I was confused. What was did little paper brown baggie at the bottom of my bag? *looks around* The paper housing is super thin, barely there but does an excellent job at housing the product. Environmentally friendly down to the packaging. The blades are constructed in Mexico from what I read on the paper bag. And let me tell you these blades are SO smooth and SO perfectly aligned that you will question if you are shaving anything or not. I have extremely thick hair and every time I shave its like sandpaper, I have to go over the area a few times in EVERY direction because apparently I grow FUR and my hair follicles grow in 3s, its a mess to say the least. But I was pleasantly surprised... albeit also extremely cautious at what a close and smooth shave this is. Be very careful as this razor is NO joke but will be your new best friend!
