Not close enough

The Schick Intuition doesn't provide as close of a shave as I would like so that's why it doesn't shave very well.

Great for stall showers!

I actually got about 5 uses out of mine and loved it! My legs for smooth, but it is too bulky for the bikini area. The other reviewer is right, the top bar only tends to be used. This is perfect if you have a stall shower so the water doesn't constantly wash your shaving cream off!!

Nosirreee.

I normally use the Gilette Venus razors, but decided to buy this razor out of sheer curiousity. It doesn't even compare...my legs were left dry and stubbly. It's bulky and doesn't maneuver well over knees or or other curvy spots. I went straight back to my Venus razor. This was a waste.

Have been using it for years!

I really like this product for shaving. I always get a close shave, but hardly ever get any cuts or knicks. I like that there is a built-in soapy/type product to condition my skin at the same time I'm shaving it. I also like that you can just pop in a replacement piece rather than having to replace the whole shaver. I've had the same 'base' for probably a couple years and just buy the replacement blands. It works like a charm.

Love!!!

So much easier to use this razor than a conventional one with shaving cream. The built-in shaving cream that wraps around the razor lasts quite a while, and when it runs out, I just use a nice lathering body wash with the razor. I like how it's eco-friendly--you're not throwing away plastic razors after each use, just the blade refill.

Waste

Yes, the first time of use actually works and the shave is actually more than decent, but after a maximum of 2 uses, you have to change the blade. This wastes 90% of the soap and almost all of the value for your money, making both the soap+razor in one idea and the "ease of use" idea pointless. Plus, it does kind of dry out your legs, requiring more moisturizer than before. Unless you need a one-time shave and don't care about money, don't even bother trying it.

I use it

I have no problem with the shape or performance of the product. However, it is true that you really only use one side of the shaving cream bar. I actually try sometimes rubbing the other side for the cream and then shaving, but ultimately there is some wasted product. And the cartridges aren't all that affordable for someone like myself.

Waste!

This is such a waste! The 'soap' (whatever it's officially called) around the razor itself is gone in 5 - 6 shavings and then you're left with this weird razor jutting out from plastic scaffolding (that held the 'soap' in place). On a typical disposable razor, I can DEFINITELY get wayyyy more than 5 - 6 uses out of it before it needs to be replaced! What a waste of money! I can buy a multi-pac...read morek of my favorite disposable razors (Schick Slim Triple Disposables) for a LOT less. 'Tho, thankfully I've never purchased one of these (I've researched the price). They've just shown up in my mailbox as full size samples. More on performance; even when the razor is brand new it's awkward to shave with. When I'm comfortable with a razor (typically your 'stick' type, disposable razors), I can get a groove going and shave pretty fast without nicks and cuts. But, with this gargantuan thing, you HAVE to go way slow around your ankles and knees to prevent injury. Let's not even talk about using it to shave underarms. Definitely awkward! As for closeness, I dunno. I suppose it shaved okay as far as closeness goes, but what's the point when other razors can do a better job for less money? No, I would not recommend this product.

Whoa... Am I shaving right now?

I was amazed the first few times I used this. I think I was actually smiling while I was shaving. I didn't really believe this would work so well. It all looks kind of awkward... razor embedded in a bar of soap... but I went for it and started shaving away. But after one stroke I had to stop and feel my leg to make sure it was actually because it just felt like I was rubbing a bar of soap up my le...read moreg! Indeed, it was shaving! and it was a CLOSE shave! The whole process took HALF the time I'm used to using for shaving because I didn't have to be so slow and careful not to hurt myself. It was the fastest I've ever shaved the skin on top of my shin bone and my knees (that's the part I usually go really slow over). It's not the best for the price or anything, but it's kind of an awesome feeling! and FUN! hahaha Okay, that's cheesy. But seriously, the only reason this didn't get 10 stars was because that big block of soap is hard to maneuver around the ankles and such. Haha, NO regrets with this product!

sounds better than it is

I really wanted to like this and I did for the first use. After that I found it really wasn't very effective. I still needed to use another shaving cream because I would get razor burn otherwise. I also found that I couldn't get a close shave at all especially around my ankles and on my knees, the razor is just too bulky. I gave up on it after 3 tries and bought another razor, which irritated me because I hate spending money on razors.
