My new favourites, 27 Aug. 2013

I just tried out these with the razor supplied, and i have to say i was very impressed.The razor gets a 5 star from me, simple to use, clean, safe and close shave.In my opinion however the blades are a little overpriced,i think there should be at least 6 in the box for this price as they cost about 10p to manufacture, but i will still be buying them and i have in fact just put them on subscribe and save and have saved 15% off the list price anyway.Unlike other reviewers i like the blue and green, much better than always having everything pink all the time.

Wife thinks they are great, 23 Mar. 2013

I can only comment on the usage from the lack of complaints from my wife. She has told me that they produce a smooth shave and last quite well. She is happy, thus I am happy. No ear ache ;)

clean shave, 23 Aug. 2013

I had been forced to move from my faithful old, cheap and cheerful, orange BIC razor about 6 months ago when I discovered that they no longer made them. I had tried an electric razor then finally I tried the Embrace.

I like the results of the shave but it only came with a single shaving head and an empty storage "pod". As I have discovered it is better to have spares in case they decide to move on to a new "type" of blade.

The blue, green and white handle was very reminiscent of sea-splashing and I quite liked it until the male of the species pointed out that it looked like it was meant for men to use because of the colours - well, that was his excuse anyway. So I have decided that I am getting a pink handled Breeze one and he can have the blue and green one ... and any used razor heads I may be willing to throw his way.

Fortunately for me the heads, both Breeze and Embrace, fit both pink and blue handles. This means that if you need a pink handle...
