“Looks like a nice razor however I found it Dangerous ! I was left with lots of little cuts all over my legs after using this razor, even with shaving foam. I will go back to using the Gillette thanks”
Hey,
Thanks for the review and sorry to hear of the cuts!!
Technique is so important when using this type of razor. It's actually really easy to use when you know the right technique and in no way dangerous. However, when used incorrectly, as with any razor or sharp object, it can be.
We'd love to chat it through with you and help you improve your technique and get the shave you should expect from this type of razor!
“Customer Service is very understanding and helpful! Razor is amazing, the closest shave I have ever gotten, I was smooth as a dolphin! I will never ever go back to disposable razors, Strongly recommended,”
“Thought this would be a great product, followed all recommendations but this has just ripped my skin the shreds. Deep cut into my skin so have had to stop using”
Hey Jemma,
Thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear about the cut.
It def sounds like you've applied pressure when using. It's really important to apply absolutely no pressure when using. Just let the weight of the razor do the work and glide it over the skin.
Happy to chat it through with you and try and help you get the better quality shave you should expect with this type of razor.
“I absolutely love my Lane 44 razor. I have been wanting to switch to a plastic free for a long time and decided to purchase this one. Amazing quality and even better price.”
“Looked up how to shave properly using this but still cut myself and after shaving a terrible looking shaving rash came all over my legs. I would not recommend anyone to buy this especially if your looking to wear something with your legs!”
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for your review.
Technique is really important when it comes to using this type of razor. If you get the right technique, there is no reason that you shouldn't expect the same level of shave as so many others have experienced.
With regards the shaving rash - it's important to let shaving rash heal before attempting to shave. When this happens, it just further irritates the skin and doesn't allow any time for healing.
More than happy to chat through how to get the most from the razor.
“I have never cut myself so badly as I did with this razor. It took so much of my leg off that I bled for 4 days straight, and my doctor had to send me to a&e. I followed the instructions, but it wasn’t a sideways slice, I cut my leg like a slice of bacon”
Hey Katie,
Thanks for your review and so sorry to hear of your cut.
This definitely sounds like you were applying quite a bit of pressure. It's really important to apply absolutely no pressure at all when using this type of razor.
We'd be more than happy to chat it through with you and try and help you get the close shave that so many others have experienced.
“My razor arrived really quickly abs customer service is also amazing and really friendly. The product is amazing and give you the best shave ever!
Goodbye plastic razors hello Lane 44!”
“I was a bit scared to use this but was great once I got started. I shave my legs every day and the close shave is far better than a disposable. Use shaving foam and was perfect.”
Hey Penelope,
Thanks for sharing your experience and sorry to hear about the nicks.
It's really important that the product is used with the correct technique. As with any sharp object, especially razors, if the correct technique is not used then it's likely to not perform as expected.
That being said, I can completely appreciate how this product requires a slightly different technique and I would be more than happy to chat it through with you to help you experience the quality shave that so many others are getting.
Please drop us an email at info@lane44.com and we would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes,
Lane 44
“Love this product and will never go back to plastic razors! It does take a bit of getting used to but the shave is so much closed, my legs have never been so smooth after a shave and the biggest part is no razor burn/rash!
The only reason it's not a 5 star review is it didn't come with a stand which was shown in the pictures of purchase.”
“The packaging and appearance of the razor is 10/10 and looks amazing. Although when using, I would of gotten a better result from using a bic razor. My legs were cut badly although being careful when using. I messaged on Facebook over a week ago and have still had no feedback. Disappointed.”
Hey Megan,
Thanks for the feedback and really sorry we completely missed your message on Facebook.
There's definitely a different technique when using the razor. We'll give you a shout on Facebook and we can help you get the close, comfortable shave you should expect 😊
“Really good razor!
It genuinely gives me such a close shave that it's helped with an ongoing ingrown hair issue ive had since getting a wax a few years ago. Also the hair takes longer to grow back, which is great!
Just make sure you follow the directions that they send to you. Short strokes only and keep the angle correct. I'd say, as a glasses wearer, its much safer to use in the bath rather than the shower.
Excellent razor, loads of blades, great value for money.”
“Excellent product!! I've tried other subscription razors and always either got razor rash straight away, or had ingrown hairs or painful pustules on regrowth.
Having just one blade seems to make SUCH a huge difference!
Scrub first, take it slowly and this product will NOT disappoint! No rash, no ingrown hairs, soft regrowth.
I'm honestly so pleased I've found something that works for me.
I'm in love 😍
As a side note, I would love to see Lane 44 sell a scrub and shaving gel/cream! (that is also suitable for intimate areas).”
