“I’ve found my experience with Lane 44 brilliant. I’ve been using this razor for abit over a year now, and I can’t imagine how much waste of disposable ones I have saved by using this razor. It gives such a close shave and doesn’t give me razor bumps! I’ve recommended it to all of my friends and convinced a few to convert from the disposable razors! I’ve also found the customer service great.”
“Great company selling a great product. Have been looking for one of these razors for a while and this is the first company that have sold everything I wanted in one place. Great prices and great customer see I service.”
“I chose this razor to be eco friendly, but it gave me shaver rash which I never really get with plastic ones, and I have painful little nicks on my legs along with hair that the razor didn’t get , I want to persevere but am very anxious now”
Hi Amy,
Thanks for the feedback.
We'd love to help you get the results others are getting from the razor. There's definitely a different technique when using it.
If you're experiencing a lot of tiny cuts there are two things that spring to mind:
- ensure your skin is really warm before shaving. This helps soften the hair but also gets rid of any goosebumps and creates a nice flat surface.
- apply absolutely no pressure when shaving. The weight of the razor alone is enough to get a really close shave. Downward pressure restricts the razors ability to glide smoothly across the skin.
If you've any questions, I'd be more than happy to help. Feel free to get in touch on info@lane44.com.
“So happy I let this Insta ad catch my eye! Cannot believe how much better my skin on my legs is!! Still trying to master the technique of not adding pressure (so used to years of crap disposable razors that needed it!) not gonna lie, very nervous of it at the start but I havent had a nick yet!”
“It’s obviously a good sharp shaver however every time I try to use it it gives me such bad anxiety as all it does it cut me. I followed advice of literally not applying any pressure to the shaver and letting the weight of the shaver do the work but even that has cut me badly, I’m left with scars on my legs! Not great for summer. I’ve kept the shaver but unfortunately it isn’t my ‘go-to’.”
Hey,
Thanks for the review.
Just over emphasise the no pressure part of the start. Hold the razor and a 30 degree angle and go really slow.
It will take a wee bit of time to adjust but once you get it, you'll speed up and not have any cuts.
“Found this razor way too sharp and fiddly. Regrowth was faster than a normal razor. So disappointing as I seen all the hype about these razors online and was super excited to use them 😔”
“I read a lot saying it got rid of all your hair and made your legs smooth and is safe in all ways. I don’t think it’s the safest razor as it is very easy to cut yourself with it amd it doesn’t shave all your hair”
“Brilliant. Closest shave I’ve ever had.
Need to work on technique though as I’m running out of little plasters!
Also, why is it so pretty? I don’t know but I dig it.”
“Great company doing good things to combat the disposable shaver waste problem, by making non disposable shavers that are likely to last a very long time!”
“Fabulous quality razor and stylish too. Took a few trys to get used to but now it's super easy to use..it just glides! No need to shave as often either.
Happy days!”
“I am shook. After the initial fear of cutting myself to bits I can honestly say I couldn’t be happier I bit the bullet and purchased this razor. My skin is smooooth. No razor burn, no incidents (as of yet), this is the closest shave I’ve ever had and it genuinely does last longer. I am a hairy gal and this has been life changing”
