intuition razor

[sunberst]

have you tried this? what are your thoughts?

i don't like it. the bottom part of the "moisture bar" wears faster than the top (even after i tried exerting more pressure on the top so this wouldnt happen) and i keep cutting myself! i have not cut myself shaving in years, now i get a knick almost everytime i use this thing. and that moisturize bar thing that sits around the blade goes down so quickly. i only get about 2-3 shaves out of it.

I thought it looked interestingm but Im WAY to cheep to try it. Glad to hear my instinct was right on:)

I use cheep conditioner on my legs for shaving. It is TONS cheeper than the shaving cream and works TONS better than just soap....

Wow, a firend of mine told me she loved it. I wonder if she still does. I am also to cheap to buy them. If they don't last, then the expense is even worse. I won't be tempted now. Never heard of the conditioner idea though.

When I first used mine, I thought it was awesome! I got an extremely smooth shave, no nicks, and moisturized legs all at the same time. I don't usually give into gadgets, but I was rather pleased.

Not too long after that first shave, the bottom half of the moisturizer bar started wearing down much faster than the top half. I didn't get nicks, but I kept feeling a strange scraping. It was actually some of the plastic scraping against my legs where the moisturizer bar had disappeared. The worse part is that it quit giving a really decent shave entirely too soon. I've had cheapie throw-aways that gave a much better shave for a much longer time.

I just swapped blades so I'm good for a while. I felt like I was throwing away half my moisturizer bar...unfortunately, the top half that doesn't get used. I'm not as impressed as I had hoped. When I go to buy my first set of replacements, I'm probably going to take a good look at the other options.

I like my Venus a lot. The Intuition thing looks a little weird and I always use soap to lubricate things anyway.

After I used Venus, I won't switch to anything else. Venus plus "Shave" shave cream gives the closest shave ever. And no nicks.

I thought about trying the Intuition, but it has a little too much going on for me. Currently, I use the Schick Extreme disposables. I like them a lot and they are a little less than the Venus or Mach III replacement blades.

I got one of these sent to me free from Kroger. Not sure how, but wondering if they tapped into my spending habits from Kroger Plus Card? Anyway, I don't really like it either. As others have said, it wears much too quickly on the bottom moisturizer part. It's also clunky. If I'm traveling, I'd rather just take my Venus razor.

I like Venus as well. I use Venus razor and Aveeno shave cream.

i love the intuition. My legs get shaved much more frequently now...it's just so easy. I did cut myself with it a few times at first, but I don't anymore.

I find the Intuition razor does a great job on my legs - never a cut or nick, which I love. I can be fairly sloppy with it, too.

Not as good a job on the ol' underarms or bikini line - the Intuition gives me shaving bumps in both places, plus you can't get a very good "line" in the bikini area.

I did notice that the blade is ready to be changed long before the shaving cream is used up.

Overall, for me, probably not worth the extra bucks. But then, blades for the other razors (Gillette and Mach 3) are expensive, too, which I don't understand at all.

the first shave is decent, then the second shave is just allright, by the third shave the thing is ready for the trash. the bottom part of the moisturizer bar is usually near gone by the 3rd shave. and then you get that "scraping" from the plastic scraping your legs.
