Just got given one. Fair enough as a razor but blades are going to cost a fortune. Really mixed feelings. Recommend Harry's which would save you a packet.
For my face I only use the Phillips oneBlade. I love that trimmer. And the blade is after 5 months still quite sharp and good. Best decision to use it.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I would not have picked one up if it were not for wanting to be the first in UK to get the review online to match my other firsts. Sometimes you just end up spending on your hobbies for the fun of it.
@@kamilmusalat I see this as targeting the market that the likes of Bolin Webb established, which is the ultra premium. Similarly why do people buy Bollinger Champagne when they could buy Cava or Prosecco which uses the same 'method traditional' to make but is not from the champagne region in France? Answer is the branding, and image, although customers would often say otherwise.
Geek Of Shaves I understand your comparison but i honestly can’t compare this to it. This isn’t the same as this will not be perceived as that valuable by most customers, whereas the champagne is. I’m pretty sure this will not be a success unless they will not produce a lot of these and just limit these to a certain numbers like they do with trainers nowadays selling same Nike versions in special limited color ways.
I did have to wince when you were running your finger tip along the blades. I remember doing that on my dad’s razor when I was five years old and still remember how much the cut hurt 35 years later! 😫
Your absolutely right on spending on you hobbies. I've got a drew full of throw away razors plus a drew full of DE razors plus god knows how many blades and a drew full of shaving creams. Must admit though it has made shaving time a lot more fun. If you can call having a shave Fun. I enjoy your videos and reviews etc hope you keep it up.
Way's to save you money 1: buy you DE safety razor handle as little as 10 bucks 2: buy you some DE razor blades as little as 10 cents a blade 3: buy a shower mirror 4: shave in hot shower.
Exactly my point, the pulsating made it easier and smoother and I can't imagine a heating strip would do anything to make it smoother or easier so I just bought a Braun series 9 and payed around the same price for that incl. cleaning station.
Awesome video I and that one looks like a good razor. Thank you so much for doing this video and such professional level as well. I also like the educational side of it, as it's also teaching people how to shave as well. Keep up the great work and the amazing videos
What does the heated bar add to the shaving experience, is it just the sensation of having a hot towel wet shave or simply just a warm bar running across the face? I guess what I’m asking is what does it add in terms of enjoyment to the experience
It's a good question. In short, human skin likes it when a warm (not very hot) item runs across it, so it does have a nice sensation. I dont think it necessarily adds to the effectiveness, but as an occasional shave and part of a pampering routine it does feel nice. So I would say it's for occasional use, bit like a spa day is nice, but you wouldn't do it every day.
@@GeekOfShaves much appreciated, I'm getting ready to purchase one. How long do the blades last if I shave every two day's. And your opinion am I making the right choice purchasing this. I watch both of your video's. You said it's like a treat occasional. For this price I'm focusing on using it as my primary razor. Will it give me the same clean shave as the safety razor I'm actually new at and falling in love with the clean shave it's given me. And thanks for your video
@@TheStevenFoster I can only give you my views. We all have to makeup our own minds and stick to our convictions. For me it takes to long to warm up and the replacement blades are too costly for me to use it every day (I like to make savings but still have good experiences). Also I am not necessarily the average person, my razor collection is rather large 😂😂
bought the heated razor via there website now I need blades and won't send to Ireland.. but there's information on delivery for the UK and Ireland the subscriptions don't even work
Thanks, you do a great job too. Clearly you are better at it with your large subscriber base. Mind you I did this just for fun because I am a little bit nuts 😂😂😂
Could i suggest you few things. I was facing similar problems. But i used to first wash my beard with really hot water. Wipe the water from my face then instead of using any shaving foam, which was the main reason of spots occurring due to the chemicals in the foam, use soap. Then run your razor under the hot water for few seconds, then shave. Try it for 6/7 shave and I hope the spots will go. My spots disappeared completely since i stopped using the shaving foam.
@@thelordknows I prefer soap too, not for same reasons, but I like the way it forces you to lather rather than just sitting on top of the hair like foam does.
Well it is rather expensive. Sounds like old double glazing sales, high list prices and then massive discount to make it look like you got a bargain. Also dame principle used on many industries (like kitchens etc etc).
@@GeekOfShaves Yeah, they were bundling it with a shaving bag and a bunch of extra razors. But it is way too much for what it is. Top end should have been about £79.

@@Larry well with such a large number of subscribers you are doing really well, great work. I dont think my niche will get to your sort of size, but at least it's a but of fun.
For me personally, I never liked the floppy blade thing and I tried it for several weeks a few times. No 5 blades with a "warming bar" for me. Hot water and a DE works best for me. Never buying a cartridge system ever again let alone at that price point.
You're comparing it to a Ferrari, but a Ferrari will give you a way different experience. I like the heated blade, but it's a 4 minute experience and apart from the heat it does nothing better than your average Mach 4 for example. A Ferrari is faster, looks great, gives fun on the free way, etc. etc. In total, it's a way better car. It's €200,- here, so a bit cheaper, and my brother uses it and I tried it out. Personally I think it's a bs product. And an actual rich person, does he care about spending this on shaving? I wouldn't call myself rich, but I do pretty well. But this doesn't mean I will spend more on things like toilet paper and shaving. I'd rather go to the barber for a shave once a week then.
Thank you for that detailed reply and as you can see everyone has different opinions considering your brother uses it you said. As for toilet paper, I certainly dont use the cheapest, but also not the super quilted, as for most things I am a middle ground type of guy.
Don't know what a heat strip would does for the shaving but I love the vibrations that the previous ones had as it made shaving easier but can't think of anything that this warm strip will do to make the shaving smoother???
Top video and great channel! I find it works best with the "Pro" range from Gillette. Shave mousse and shave gel. I also shave at the end when I'm in the bath, so I can dunk my face in the warm water and then wash it to prep it as best I can as well as warm up the blades by submerging it in the water prior to the shave. Used it today and it was one of the best shaves I've ever had!
You Should apply your gel with a beard brush. Honestly gets right under the hairs and gives you a very even lather. Especially on the second pass for going upwards.
Thank you very much for your great review I couldn’t agree with you anymore I would definitely not pay 💰 the price there asking although I do use there products & I would pay for this new razor around £50 tops that’s including the blades !!! Thanks again for a great video 👍
Thanks for the review, but whether their overpriced razors are good or bad I am never buying another Gillette razor after they did that anti-men ad last year.
what would have been truly awesome, is if Gillette had created a DE razor like a new Fatboy etc with this heating tech built-in. that might just be the Holy Grail of razors.
Hi, Geek of Shaves I've had this razor as a Christmas present 🎁 last year in 2020 and I agree with you on that it is very stylish and the warming bar is very sensational to have as a personalised choice but I love the warmthness because it reminds me of going into the barbers and have a hot towel on my face so relaxing 😌 Plus you can however get this razor what a option charging case if you want to travel anywhere or just to keep it in for easy storage and its magnetic 🧲 as you put it away because as you see I can feel a good strong pull to the magnet also when you close the case up the light of the heating razor pulses and with the door close there is a slit of the case that you can see it pulsate inside the case its very cool 😎 by the way love the review! 👍
Thanks for the lovely feedback Conner. This review is a little old now and I am sure Gillette Labs have made some updates. I think it's not sold as well as they would like, and they want more blades sold as they have brought out a new exfoliating version that I believe uses the same cartridge in the USA, but after asked g them we won't see it here in the UK untill 2022 🥲
I read this very early in the morning, thinking it was a serious comment to start with, then at the end got caught out by the punch line and chuckled. I must admit I am thinking of giving it to my girlfriend to try on her legs to see what she thinks
I don't give a shit how good Gillettes new razor is. I am not using their products until they retract and apologize for their extremely condescending advert.
Great review! I’m the type of person to buy these type of things, but I don’t understand how people could spend $200 on a razor that heats up?! Like does it have any actual benefit other than feeling nice?
@@GeekOfShaves it’s strange that they didn’t make the blades interchangeable with the regular Fusion blades, I guess they have to pay for all that R&D put into it
Very good review! Not many videos of this on CZcams, it's also $200 here in the USA. Way too expensive in my opinion, hopefully gillette starts producing more safety razors
It looks interesting, if my mach 3 is not warm enough then the shaving irritates my skin. I would buy one if they release a mach 3 version, and if they low the price
I think the lowering of the price is the first part. Not sure about a Mach 3 version, but I did suggest to them a Gaurd Sensetive version with the 2 blades as this would be an easy modification
@@GeekOfShaves bought it for my egg can't feel the full effect on my head but as a man that mainly shaves my head I don't get the full benefit. I leave my beard to grow when I use this razor on my face to shape my beard I can feel the heat and that's nice for yourself shaving the beard you will get the best of it.
Gillette labs now imagine and create a razor that does not need foam or cream or any shaving cream ** but just water and the razor haves a cartridge of shaving cream or something it's a good idea ain't it
Chris Balanda straight razor but I’d go with a different answer and say a *safety razor*. That’s why I started Traditional WetShaving with a safety razor !* I have a *1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable* cartridge blades Provoke tugging, ingrown hair‘s, redness, and irritation not to mention expensive !!! safety razors use double edge blades that are cost-effective, better for your skin, and provide a better shave I suggest you invest in a shaving brush and some good artisan shave soap
That has actually been trialled, it was called skarp. Although it never got off the ground. www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-skarp-laser-razor-21st-century-shaving
Hi fantastic video to be honest I wouldn’t spend £199.00 or more for a Gillette razor especially it does not have the vibration function on it I do us a Gillette proglide styler it’s fantastic and it does have the vibration function for less than £20 like you said if the price was £100 I would give it a go and it does look fantastic
Is this a traditional WetShaving channel? In case it’s not I’m going to get this off my chest....

Mike Rose: I started shaving with a safety razor a year ago. Best decision I've ever made as shaving goes. 15 cents a blade and a better more comfortable shave. I'll never go back to disposables, cartridges, or electrics again. And to the people reading this if you're worried about getting cuts going to a safety razor all there is is a small learning curve once you get past that you'll have the best shape of your life
Xander Voorhees what’s some of your favorite blades? Notice how I said some lol mines Gillette Silver blue PolSilver Feather Voskhod Personna isreali Red
honestly my electric razor the cost less than $50 which is Star wars related can do the same thing that's does and I can do it while I'm sitting on my couch and then I just have a hot towel and put it on my face and there you go or my dog will lick my face with her hot tongue and I get the same action, and it didn't cost me two hundred bucks and by the way my electric razor I don't have to buy blades for it for a long time which is great this is ridiculous in price this is just technology that is really not needed in this world. Basically it's just a gimmick

Ridiculous price for a product who's replacement blades will be extortionate and still wont shave aswel as a DE razor which only costs a few pence to replace blades on...if you get one you need to have your head tested!!
I use double edge saftey razors for me they give the best shave. The best cartridge shaving system is the Gilette Mach 3 in my opinion. I tried the Fusion a few years ago and hated it. For £200 you can buy about 20 years supply of double edge blades and in my opinion get a better shave.
Was good to see gillette lost a whole lot of money after that terrible advertisement. I still have not used a gillette product since and this certainly doesn't interest me. Good review though.
I think that you would wait a long time for that, I certainly think this razor they will try to keep as a more exclusive offering and to do this they will keep the premium price on it.
I use a mach 3 and get as good a shave as any. Going to Upgrade to the Gillette fusion 5 pro glide. 199 quid and 40 quid for replacement blades is steep. Ill pass for now. Excellent review but any gilette product is good that's the problem even there most basic razor will give u an excellent shave. :D
The heated razor just looks to me like a gimmick, and the charging an extortionate amount of money just for some heat? The blades are part of the fusion range so no change there, just dip a standard razor in warm water.
who market skin-damaging shaving products that have no cure, including allergenic shaving creams and shaving gels. These companies should be sued for the toxicity of the substances they use in their shaving creams and gels that damage and affect the skin, and it's not the razor that's to blame.
It has come down in price since this first hit UK and I did this video. It's not down to £50 though. I have only used it once since the video as well, take from that what you may.
A ferrari is a ferrari because it can do things which other cars cant do. But this razor does exactly what a pound shops 6 for 1 pound razor does which I use for... it does nothing special I dont know who would buy this. At least not me. As you can see I dont shave anyway. But still even if i did i wouldnt buy this.
you know it's funny that older people who grew up in the 40s and 50s or probably look at this and laugh because it's just a gimmick it's a joke it's something that we don't need in technology you know why companies create something while I know why they want money that's why but why do we need something like this I mean we don't you know it we really don't I mean does it work apparently not. like I said the next thing is probably going to be like damn razor attached to your cell phone or you'll be able to I don't know do everything with your cellphone adventures what's going to be going to have razors and you know stuff it's it's ridiculous
Thanks for posting this GoS, but really, Gillette is dabbling into the realm of the absurd with these razor designs. It looks like it could double as an oil filter wrench. Give me a 1960 Adjustable 195 and a Treet carbon steel blade and I'm good to go.
My experience is Gillette is best shaving gel maker and smells nice love the cool minty feel on the face when wash your face but Nivea is also not bad it would be my second best choice
I just run my razor under the hot tap, works just as well.
Yes! This! I mean, it's not really the same, but it's not much different either.
@@SalWare686 lol wut. Babers use a hot towel on your face to open the pours and soften your bristles. This will do none of that.

I don't give a shit how good Gillettes new razor is. I am not using their products until they retract and apologize for their extremely condescending advert.
Dude...way to much gel santa lol...thanks tho going to buy. Hope it's not hot on the button bag! U tried?
Great review! I’m the type of person to buy these type of things, but I don’t understand how people could spend $200 on a razor that heats up?! Like does it have any actual benefit other than feeling nice?
Erm, no it just feels nice. People pay a lot to feel nice thought, think of soap days etc.
Is the heating bar a part of the razor handle or is it on the cartridge?
It's on the handle. The cartridge has a hole I it where it slots into
@@GeekOfShaves it’s strange that they didn’t make the blades interchangeable with the regular Fusion blades, I guess they have to pay for all that R&D put into it
Very good review! Not many videos of this on CZcams, it's also $200 here in the USA. Way too expensive in my opinion, hopefully gillette starts producing more safety razors
Thanks for the kind words
BY THE TIME IT HEATS UP i would have had a normal shave
This does happen
It looks interesting, if my mach 3 is not warm enough then the shaving irritates my skin. I would buy one if they release a mach 3 version, and if they low the price
I think the lowering of the price is the first part.
Not sure about a Mach 3 version, but I did suggest to them a Gaurd Sensetive version with the 2 blades as this would be an easy modification
How is it for shaving your egg ?
It's ok
@@GeekOfShaves bought it for my egg can't feel the full effect on my head but as a man that mainly shaves my head I don't get the full benefit. I leave my beard to grow when I use this razor on my face to shape my beard I can feel the heat and that's nice for yourself shaving the beard you will get the best of it.
Can I use any of the fusion razors with this?
No, it has a different cartridge connection. Sorry
Gillette labs now imagine and create a razor that does not need foam or cream or any shaving cream ** but just water and the razor haves a cartridge of shaving cream or something it's a good idea ain't it
There are some razors like this, it was designed for people to shave the elderly and call the Treo
Was this the best shave you ever had?
No
What is better heat razor of straight razer
Chris Balanda straight razor but I’d go with a different answer and say a *safety razor*.
That’s why I started Traditional WetShaving with a safety razor !* I have a *1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable* cartridge blades Provoke tugging, ingrown hair‘s, redness, and irritation not to mention expensive !!! safety razors use double edge blades that are cost-effective, better for your skin, and provide a better shave I suggest you invest in a shaving brush and some good artisan shave soap
Heat a wet towel put it over your face before you shave or use heated shaving cream
Whats next? A razor with a lazer that replaces blades? Come on gillete
That has actually been trialled, it was called skarp. Although it never got off the ground.

@@GeekOfShaves wow lol
Hi fantastic video to be honest I wouldn’t spend £199.00 or more for a Gillette razor especially it does not have the vibration function on it I do us a Gillette proglide styler it’s fantastic and it does have the vibration function for less than £20 like you said if the price was £100 I would give it a go and it does look fantastic
Glad you have found a system that works for you.
Have a happy new year
Geek Of Shaves thanks for reply and a happy New Years to you as well
So no rushing for a quick shave with this 1 then. Oh just need to wait 5 min for my razor to heat up lol
Yes that was what I found
Does it fly?(for the price)
Afraid not
Where is your unboxing video please?
czcams.com/video/NqS4VOzagcg/video.html
The price is a joke. OneBlade Pro which is a superior product costs less. No idea why would one buy this Gillette over Phillips 🤷♂️.
Try turkish barber Hot towel very close
Just sit back my straight razer are in display cabinet on the wall
I imagine in 10 years these will be on the shelves at every big box store for 50$
Yea it's £50 now on sale
Is this a traditional WetShaving channel? In case it’s not I’m going to get this off my chest....

There are lots focusing on the traditional, I focus on the cartridges. There is occasional overlap such as the leaf razor 😉
Mike Rose: I started shaving with a safety razor a year ago. Best decision I've ever made as shaving goes. 15 cents a blade and a better more comfortable shave. I'll never go back to disposables, cartridges, or electrics again. And to the people reading this if you're worried about getting cuts going to a safety razor all there is is a small learning curve once you get past that you'll have the best shape of your life
Xander Voorhees also the one blade is a kind of overlap
Xander Voorhees what’s some of your favorite blades? Notice how I said some lol mines Gillette Silver blue PolSilver Feather Voskhod Personna isreali Red
@@mikerose51 I like Feather, Gillette super stainless Astra.
200 quid?!? I'd rather buy the Iwasaki Kamisori Japanese straight razor.
Good morning sir it’s Jon I enjoy the video a lot it awesome how you test deferent stuff so interesting
Thank you for the support Jon
honestly my electric razor the cost less than $50 which is Star wars related can do the same thing that's does and I can do it while I'm sitting on my couch and then I just have a hot towel and put it on my face and there you go or my dog will lick my face with her hot tongue and I get the same action, and it didn't cost me two hundred bucks and by the way my electric razor I don't have to buy blades for it for a long time which is great this is ridiculous in price this is just technology that is really not needed in this world.
Basically it's just a gimmick
this is way cool and fun to use.
Glad you enjoy

Ridiculous price for a product who's replacement blades will be extortionate and still wont shave aswel as a DE razor which only costs a few pence to replace blades on...if you get one you need to have your head tested!!
I use double edge saftey razors for me they give the best shave. The best cartridge shaving system is the Gilette Mach 3 in my opinion. I tried the Fusion a few years ago and hated it. For £200 you can buy about 20 years supply of double edge blades and in my opinion get a better shave.
I use the old Gillette Contour plus razor 🪒 I always find this one suits my skin
Was good to see gillette lost a whole lot of money after that terrible advertisement. I still have not used a gillette product since and this certainly doesn't interest me. Good review though.
It is just a battery and a heat bar, nothing special, but crazy price
I take my blades to the chemist when dull in a container prevent cut in the bin
Superb review, as always. But I 'll maybe wait til the price comes down...can see myself spending maybe £50 but not much more on it.
I think that you would wait a long time for that, I certainly think this razor they will try to keep as a more exclusive offering and to do this they will keep the premium price on it.
The biggest scam of this century multiblade razor
This is £70 now even then its over priced
They seem to be trying everything now they have set up the production line for the cartridges to up the sales on them it would seem
@@GeekOfShaves you can buy it for £50 now still cartridges are a rip
I use a mach 3 and get as good a shave as any. Going to Upgrade to the Gillette fusion 5 pro glide. 199 quid and 40 quid for replacement blades is steep. Ill pass for now. Excellent review but any gilette product is good that's the problem even there most basic razor will give u an excellent shave. :D
The heated razor just looks to me like a gimmick, and the charging an extortionate amount of money just for some heat? The blades are part of the fusion range so no change there, just dip a standard razor in warm water.
Marshalls and TJ Maxx get them in on occasion with a full shaving kit for 70 dollars.
Robert Lasich not this
who market skin-damaging shaving products that have no cure, including allergenic shaving creams and shaving gels. These companies should be sued for the toxicity of the substances they use in their shaving creams and gels that damage and affect the skin, and it's not the razor that's to blame.
My family bought me one ☝️ for my 50 th birthday wait for it to come in
You will have to tell me what you think. Since this video I know the price has come down
£200 wtf you better better be a able to heat your house with this thing
This video was when it last first came out. It's now already available for half the price at £99
Still it is a lot for what it is
It not a proper modern shave. You clearly don’t know how to shave in modern day with that tech
😂😂🤣🤣
I would Buy it if it was £50
It has come down in price since this first hit UK and I did this video. It's not down to £50 though.
I have only used it once since the video as well, take from that what you may.
Well
.I mean u shave every day basically..why not have the best. I read some were men spend 1.6 years time wise (life time) shaving. 2.8 for my wife.
Can't you just run a regular one through hot water and get the same effect? lol
Not quite, but I can certainly design one you could that would cost a lot less. Thing is none of the manufacturers have taken me up on my offer
A ferrari is a ferrari because it can do things which other cars cant do. But this razor does exactly what a pound shops 6 for 1 pound razor does which I use for... it does nothing special I dont know who would buy this. At least not me. As you can see I dont shave anyway. But still even if i did i wouldnt buy this.
Good review .. looks a waste of money though
There are certainly many more economical razors available, but then this is not a razor for someone who is worried about the money.
Yeah $200 for a warming sensation no thank you
Jes jest od kors
you know it's funny that older people who grew up in the 40s and 50s or probably look at this and laugh because it's just a gimmick it's a joke it's something that we don't need in technology you know why companies create something while I know why they want money that's why but why do we need something like this I mean we don't you know it we really don't I mean does it work apparently not.
like I said the next thing is probably going to be like damn razor attached to your cell phone or you'll be able to I don't know do everything with your cellphone adventures what's going to be going to have razors and you know stuff it's it's ridiculous
Thanks for posting this GoS, but really, Gillette is dabbling into the realm of the absurd with these razor designs. It looks like it could double as an oil filter wrench. Give me a 1960 Adjustable 195 and a Treet carbon steel blade and I'm good to go.
Yep we all have our go to products
Dollar shave club hot water and shaving cream there done
I have revised them when they first cam out in UK.

" Oh look....he hasn't shaved again....must be doing another video" ...AND SCREW YOU GILLETTE SHAVE GEL!!!
Nivea all the way for you isn't it B-man
@@GeekOfShaves Honestly it's the way it foams for me, I find the gillette gel's stay on your hands more than your face lol
My experience is Gillette is best shaving gel maker and smells nice love the cool minty feel on the face when wash your face but Nivea is also not bad it would be my second best choice
King Of Shaves works best for me, seems to help get a closer shave than any of the mainstream gel manufacturers.
