Underwhelming
3I am little disappointed with this razor. I have found that even on the hottest settling you don’t get a tremendous amount of heat. Running the razor under hot water is actually more effective!
Replacement
5After being very pleased with the heated razor it stopped charging. Being out of warranty contacted Gillette who were helpful with a replacement.
Still on the fence
2I bought this as it was on offer and I thought it was worth a punt. I am a daily shaver and use Gillette already. The unit arrived nicely packaged and I charged for the first 6 hours. My shaving routine probably lasts around 7 to 10 minutes so I find I have to charge every other day. The shave feels nice and warm but doesn’t feel particularly close, I was using a shaving cream so ordered the Gillette gel to see if that was better. It’s OK but not as close as their normal shavers. I find that the moisturising bar on the blade isn’t that effective so towards the end of a shave it feels like my face is quite dry even with rinsing the shaver in water. I think it’s a nice idea but I wouldn’t be too pleased if I had spent the full price on it. I can see this being put away after I have used the blades and going back to the more traditional shavers.
Very poor shave
2To say I was very dissaponted with this razor is an understatement. Yes its a lovely feeling on the skin withtheheat but I have to finish off with my old Gillette razor together the close shave ive been used to. Its a complete waste of money.
Battery rubbish
1Battery charge lasts one day not good
Mr
1Initially it was giving me a great shave then after few days a fault has developed. I will provide another review when it is repaired or replaced
Unremarkable!
2I derived no benefit from the heated bar either in the shave or experience. The switch is in a position that is repeatedly being switched off in use. I would have expected the charge cable to be USB or a 3 pin plug. The handle is comfortable in the hand and the magnetic stand convenient and useful. I have requested a refund that is yet to arrive.
Disappointed
1First bad point I noticed: Charge time 6 hours for 18 minutes of use. I was excited to receive this product, but it was extremely underwhelming. The heated element is literally a small metal bar below the blades, it's not the actual blades. This was nothing more than a gimmick. Certainly not comparable to a hot towel shave and due to its position you have to ensure the surface area of the shaver is fully flat against your skin. I had about 4 days of stubble. My hair is pretty thin. It felt a bit rough, so I had to trim with my electric trimmer first. Absolutely nothing special and is literally no different to a regular Gillette shaver / razor. Save yourself £££ and just get a normal one. Hot water will provide a better effect.

Great product
5I think this is one of the best razors I have used so much so I have bought a spare razor as it was a great price. It shaves so close and smooth and the heating element works exceptionally well,many thanks Gillette.
