Preserve Five Blade Replacement Cartridges, Wave Edition Cartridges

5 blades makes shaving easy

Love these razors!

Feels good to do good for the planet

I've been using the Preserve razor system for years; not because I'm particularly in love with the shave it gives, but because I hope it's a bit more natural than other big-name brands. I have temperamental, bump-prone skin that hates being shaved, so I never expect a perfect shave from any razor, but was interested in giving these a shot. As you can see from my comparison photo, these new heads are shaped very differently than the original Preserve Shave 5 heads. They're slimmer and more compact, and lack the soap bar of the originals. Personally, I didn't miss the soap bar - I've always felt it is way too slimy/gunky the first couple shaves, and useless the rest of the time. In all other ways, I felt that this blade was equal to the originals. It gave me a decent (if imperfect) shave and didn't cause any irritation (beyond what my skin whines about regularly). Price-wise, these seem comparable to the original heads (at least on Amazon). As another reviewer said, it's probably not worth switching from the razors you already use unless being eco-friendly is very important to you, but if you've been using Preserve all along like I have, these might be worth the switch.

I love these razors, the handle doesn't slip in my hand, the razor heads are light, it gives a nice smooth shave and they're obviously marketed as better for the planet which I love!

it does the job.

Razor works very well and seems like a better choice than using a new plastic product

I use these because of my nickel allergy. The lubricating strip used to be vitamin e and now they are aloe. I emailed the company and so far all they have said to me is that these are only sold on Amazon. I’ll have to find another safe razor.
