Gillette Labs Heated Razor

husband review:I bought this as a treat for myself as I have found my experience of shaving to become mundane. I therefore decided to buy this product to allow me to enjoy shaving again.It is firstly, super easy to charge and very portable to get around, with a carry round case, meaning that it is ideal for travelling.Upon using, the heating option for the razor feels amazing. It genuinely feels like a hot towel with every stroke. Like with all Gillette razors, the quality of the actual razor is second to none and I feel assured that given this is a durable product, it has a long life and will pay for itself over time.

I've been using this heated razor for well over a year now. Blades last amazingly well by the way. It is always a pleasure and in fact a treat to use this razor. Shaving has become not only quicker but infinitely more enjoyable.Here's the real truth---I would not have purchased this razor because of the price. My wife gave it to ma s a Christmas gift. I will be forever grateful to her and strongly recommend this to anyone else---this is a true innovation in shaving. I would definitely buy the product now having used it.

Almost Perfect

Overall the razor does give an excellent shave. Not sure yet (only used for two weeks) how beneficial the heated facility effect improved the experience. Will try an evening shave rather than early morning. Personally I would prefer the packaging was less glamorous, particularly when purchased directly online from Gillette. Maybe alternatives could be used when not being sold through a shop. Minor I know, but it just gets thrown away, cost with no real benefit. However I would recommend the Gilletlabs Heated Razor.

Expensive, but my best shave yet

At just shy of £150, this razor is definitely not an easy impulse purchase compared to the usual manual razors. However, if like myself you struggle with shaving, then perhaps it is worth the investment.I have very sensitive skin, and usually find myself in quite a bit of pain after a close shave. My greatest success so far has ben to have a hot, wet shave using a Gilette Fusion – although even this isn’t exactly perfect.This heated razor, however, has really impressed me so far – the heated bar, especially on the higher 50C setting (although it takes a while to get to this heat), really does seem to help keep my pores open and allow for an effortless close shave whilst keeping my skin from flaring up. Most of the features are similar to other Gilette razors – ... MoreAt just shy of £150, this razor is definitely not an easy impulse purchase compared to the usual manual razors.

Most of the features are similar to other Gilette razors – the FlexDisc allows for hard-to-reach areas to be shaved with ease, and the 5 closely-packed blades to get right down to the skin; the heat really is the icing on the cake.As it is heated, there is that additional issue of charging as opposed to the usual razor, but the premium magnetic charger does make this very simple – just a case of placing it on there upright and leaving it for an hour or so. All of it is very transportable too, and you probably don’t need the charger if going on a short trip (and I guess you could always use it without the heating bar on), so there isn’t too much hassle after all.With its high price, you do definitely get a premium product – it feels very sturdy (it is quite heavy, mind!), and I get the impression it would last a long time. I love the small features too – from the expensive-looking box it comes in through to the LED lights that glow when it is on/charging.Whilst I think the blades are slightly better than the standard Gilette ones, my main – and perhaps only – gripe is the price of replacement heads; after spending nearly £150 on a razor, it does seem quite a lot to have to fork out £45 for 8 replacement heads. When the results are this good, however, perhaps that is just the price I will have to face up and pay.

Fantastic Razor with very poor customer service

Bought for Christmas 2020. Worked beautifully until April 2021. Had mechanical issue. Sent it to their repair shop in Toronto. Fixed after a week. Broke again after just over a year (Sep 2022). Blinking orange light. Not charging, not functioning. Called customer service. Offered 30% off the new one for $250. Promised to be reviewed by the brand manager but no phone call back. There is no way I will buy Gillette Labs product again. Owned all of their products for the last 15 years or so (vibrating, rotating and even flashing). Always received an excellent support and help. This time something went wrong with the Lab :-). Better be ready to spend a ton of $ and get only very limited warranty.

Gillette Labs Heated Razor

The Gillette Labs Heated Razor is a terribly designed product and made to fail prematurely. I received the razor as a gift in Dec 2020. Whenit failed 9 months later I was embarrassed to ask for the sales receipt yo have it replaced underwarranty.I waited 8 weeks for the replacement razor. Now 6 months later it has also failed. Gillette will not replace the defective unit a second time.I have used Gillette products for over 60 years and am thoroughly disappointed in their customer service and of course the product design. It is very poor quality. Fo not waste your money on the Heated Razor as it is a lemon.

Mach 3 Turbo

I have been a user of Gillette products for years. The last several years I have been using Fusion razors and gel and find the products were excellent. I recently purchased from Costco a Mach 3 Turbo with the 20 refill cartridges. The Mach 3 is very disappointing, I don't get a close shave and the handle gets slippery. I'm surprised that Gillette would produce this razor and that Costco would sell it. I would recommend Gillette products that I have used however not this one.

Nice Piece of Kit

My husband has always been a loyal Gillette user. This is a step up on the excellent Fusion with the heat feature that yields a close, smooth and professional shave. My husband informs me that it is a delight to use and both soothing and effective. Certainly a pricey investment but online there are deals and discounts to be had for the discriminating purchaser as well as bundle offers and free gifts. Appearance wise this is chic and cutting edge which gives kudos to what might be seen as a basic self care item. A product where elegant form twins with functionality.

Stay away from this razor

I purchased this $150 + razor a little over a year ago. The razor stopped charging and producing the heat that it's featured to do. When I called customer support they said they would look into this and give me a call back. Customer service never returned my call and when I contacted them this morning they stated I was past the warranty date and would offer me to sell the exact same razor for 30% OFF instead of replacing the defective product. That's OK Gillette, I will use one of your competitors products for the rest of my life and throw away all the Gillette products I currently own.

Very Interesting

I ordered my new Heated Razor online, however the delivery was not successful. When I contacted Gillette customer services and they quickly rearranged a new delivery. My new razor finally arrived and I opened the box. Gillette have taken inspiration from Apple and Samsung, in that the razor is packaged in a high quality box with three layers that reveal the razor, the charger instructions etc. You even have to hold the edge of the box and wait for the 2-3 seconds while the inner box gently slips out onto the table. The quality of the whole package is evident, the razor head heats up quickly and provides fir a smooth shave. My previous razor was the Gillette Fusion Power with the vibrating razor head.

The heated razor is an excellent razor and gives a very smooth shave, although I do miss the vibrating head, maybe Gillette will offer this enhancement in future? Gillette keeps innovating and I love that the new razor is so slick and enjoyable to use. I don't mind the price, quality costs, all of the numpties that buy the razor and then whinge about the price can buy a disposable bic razor and save their money. If you love a great shave get a Gillette heated razor (or a Gillette Fusion Power)! The Best a Man can get apparently!
