Thread: King of Shaves Hyperglide

What do you guys think? Will this be a revolution? The end of safety razors,straight razors,shaving creams,shaving soaps,after shaves, Gillette multi-blade?

It uses superhydrophilic technology, it doesn't require oils,creams, you can just use water.
They are currently investigating using the technology in other types of razors, including a double edge razor.

They are not up to 7 blades yet? Disappointing.

At 9.99 British pounds for 3 cartridges (better than $5.00 each), I know my disinterest meter is pegged!

It's still a multi blade cartridge, same as the Gillette Mach XXX. It has a bunch of little blades that gum up with hair, skin, shaving cream, and stays there to get crusty.

"Active-Flex hinge progressively presses the Hyperglide razor blades against your skin for a super close shave. So the harder you push, the closer the shave." This is that same thing as before. You have to press it hard against your face to get it to work, and you can't change the angle of blade attack based on hair growth direction. I will never forget how badly the my Gillette Mach razors abraded my skin, and that was only going WTG, with good shaving cream and prep! Cartridges are the same, no matter what kind of coating you put on them because they get dull and clogged.

Looking at this thing, I can almost feel the ingrown hairs starting to bury themselves under my skin again, like they did when I used a Gillette Mach a few years ago.

I'm sure lots of people will buy it, though. It seems like lots of guys get RAD, not just SR / DE shavers.

Interesting enough to give it a test drive, might have a use for travel.

Yea, certainly an option for sure.

In a word, no.

Looks different, even an interesting gimmick, might be cool for travelling as mentioned, but in the end, it's still a handle that demands you to feed it expensive, disposable cartridges.

No thanks.

personally, I'm waiting for the Warp Glide.
