I was given a starter pack of these to try in exchange for an honest review last year, and I was waiting to put in my review as I was comparing it alongside another heavily recommended drugstore brand. I have to say, this brand wins hands down. The smoothness of the shave with these sticks, the comfort and grip of the handle, the ease of getting different angles and the number of times I've been able to use it without getting any cuts has been incredible. I haven't even had to try the spare blade yet because the first one keeps on giving. I'll definitely be buying the replacement blades from here when I need them, and the recycling aspect is just another added bonus. You won't be disappointed with this purchase folks :)
