[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great stocking stuffer

I've been a fan of these 5-blade razors for over ten years. I've owned the previous model that vibrated and had a blue light. Unfortunately, the light stopped working, but it still vibrated, lasting around five years. I went to the Art of Shaving store to find they no longer had that model, and this was the replacement. It still has an excellent feel, but I noticed the button wasn't easy to press and got stuck occasionally. After about eight months, it just stopped vibrating. This feedback might be a bit late, but I thought of getting a replacement and recalled my experience. When I spoke to the manager at the store, they told me there was nothing he could do without the box and receipt. And I don't think I will make the same mistake and get these extremely expensive, below-pharmacy-quality disposable razor holders any longer. Do yourself a favor and save your money.

I tried using a double edge razor because of all the reviews I read and the videos on you tube. No matter what I tried I have never had a shave as close and comfortable with any razor as the shave I consistently get with the " Lexington " and Gillette fusion pro glide cartridges. My beard grows at different angles all over my face and this system is superior to anything I have tried.

While this technology works well, the lexington razor handle offers little more than what you get with a $12.00 Gillette over the counter handle. The Gillette OTC handle is metal, slightly heavier than the lexington, and includes rubber grips to improve handling when the razor is wet. The major disappointments with the lexington is that they use the same cheesy plastic orange flexball, and they include prominent branding along the bottom of the razor. For 10 times the price of the OTC version, I expected higher end materials throughout the entire razor, and understated branding. This is all apparent in the photos, however this item was a gift from my wife (she's equally disappointed in the lack of quality in the product).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lexington Collection Razor which comes with the The Art of Shaving® Lexington Gift Set is absolutely beautiful. The razor is a Gillette® Flexball™ razor blade attached to an awesome razor handle with a distinctive black satin finish with chrome plated accents over zinc. The best part of this gift set has got to be the razor. I knew right away that I had a quality product once I picked up the razor! The razor has a nice weight to it which I find helps with the handling. I can't really say much for the razor blade since it's a Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide® blade. If you have ever shaved with a Gillette® blade, you know you'll be getting a nice close shave. My only critique of this razor is the orange from the Gillette® Flexball™. Although orange goes well with the black, it somewhat "cheapens" the look of this awesome razor handle. I just wish that they had made it a chrome or zinc finish to make it even more sleek.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Flexball had me a bit skeptical as it seemed it could be more of a marketing gimmick than an actually beneficial technology in the the razor's handle, but I'm glad to say this was still not the case. I've used a similar razor previously and this one had some improvements on that technology, like a better grip and sturdier build. I can't say I loved the blades it included but simply pairing the razor with blades of my preference will result in a win.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used razors like this before. Nice and close shave. A nice compliment to a nice set. I think if the roller ball was a brown color instead of the orange color it would have looked more professional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in complete awe of this razor that I received for free for my honest feedback from BzzAgent. I never knew a razor could be such an important factor in my life and make my life much easier. This new razor that definitely makes shaving an art in my book. It has a pivot ball that helps the razor move and glide along my face while I shave. I no longer have a problem shaving around certain areas on my face that was hard to get that clean, close shave. This razor makes shaving effortless and actually enjoyable. The engraved handle also is a nice addition to it making it even more special. This new razor makes my old Mach 3 razor look like a joke and my old Mach 3 is now exiled with all the other useless old razors I do not use anymore. The only problem I have with this razor is keeping my wife from using it.
