I have bad luck with razors. Well….. actually, I am a clutz. Hmmm, I suppose I really am a clutz who also has bad luck with razors. I also really loathe getting waxed (effective, but ouch!) and can’t stand the smell of depilatories.
After slicing my legs up several times in a row with razors that are supposed to be some of the better ones (I hate the Venus Razor by the way), I went searching for something new.
Enter the Schick Intuition Plus Razor. This one is pretty unique. The razor has a soap/gel cartridge “thingy”–sorry, I have no idea what to call it– that surrounds the razor blade. this eliminates the need for shaving cream or gel. Instead, just wet it and start shaving. It keeps everything nicely lathered and soapy. It also moisturizes pretty well.
The blade itself is fine. I didn’t shred my legs with it anyway. The cartridge wears down at about the same rate as the blade, so they tend to give out about the same time. Adding a refill is simple, albeit a bit more expensive than replacing normal razor blades.
The razor also comes with a suction cup holder for the shower wall and a cap to keep the soapy thingy dry. I thought it would fall off pretty quick, but weeks later, it is still stuck there just fine.
This thing has saved my life.
OK, that is exaggerating…… It has saved my legs though!

I’ve actually tried the original Schick Intuition and wasn’t too impressed with it. I liked the “no need to lather before you shave” concept but I just wasn’t feelin it. You know?
But maybe I’ll give the Schick Intuition Plus a try and see how I like it.
And the original Venus Razors suck. The Venus Divine isn’t so bad. And the Schick Quattro seems to be doing a very good job for me (it’s new!). I haven’t gotten a cut yet!
I agree, I have used the Venus razors before and they’re kind of a joke. Hopefully these new Schick ones are better, I’ll have to give them a try!
Schick razors are awful. I used to work in the biz, and my whole office tried the Intuition. We all had cuts, and vowed to avoid the brand moving forward.
I absolutely LOVE this razor. I would rather let my hair grow than use another razor. I couldn’t be happier with it. My daughter is just starting to shave and it is so safe for her. It’s the only one she will use with any confidence. I’ll never buy another razor.
