Defender Razor Reviews

I joined HighYa just so I could write a review about this amazing razor.

So I got my Defender Razor in the mail today and figured I'd try it out right away since I really wanted to see how it worked. I really felt that a 3-blade razor for $5 was no way going to give me any sort of a good shave, but I lathered up to try it out. I can honestly say I'm extremely impressed! The razor shaved me very smoothly and I didn't have to keep going over the same spot over and over. I was done shaving in no time. It's like my shaving time was cut in half.

Not one time did my razor clog up and it was super easy to clean. I'm definitely sold on this product. There is a couple of issues I wanted to point out though. The suction cup is kind of a bad idea for anyone that's had experience with suction cups before. They will eventually unhinged themselves and fall. The razor does feel pretty good in your hand, but it's kind of a mediocre quality. The razor cover is also kind of thin and weak.

However the minuses do not outweigh the pluses with this razor. Excellent shave, doesn't clog up, and cuts your shaving time in half, plus the cost is very low. I'm sold on it. I will be ordering more blades here in the near future. Good job Defender! I will be throwing away my 5-blade and 6-blade razors away.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have had my DEFENDER single blade for a month or a little more and I really love these blades and handle. After not shaving 3-5 days, as usual, these things cut through the stubble like a hot knife through butter. No joke! It takes fewer strokes too, so that helps my face not get irritated. Also, you'll be done shaving a lot quicker.

I honestly love these and will use these for as long as the company is in business! I am a genuine customer, and my review is no BS.

Everyone's needs vary, so as they say in the shaving world, "YMMV" (your mileage may vary,) but the developers did quite a lot right in my opinion.

1. The head flexes like a pivot head but with enough give to not force you to press too hard and cut yourself.
2. The triple blade design is plenty; 4-6 blades is expensive overkill.
3. The blades are spaced enough to prevent ingrown hairs. Essentially, you get a multiple pass shave (unlike a single blade, which requires re-lathering and is time-consuming) but in one sweep because the blades have space in between.
4. The blades are plenty sharp and last a while. They also don't cost an arm and a leg.

The result for me is an easier shave with a good result.

I received my new Defender Razor last night. I was very excited to try it. I had not shaved my head since the day I ordered it. I got into the shower last night for a long daunting task of shaving off a week's worth of hair (normally it takes close to 45 minutes). I was in and out of the shower right at 25 minutes.

This new razor just gave me the perfect smooth cut that I was hoping for. No burn, no clogging, and no special products needed. Just a smooth head was all that was left.

I really enjoyed using this razor and can't wait to use it again. I would recommend this razor to anyone that likes a close head shave.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am very impressed and have purchased many as gifts. I started out using this for my face and was so impressed that I use it for my head as well. It's almost effortless to get a close shave. The quality of the handle and blades is impressive. It seems that they definitely did their homework. I've tried all the other mail order companies and won't go back.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I had high hopes for this razor. I get razor burn often so the ads made me think this was the one for me. Maybe it's because I'm using it on my legs, bikini area and underarms instead of my head and face but I was not pleased. I still got razor burn but I didn't even feel like a got a "close shave," and the days between shaves are fewer. While using it, I almost can't feel the moisture strips. It feels like I'm just dragging hard plastic over my skin. I felt less irritation and a closer shave with my knock-off women's Venus. However, I will say the Defender Razor did pivot very nicely around my knees which my other razors don't do well. But for the overall experience, I'll be going back to my knock-offs.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been using a 5 blade razor that I have been fairly happy with. However, shaving my head with so many blades tends to give me razor burns if I shave too often. Defender razors have changed that with the unique design.

I get a very close shave, no razor burns and no cuts at all. The blades do rinse out easily and seem to last a long time. I have been a member of Dollar Shave Club and Harry's. I definitely like Defender the best. BTY, I use the sensitive blade.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This blade did get the job done, but I had some thoughts:

Pros

• Blades are affordable, even without the membership
• Blade is wider
• It's a very comfortable shave, very little friction, love the independent suspension

Cons

• The depth is too shallow, so you really need to work to get a good shave
• If you do work, to get depth, you WILL cut yourself
• With mine, it did keep clogging up. Requires a bit of rinsing to get it ready to use again
• Took a bit of experimenting to change blades out

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I got my new razor yesterday and used it right away.

I must say my first impression was that it was kind of lightweight.

I found that to be a total pleasure, and shaving with the Defender was very smooth and easy. The blades did not grab or pull, and it was very easy to clean. I highly recommend this razor above the five-bladed, much-advertised one that I had been using.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I received this razor in the mail yesterday and decided to try it out last night. After only three pulls across my face, I noticed immediate razor burn areas and my face felt like it had been sliced into tiny little wafers. I will be returning this horrible product for a refund and I suggest every man stay away from the Defender. It should be renamed "The Mauler". It is cheaply made and the blades are too thin (in depth) to cut actual facial hair.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I watched the ad and it made complete sense. It's not often when the claim matches the experience, and I must say I am very excited about this product now. I spend a fortune on brand new blades, as I often do not use them twice. Whether it is because my wife shaves her legs with them before I use them again, or I just like the concept of a "brand new" blade. However, due to the ability to clean this blade so thoroughly, I can see myself using each cartridge several times.

Happy Face.

The Defender Razor popped up as an advertisement on my Facebook feed randomly one day. Instead of passing over it like I do with all the Dollar Shave Club ridiculousness. Their video was straightforward and the technology seemed worth trying. I'm Navy and absolutely despise shaving. No razor has ever given me a pain-free, knick-free shave but the Schick​ Hydro 5 has been my go to until now. After trying these for a week I've been able to go against the grain every day with only extremely minor irritation. I did notice more comfort with the sensitive blades vs the normal blades, I don't think it's a placebo. I think I'm sticking with these for a while, I just can't justify paying $18 dollars for 4 cartridges anymore and these give me a top notch shave.

I currently have about 7 razors. From a straight edge to a 7 blade razor. I started shaving my head in the last year and have been looking for the best possible razor. I will say i love the Defender razor. At the base of my skull there is a dip. I'm pretty sure everyone has it but razors struggle to shave there which is a problem for me. I want my head to be perfectly smooth and it was taking me about a half hour or more to get my head as smooth as i want. First time trying the defender razor i was amazed. Every dip, every bump was shaved perfectly. I finished shaving my head in about 10 minutes with the Defender Razor. This is a great razor and not a scam.
