Product Review: Infinity Razor Just Doesn't Cut It
The Infinity Razor is marketed as "The Last Razor You Will Ever Buy" because if its super sharp and durable steel blades. The blades may be durable, but they are far from sharp. The first test was on an adult male beard. The razor dragged and pulled like a cheap single blade disposable razor, making for a very uncomfortable shave, even with plenty of shaving cream. The worst thing wasn't the discomfort, though. Even after all the pulling and tugging, there was still visible stubble. It took three trips over the same area to remove all of the stubble. Late in the afternoon, a shadow reappeared. The Infinity Razor just doesn't cut as close as a regular twin blade razor and was certainly no match for a triple or quad blade razor. For men, the product just isn't worth the time, trouble or money.
The next test was on female legs. The hair was not as coarse or as long, so the Infinity Razor should have provided better results, but the results were similar to what was experienced with facial hair. The razor didn't touch the shortest hairs at all on the first pass. It took two passes over the areas with the heaviest growth and three and, in some cases four, on areas with the shortest hair. The Infinity Razor did not glide smoothly over the skin, and the skin was left feeling slightly raw. After such bad experiences with the first two tests, the Infinity Razor was not tested on underarm or bikini line hair.
For $19.95, you can receive one Infinity Razor, with a second razor free plus the cost of shipping If ordered from the infomercial, you receive two bonuses: an Infinity Micro Trimmer and an Infinity Chef Knife. There is a money back guarantee, but as usual with infomercials, the $8.95 shipping charge is not refunded. While a lifetime razor sounds like a great idea, it fails in its execution.

Noxzema Triple-blade Razors for Women: A Review
I saw the Noxzema Triple-blade razors in at Walmart when I was grocery shopping last week. They looked really attractive, and they looked to be ergonomically designed.

Post a CommentThis is the last razor I will ever buy. From them.
I've used it twice. Now it's in the trash.
I work at a discount retail store, and purchased one of these today after being intrigued by it for a few weeks. I payed a whole lot less then most, but I am glad I read this before opening it, since now I can return it.
Pure Garbage. I work for a liquidation company in Canada. I bought the Infinity Razor for $3.90 plus tax. Tried it on two days worth of wiskers, well prepared for shaving. It pulled too much, did not cut well and left wiskers not cut for the most part. I switched back to my Gillette Trak II half way through the shave and it felt better with a four day old blade. I'll stick with what works. Infinity Razor is a scam.
I bought it for my husband, paid $28.00 US for it, yeah they have a problem with prices here in the Bahamas. It is like any other no good razor, these people are selling a lie!
in the '60's, the classifieds also posted an item w/lifetime guarantee...for $1.00...flykiller. When rec'd by parcel post, one discovered they had purchased 2 small blocks of wood with an X painted on one side and the notation "PLACE FLY HERE". made in the USA too!
Total piece of crap. I bought 2 before I read the reviews. Mine came with this strange chunk of metal in the package (bought it at CVS) so I thought there was some weird way to sharpen it or something since it was so dull. I have no idea why that chunk of metal was in there but don't waste your money. I got razor burn and i didn't even get a close shave. You'd get a better shave with one of those single-blade cheapy ones you can get at the dollar store.
It looks like we all suffered the same consequences. I bought the razor at CVS, but used a 7.50 discount I had from the store. I spent 2.49 plus tax and still got ripped off with this product. I was looking for instructions on how to use the razor since the shave this morning was so poor. I thought maybe there was a special technique. I came across this site while I was looking for the invisible instructions. I hope the trimmer works better so maybe I can recoup some of my money on this lousy investement. DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Infinity Razor??? What a joke! I just purchased an Infinity Razor from Wal-Mart for $ 9.88. It is the biggest piece of junk I've ever purchased. I have a heavy beard and even lathered up with a good shaving gel, the dull blade pulled and tugged at my beard. It was the most painful shave I've ever experienced in my life. Whenever I was "finished", I was bleeding and still needed a shave. If you have plans on using this razor for a lifetime, then you better buy a lifetime supply of styptic pencils. Here's the real kicker. In order to get a replacement (and who'd want one???) you have to send back the shitty razor with a letter stating the reason for the dissatisfaction plus you will need to send a $4.99 check or money order to THEM in order to cover their shipping and handling. Bottom line is that you'd spend more getting a replacement than you originally paid for the razor. These "As Seen On TV" products have turned ripping off people into a real art! Buyers beware!
I bought on of these pieces of crap too. After 3 times shaving with it, I can't use it anymore because of the razor burn I got. Does anyone know what we can do about this to get our money back, file against them?
Thanks, ya'll. Your reviews are overwhelmingly negative on this product and without ever seeing it I know it's a piece of junk. You saved me from wasting my hard earned money on a company that eats their victims alive.
