‘Very best’ barber-grade razor now £13 gives ‘wonderful shave’

With New Year’s resolutions in full swing, many Brits have introduced new skincare and wellness routines to support their appearance and wellbeing. For those in need of updated grooming essentials, one brand has reduced prices across multiple products, with customers able to use the code CREMO25 at checkout until February 15.

Cremo is offering shoppers 25% off its entire range, creating the perfect chance to stock up on everyday staples. From razors and replacement cartridges to complete grooming sets, there’s something to suit every preference. Among the bestselling items is the Cremo Barber Grade Razor, which provides a ‘smooth, barbershop shave in the comfort of your own home’ now reduced from £16.95 to £12.72 after code. 

Each cartridge contains five robust blades, three layers of comfort coating, a coated guard bar and lubricating reservoirs of Cremo’s shaving cream formula. The brand states it’s suitable for combination skin and users’ complexions should be left feeling ‘soothed, balanced and refreshed’.

A practical complement to the razor would be the Cremo Barber Grade Razor Refills, which ordinarily cost £16.95 for four cartridges. With the discount code applied, the price drops to £12.72 as well, and these can be purchased via subscription, meaning shoppers don’t need to worry about reordering, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The Barber Grade Shaving Bundle is also on offer, reduced to £25.20 from its original price of £33.60 (RRP £44.85). The bundle includes the brand’s Barber Grade Razor, extra blades and the original shave cream.

One customer hailed it as ‘absolutely brilliant’.

Another option is the Cremo Shave Essentials Bundle, now available for £15.68 with the discount code, down from £20.90 (original RRP £27.90). This set comprises Cremo’s Barber Grade Razor and the original shave cream, which carries a subtle citrus scent that promises ‘a highly bright, fresh and enjoyable shave’, according to the website.

For those looking elsewhere, the Philips Wet and Dry Electric Shaver Series 3000 is available at Boots for £119.99. It boasts ’27 self-sharpening PowerCut Blades’ and can be used both wet and dry.

Boots claims it performs 55,000 cutting actions per minute and offers an hour of use from a 60-minute charge.

A pricier alternative available at Argos is the Braun 8603S Wet and Dry Shaver, priced at £400. Suitable for beards, body and head, it can be used wet or dry. It provides a 60-minute run time from a 60-minute charge and comes with a travel case, charger and cleaning brush.

Turning back to Cremo’s products, customers have been singing their praises. One shopper said: “Cremo barber grade razors are a cut above the rest. They give you a clean, close, comfortable shave every time. Shaving with the Cremo blades and their shave creams are truly a wonderful experience. (Get) the Cremo barber grade razors and shave creams today. You’ll be glad you did.”

Another shared in a longer review: “The very best in shaving is Cremo. My dad passed that onto me when I would watch him cut hair or give shaves in his barbershop in the 1960s through (to the) 1980s. I have since continued using Cremo and today find so many other products available (now) than were then. These barber grade razors are definitely one of them… Since switching to Cremo Barber Grade, the burn has gone and I have a great smooth shave with a quality product!”.

Some users offered constructive criticism, with one noting about the Cremo Barber Grade Razor: “I have been shaving for over 50 years! I love this razor, it’s the best one I’ve ever used. Prior to this razor I have used the Gillette razor, what I’m missing with your razor is that it does not have an edge trimmer on top of the blade. If you add that feature, I will give you a five star rating, but for now I would say 4.5.”

Another added: “Nice razor but it could use some enhanced engineering as the screw for the handle requires constant hand-tightening. Maybe a locking screw could fix it or just a solid handle?” On the whole, most were content. Another individual stated in an extended review: “I have used a multitude of cartridge razors and with my wirey facial hair, I have had yet to find a cartridge that could get everything just right. I thought I would have to settle on something else until I found Cremo’s razor and cartridges.”
