Buying Guide

Match cartridges to your razor handle

Confirm compatibility with your existing razor—brands like Gillette and PHILIPS use distinct mounting systems that are not interchangeable

Consider blade count and cartridge design

Multi-blade cartridges (3–5 blades) and features like lubricating strips or pivoting heads affect closeness and comfort for different hair types

Evaluate cartridge quantity vs. cost

Larger packs spread cost over more shaves; compare per-blade value rather than just pack price when choosing refills

Check suitability for sensitive skin

Look for lubricating strips, rounded edges, and fewer tugging reports in user ratings to reduce irritation on sensitive skin

Factor replacement frequency and maintenance

Hard water and coarse hair shorten blade life—plan replacements based on your shave frequency and local water conditions
