Watch This Before You Buy The Gillette Heated Razor 

Tried to use “futuristic” music but it sounds more like Stranger Things music…

I'm very disappointed that this doesn't have the Gillette vibrating motor, like my Gillette razor has. When they add the vibrating motor, I'll buy it.

Omg my brother gave this to me as a gift and I love it. I used to use hair removal cream and powder from soft-sheen but it always left some behind but when I used this it felt so smooth.

I always hear when the neighbor above me is shaving. The knocking noises on the edge of the sink to clean the razor in between are unmistakable.

Finally unbiased cool video. Keep it up .. subbed

That’s a lot of money and to consider the refill cartridges. Ouch. Great video Greg!

I bought this today. I have super sensitive skin, I can't use normal shaving techniques without getting folliculitis every single time. I have to use oil, not foam or gel and I have to use hot blades. I haven't tried it yet but this sounds promising to me. I will give it a go. Got a great deal on the razor and the blades. If I can shave without constantly having to heat my razor under the tap it might work. I never get shaving spots or folliculitis since using oil and heat. If I get spots, this fails.

Great video Greg! I have one of these Heated razors, but I have the “Bugatti edition “ one, given to me by my brother, who already had one that he won from a raffle at his job. So, he just bought a good bit of refills (I think 30, 40, can’t remember) and sent them together as a present. I’ll admit, it shaves good, but for me, it shaves better with creams ( Geo F Trumper Eucris, D R Harris Marlborough, Proraso Green out of the tube, etc). Don’t know why, but it seems like it clogged less and gave me a better shave. Will it replace DE razors? Nope, but it’s a wonderful alternative to have when your sunburned like I am in Florida, or need a quick shave and need no guess work.

Here in Australia these are retailing for $300 (about USD$200) and up to $10 a cartridge!

You definitely fell on your sword with this one. I’m sure we all appreciate you taking one for the team. I think Gillette finally lost their marbles. I can’t imagine very many people look at the price tag on that and think it’s a good value. Great video Greg!

I've used 5 blade razors before. They do clog way to easy. The best razor to me is the gillette sensor 3. I've got really thick hair on my face.

I enjoyed the video even though I have no interest whatsoever in cartridge razors - fun to watch - thank you sir - till the next one - cheers

Hi Greg, I have a question for you that has absolutely nothing to do with this video. Do you have a slant razor? If yes, how do you shave under the nose with it? I’m thinking of buying one but the ‘under the nose’ bit got me thinking. Perhaps if you have one you can do a video? Thanks.

Uh turn on the hot water faucet and hold your safety razor under it for a minute and save $170 and pay only around $8 for 100 blades

I am new to the razor community but I have been a gamer my whole life, I would say this how we feel when a mouse is full of RGB or holes in some cases ( some mice with holes are good) but we would prefer something solid , simplistic with good quality and that just works

Is this good for simple line ups not full shave?

Does this work on legs? To think I could be cutting myself with five blades at the same time instead of just one…

$150 for a razor that most of the electronical parts will stop working after a year or two if someone actually shaves with it every day. surprised it didn’t have the vibrating feature as well. 😂 I before I switched to DE razors I found normal brush and soap lather works better than the foam and gel stuff with the cartridge razors.

The original Mach 3 still the best cartridge razor ever made imo. Every time I buy one of these new 1700 blade w/buttwipe bar by the end I’m using my old mach 3 cuz these new 25lbs cartridges go flying when I knock it on the sink to unclog the damn thing AGAIN! My 3 never clogs, never goes Superman (pretty sure i could throw it at brick wall and the cartridge still wouldn’t come off).

Great one buddy!

@Shaving with Greg Tardif. Overprice as crap with cartridge refilling overprice too. Want warm or hot stays up for long period of time? Shaving scuttle mug cheaper and benefit

Wow, when you figure you can get a sleeve of 100 DE blades for $10 that fifty bucks for eight cartridges just sounds nuts. I could see spending $150 on a quality electric razor that will last for years, but it would be more economical to just get those cheap plastic single blade disposables made by BIC. By the way, love your shirt.

This is what happens when a product segment jumps the shark. First it was two blades, then three, then five, then a sixth blade on the back, then it learnt to vibrate, and finally to heat itself. Sounds more like a sex toy than a personal care product in any case.

Wow. I wish Gillette would spend their R&D dollars on new quality versions of the classics but that would eat into profits.

Lots of bucks for a cartridge razor. Back to the future!

Can you return it?

Great video Greg! Gillette and all of their gimmicks, lol. It's like the company was taken over by the marketing department rather than engineers. The "lubrication strip" gimmick always makes me lol. I think a heated razor gimmick is quite ridiculous really, but people believe in these gimmicks I guess.

It that’s the future, than call me Old Fashioned lolololol. Thanks for taking one for the team Greg, I think spending a good amount of coin on a Gillette is better spent on finding a nice vintage razor, from when they actually made razors. Have a great weekend Bud!

Love the music. Makes feel like I’m in a synthwave dance club. I wish Gillette would go back to its roots and make more DE razors. The Heritage and King C Gillette was awesome.

The new Gillette razor. Not only paying extra for the cartridges. But also for your electricity bill. 👍

Boy, what an expensive razor and blades!!! A heated razor...some people are so high maintenance. Glad I'm saving all this money by traditional wet shaving. It's not like I mind spending money on shipping fees to bring me all my money saving gear that you can't find in stores. It saves me the gas money of stopping by the store where I buy my groceries or prescriptions. Now, should I use TOBS, a tallow soap or a vegan soap? A brushless cream for a pre-shave, or oil? Badger, boar, or synth? Heated Perrier in the bottom of the scuttle so the bubbles give off more heat than plain old Evian or Voss? Rex Ambassador for the first pass, 6S for the 2nd, 6C for the 3rd and Fat Boy for pickups, and which of the 20+ varieties of blades should I choose for each one? For post, I've got something made by an actual witch named Hazel. #ShaveLikeYourGrandpa

$200.00 will buy a lot of hot dogs.

Now Gillette needs to come out with a heated and vibration razor.😂

I can’t say it don’t have a sexy design.

Cold water shave still 😂

Nice review. Gillette R&D has to produce something and this new gimmick was it. Way too expensive. This will flop. If anything This will likely cause more irritation with folks from the heat.

I don’t trust anyone who proudly displays their unicorn calendar!!!! LOL!!! 😂

Howdy Greg! What’s the saying? “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” 😏

No way I'll ever try another cartridge it ruins everything😂

❤

Loved the video hated the razor. That has to be the most gimmicky thing Gillette has ever produced. Where will it all end? I am going to build a 12 bladed razor with a 2 cycle engine and a muffler that automatically dispenses lather and after shave with the push of a button. I thought of using a kickstarter, but decided to go with just a pull rope to save cost. It will also have a pressure washer built in to rinse the face. Just wait, you'll love it!! 😅

Interesting 🤨

To expensive not a good razor either 😢 i went back to harry

This is gonna be a big no from me, dawg…. 😁Anything electronic Will probably not last more than a couple of years and then you’ll have to buy another one, I prefer the old-school heating up my face with hot water and lather, and I will never go back to another cartridge Razor because the cost savings and shave quality with DE razors absolutely destroys any reason to ever use a cartridge razor, ever again.

good review some of the other youtube vids seem like Gillette paid...complete rip off for that price it should vibrate too

You said it perfectly, “a gimmick,” it just makes me snarl at the idea. I don’t understand why anyone would pay ANY amount of money for this ridiculousness. Seriously, “hot towel feel?” I am new to DE wet shaving-just over a year. I have never experienced a more confortable shave in my life! And I daily shave! I could NEVER daily shave with a cartridge razor. And I dreaded shopping for cartridges-just made me sick dishing out 20 or 40 dollars for 5 or 10 razors. Just ridiculous. Anyhow, never again will I use the cartridge razor. Thank you Greg for the video. Just reminds me of how much I hate cartridge razors and LOVE DE SHAVING! 😂

It’s funny. When people with the proper knowledge try out a cartridge razor, they go back to canned cheap goo (by the way Proraso’s canned goo in yellow, red and blue is superb) and review their cartridge razor instead of using similar shaving gear and prep as when they use a DE razor. Why ? Because they want to remind themselves of how bad their shaves were in the old days ? I use a Fusion 5 and many DE razors, Fusion 5 for the first pass, the DE razor for the second pass plus touch up and get awesome shaves that way. Why is it that DE and SE razor fans love to talk down on cartridge razor shaving, when most of the male population do excellent with electric shavers and cartridge razors ? Thumb strop your cartridge, apply a proper shaving soap build with a shaving brush and apply your proper DE razor shaving technique to a Fusion 5, and you’ll get EXCELLENT shaves. Yeah you need to rinse a cartridge more often to avoid clogging, but once you learn to thumb strop it and shave with the right technique - nothing beats it. I own several DE razor which cost more than $200, no one complains about their price. But a heated Gillette razor priced at $200 can set the traditional wet shaving community on fire. Hmmmmm………

Won’t waste my money. Thanks Greg!

Imagine believing you need a plastic razor with 5 dull blades to shave. Also, if I wanted a "hot towel" shave, wouldn't I just use a hot towel with hot water?

No. No. Nope. Nah. No. HELL NO! Have an awesome day mayne.

Nope! I'll take my DE razors all day long. NEVER going back to cartridge razors. Waste of money, and can't even come close to the closeness of a DE shave.

Cartridge razors are 100% marketing and provide a worse shave with more irritation than a safety razor that costs less than $1/blade. Total scam that keeps getting more ridiculous. The Bugatti heated razor for $170 😂😂😂😂. Buy PG stock, those guys know how to make money!

Not ugly at all bro, lookin’ spruce! This think is absolutely bonkers. Glad somebody bought it 😉

“Still ugly”… bruh, we love you and all your brothers here think you’re a 10/10. Get outta here with that BS 😂

Gillette are good at marketing gimmicks to con shavers into getting a new expensive razor that needs even more expensive blades. Not a razor I will add to my want list.👍😎🤟

Couldn't be better explained. 150$ hahahaha! We both know what's a high-end razor for that budget. 😎👍🏼

Save your money, this razor is crap. After a year, stops working. Searched web for solutions and lots of folks have same issue. Gillette resolution is offer 30% off for a replacement. Well, still over $100 and not worth is for just another year.

Screw this junk they can add 15 blades lll never use anything but de razors. Ever again. Future of shaving is in the past. Might go to straight edge next

*Who else said just shut up* 😮

I thought that your video was overly and unnecessarily theatrical and rambling

Like all of us, I migrated from carts to DE shaving. It took some time to learn the skills, but the shaves I get now are far superior to those I used to get from the carts (Mach 3 was my preferred system). BUT wet shaving takes longer, and even slight inattention can lead to nicks and irritation. The acid test for me is how a razor performs on my neck (because shaving one’s cheeks is easy as, and good performance on cheeks don’t mean nuthin). Did the heated razor give you an irritation free shave on your neck? If it did (and you said it shaved your chin well), then it’s a thumbs up. I must say, your face didn’t look irritated at all! As for the cost - man, wet shaving is a money pit! If we only used one DE razor, one brush and one soap at a time, then maybe… But we all know that’s not how we ride. In summary, I’ve only ever heard good things about the heated razor, so it might be worth getting one to include it in my rotation. I’ll think about it…. Cheers. 👍🪒
