Friction Free Shaving Subscription Service - Review




This is the start of a new era for me... an era of shaving. I mean it isn't like I don't shave my legs at all, just not as often as I probably should. Well, let me tell you that is in the past. I came across an advert for a monthly subscription box for razors. I'm not gonna lie when I say I was mainly drawn to it by the colour (its rose gold 😍). But it seemed like a pretty good idea, so I decided to give it a go.

What is it?

Friction Free Shaving (FFS) is a subscription box where you get 4 razor blade cartridges (and optional shaving foam) delivered to your door monthly. The subscription that I chose was the 'Rose' razor, it has 6 blades plus a bikini blade on the top for the hard to reach places. This one cost me £9.00, however I found a discount code online which made it £6.75 in total. I recommend looking for discount codes, however I think it may just be for your first order. Speaking of discount codes, everyone gets their own to share with family and friends, they get 25% off. Mine is 0Y92YP (in case you were wondering).

There is also another razor called 'Frankie' which is slightly cheaper, at £5.00 a month you may want to go for this option if you don't want to spend as much on a razor.

The good thing about this is, you can pause your subscription if you find out you have enough blades, and don't want to pay out for another month. This was quite important to me as I don't want to be shelling out unnecessarily.

Performance

I have to say, this beats my normal disposable razor by far, I shaved my legs 2 days ago and they still feel so so smooth! It probably has something to do with the amount of blades it has. My normal razors usually have 4 or 5, so it really does make the difference. I didn't get any cuts and the razor glided on my legs smoothly, it was a good shave.



Overall

I have to say, I do think this is good value for money, a good quality razor and blades for £9.00 a month. I have to say, I don't think I will need to get blades cartridges every month as I think 4 will last me quite a while. I personally didn't opt for the £6.00 shaving foam, as I did find that a bit pricey to pay out for every month. You can get a cheaper one in Boots or Superdrug.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Let me know your thoughts in the comments, do you think its worth it?
