Chic Shave Subscription Review & First Impressions

Chic Shave is the first of my 5 monthly subscriptions to arrive and from what it seems, the concept is similar to the dollarshave subscription for me. I really liked the packaging, which as you can see is adorable. There are 3 different types of razors to choose from: The Sapphire Lady; The Pink Lady; The Lady's Man. 







I, obviously, chose The Pink Lady mainly because it was the only razor option with more than 3 blades. The other two are blue with 3 blades, which is fine, but I prefer more. I used the razor for the first time last night and it did provide an extremely close shave and was moisturizing. As you can see in the photo above, it does have a pink strip surrounding the razor blades. The strip has vitamin E, aloe and botanical oil. The handle is really light. I don't know how I feel about the weight because my Quattro is heavier than this so that is what I am used to. I am going to try it out a few more times and decide how I really feel about it, and maybe if I am able to resubscribe.

The service is $9 a month and includes 2 razors cartridges each month. I ended up cancelling this service because I do not shave enough to make this subscription worth the cost. Plus, the razors I use are cheaper than these, but for those that use other higher end razors, such as one named after a planet, this might be worth it to you. I did deal with their help desk and their customer service rep, Evelet, was really kind.
