“Today I received my trial 5 blade razor and personalised handle with my initials on plus shave gel. The thing I noticed was the quality of the razor handle and being well balanced. The gel in itself is amazing as once I'd finished I notice there wasn't the usual irritation you get from shaving. Highly recommend and will buy from them in the near future...”

“This is a great idea as I'm sure it's true that most of us forget to buy and keep stocked on shaving products, but the most important thing is the blades and they are poor. First shave out of the pack with a fresh blade and the cut was harsh and burning even with a good amount of gel on. Left rashes and an uneven shave. Also the head movement and design is not dynamic and doesn't move well between different contours. I'd love to stay with the concept, but my face would not thank me for it. Will try again if you release a new razor and upgrade the blades. Back to the Quattro for now.”

I'm so sorry you were disappointed with our blades. We are working hard to bring you a new, improved razor and would love to welcome you back when this is ready.

“Can't fault this system. Sharp blades, comfortable shave. Be aware that if you live in a hard water area, as I do, the foam doesn't really,,. er... foam. Feels good though. And the gel is great too, although invisible on the face, at least where I live.”

Thank you for your kind words - pleased to hear that you're enjoying the shave overall. Our gel is designed to be transparent - a lot of our members like being able to see where they're shaving, but it can take some getting used to. Our shave cream is designed to lather though - sorry to hear it's not doing so for you, but glad it feels good :-) Happy shaving!

“Ladies I've never experienced a shave like it! Received the product via the 02 priority app and was a bit sceptical at first as I didn't want to be locked into another subscription but I have to say it's the best find of 2016! Smoothest legs and personal bits I've ever had! Boyfriend agrees too”

“I've been using Cornerstone since March 2016 ad have been really pleased with the product. The engraved handle is nicely finished, nicely balanced and comfortable to use. The blades are also very good and last well. Although I only tend to shave two or three times each week I am surprised that I've only just fitted the last of the six blades that came with the handle. I'm even more surprised given that my girlfriend recently confessed to regularly stealing my razor to shave her legs! My only criticism is that the blades are spaced a little too closely together on each head and clog very easily - they're great for a daily shave, just about cope with a shave every other day, but if I've got more than two day's growth I spend much longer unclogging the blade than I do actually shaving! I tend to use either an electric razor or a BIC to take away most of the growth and then use the Cornerstone to get that close, smooth finish.”

Thanks for the great review! We're really pleased you're enjoying the Cornerstone shave and are currently working hard on developing a new razor with improved blade spacing which will hopefully reduce the clogging issues you mentioned to us.

“Blade went blunt way to quickly and flexed to much. Found that I ended with sore skin and cuts in fact far more than I ever did with my previous razor. The way you purchase is also a very good marketing ploy. I found I was spending double the amount I was previously”

“You're paying for a fluffy marketing campaign. What more is that for a 'high quality product' that's had thousand of man hours poured into it's boring design, it arrived in a flimsy paper box. The shave was all right, not any better than what you'd get from a disposable that costs 30p. However, if you get a sense of validation or sense of being part of the club then sign up for regular delivery of razor blades and soap.”

“Just got my first box and had my first couple of shaves with the razor and shave gel. Have to say. Very impressed. Shave gel is great and razor is better than expected. Am about to purchase my brother a gift set from the website for Christmas. So will hopefully turn him into a fan as well!”

“Really like the concept, really like the idea of a small company having a go at the big boys, really like the razor handle. However the blades could barely shave the hair off my neck, let alone get through the shaving foam. Really disappointed – as mentioned in other reviews the blades clog up too easily with the foam and when I removed the foam from my neck the blades seemed to bend too easily so I had to press the blade harder into the skin to get it to shave – not ideal. Left me with a very patchy shave and a couple of cuts to add to it. Genuinely disappointed as I do wish the company well. However it is a big oversight to make – surely you must get the blades right first before anything else? I’ll be going back to my Gillette Fusion for now.”

Thanks very much for taking the time to leave us feedback and I'm so sorry you've had difficulties with your razor blades clogging. I would recommend rinsing them under hot water after each stroke to minimise this. You'll also be pleased to know we are currently working on a new razor which will have better blade spacing to prevent this (and it will include a single trimming blade at the back for an even smoother shave). I'm also sorry to hear you experienced irritation with our blades - if you send an email to the team at help@cornerstone.co.uk, they should be able to arrange a refund for you.

“Went blunt way way too quickly. "Precision ground to stay sharper for longer". Nope. Really didn't achieve that claim. Scrub is ok, balm is ok, shaving gel (although smells good) is really sub standard. At £14 for 6 blades I'll be going back to Gillette who I despise for over charging and throttling the market but they actually charge LESS.”

Thanks for your review and I'm sorry to hear you weren't overly enamoured with the shave. That is quite odd to hear about your blades being blunt as we normall get great feedback on them, we have also put together some tips on how to keep your blades sharp once in use here: http://blog.cornerstone.co.uk/three-easy-ways-to-keep-your-blades-sharp/. Apologies that you feel our products are too expensive - we have worked hard to offer a premium product at a high street price. Our pack of six blades is priced at £14 - as delivery is free this brings each razor head to £2.33 which is in line with similar products such as the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 or the Gillette ProGlide fusion.

“My partner bought me these razors to try. I have to say it's the best shave I've had for a while, so I treated myself to the box set hopefully that will live upto expectation. My partner said she wished they'd do a woman's range. Here's a referral link to get a razor set for £4 https://www.cornerstone.co.uk/7s0043”

Thanks for such a great review Shaun, I'm glad to hear that you have been convinced to give th rest of our products a go! I'm afraid we're not really looking into developing a women's range at the moment. However, we do have a good number of female members, who appreciate the great Cornerstone shave and personalised handle as much as the next man ;-)

“I so much wanted to like this product, and I thought when I had the first few shaves, that I had found it. Looks like i'll be going back to Gillette. The spacing on the blade is really poor and get clogged easily, and the blades blunt so quick its unbelievable! Also, the handle has tarnished quite easily. Quite a shame.... :(”

Hi Zee, I'm so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the Cornerstone shave. Our handles are made of aviation-grade aluminium which is light yet strong and should not corrode; you might however get watermarks. You may be pleased to hear though that we are currently working on a new razor which will include a more flexible head, better blade spacing and a single trimming blade at the back for an even smoother shave.
