Only used it a few times so far, but I'm very impressed!
I bought and tried this razor for a few reasons. 1. I hated paying too much for Gillette Mach 3 razors (they do a great job but are too expensive). 2. I'd much rather support an Australian business (not a multi national with questionable ethics) if I could get the same quality at a similar or better price. 3. They put money back into the community (Beehive Industries). As I said, I have only used this a few times so far but I'm very impressed. The first time I hadn't shaved for a week as I'd been on holiday but the shave was smooth and every bi...
Read moret as good as the Mach 3. The razor head is a bit bulkier, and will probably take a bit of getting used to, but it does have 5 blades and a blade on the back which is good for under the nose and sideburns, so kind of negates the larger size of the razor cartridges. The handle is comfortable and well balanced, and looks good on my sink. I'll update this review if anything much changes as i've only used it a few times, but I love that this is an Australian owned product (pitty its not Australia made, but that's the world we live in {for now} that for me, is every bit as good as a Mach 3. I purchased this razor as part of a $49.00 "Luxury gift box", which was very nicely packaged but a bit of a waste on packaging as it was only for myself. It comes with 13 cartridges, 150ml shaving gel and a black handle and in my opinion, very good value. I haven't used the shaving gel yet but i'll add a review when I use it, with an update on my shaving experience. Dec 2020 update. I have now used this for almost 3 months and I am still very happy with it. The cartridges last well, but I do still prefer the smaller size of the Mach 3 cartridges. For me they make it just a bit easier when shaving sideburns. Not a big issue and certainly not enough for me to go back to buying Mach 3 razors, just giving you my honest opinion. I have only used the shaving gel once and it was ok. I do prefer a foaming gel but when I give it a proper test i'll update this.Purchased in for $49.

Great marketing. Average product
Purchased the $15 trial box from OSCAR after getting the proverbials with Dollar Shave Club.
First off, Bravo to OSCAR for their website and product marketing - ticks all the usual boxes for promising the world and then vastly under delivering - read "Made in Germany" "Thousands of reviews" "Thousands of happy customers" and all the other assorted hoo hah that generally goes with online products.
However funnily enough - not a single negative review is present....
Anywho, Razor and sample shaving gel arrived. Packaged beautifully. Ve...
Read morery impressive. Too bad the razor doesn't actually shave your face and the gel lathers to the same consistency as liquid soap. The razor head itself is a cheap bit of flexible plastic with a few semi sharp razors attached that clog up so quickly that its borderline useless after a few passes. Ive so far managed to endure trying to shave with it 3 times - so far I have had to both re-lather and re-shave my face with different products to ensure a clean shave. The razor handle is granted, quite a comfortable bit of equipment though.
Best shave in a long time
Switched from another subscription razor company that I’ve been with for years and it’s the best decision I’ve made in a long time. The shave is perfect and the razor quality is great. I’ll be sticking with Oscar for good.

Face never felt better!
The Oscar Razor is great - it fits comfortably in my hand, is easy to move across my face, and best of all, leaves my skin smooth without nicks! Cost effective auto replenish means that I'm never without a fresh blade or using one for more than a week!

Tailored solution
Over COVID I wasn’t shaving as regularly as usual. My blade usage was well down. No issue with Oscar. Rescheduled accordingly. All good. Refilled just in time and now fully stocked. Thank you.

Awesome and convenient.
The shavers are a fantastic quality and it is great to never have to worry about going to the shops for replacements. I am a long-running subscriber and will continue to be.

Great Shave & Excellent Value for Money
The blades & handle are excellent value for money and a great shave.
I've had the same handles for 2-3 years they are durable and work very well.
The blades are super sharp, don't blunt for days and very good quality!

High Quality product at great price
Provides the smoothest shave I have ever had without nicks or cuts, rinses out easily and lasts a long time. The handle is well designed and is easy to use.

Great blades good handle.
Great blades provide a nice shave at an excellent price.
Handle with a more robust connection gets 5 stars.
Some times the blade stays in the dispenser when replacing. Love it though.
Purchased in at Oscar razors for $11.99.

Great Products, amazing service!
Very durable high performance blades with well weighted handle.
Very responsive service. Sent an email on a Sunday, got a same day reply and a replacement handle & gel arrived that week!
Thoroughly Recommend
I used Oscar Razor 1.0, which was excellent. Recently upgraded to 2.0, and I can honestly say it is the best razor I've ever used (and as an old bloke, I've used many). Thoroughly recommend it.
I also appreciate the fact that Oscar Razor supports broader social inclusion by using www.beehiveindustries.com.au
Well done.

Great shave but difficult to handle
The gel is a no-no, especially compared with a good glycerine-based brush-and-lather; (yes longer, but worth it). The razor is one of the very best. I tried several after I had to give up on getting Schick Performer blades. The one problem is getting the blades to lift out of the holder. I can attache the razor - indeed, it can swing loose when held up after loading a blade - but getting the blade to release from the holder, no. 'have to use the tip of my cheese slice. (Other implements are available). Sort of tarnishes the experience.
Purchased in for $25.

Bad quality
Got it about a month ago. Bad shaving quality. Did not like. They send a reward of $5 if you write a review so I believe their good reviews are fake.
Purchased for $20.
Hey Bluebell & P,
Sorry to hear our razor did not work for you. We rarely ever get a 1-star review, so I wanted to reply personally as the Founder . ...
Read more With 4.7 stars from 2500+ reviews across our website, Google, Facebook and Product Review, I can assure you we are not bribing people. No one in their right mind would continue buying razors from us, ie. subscribe, just because they get a $5 credit against their next order. S The 'bribe' as you call it is just our way of saying Thank You to our customers. We're a small company and we like to look after our customers. There's plenty of businesses/products I buy that acknowledge my loyalty with some sort of reward. As the business owner, I can assure I'd never spend my own money bribing thousands of people if it was such a bad product. Sorry again that you did not enjoy the product. We'll happily refund you the $20 you feel you have 'wasted'. Just email us at info@oscarrazor.com Best regards and stay safe Oscar de Vries FounderHi Bluebell,
Just checking in again. We have not heard back from you and cannot find you on our database? ...

Not Great at all
Used the new type a couple of times, blunt after not even a shave, put at least 10 new blades in the bin along with the handles, very disappointed with them

Read morers from more than 2500 reviews. We've not seen a one-star review for as long as I can remember. Nor have we never had anyone complain about the razors being blunt after one shave..

Read moreat I said was true .....put the whole lot in the bin, your previous stock was in my Opinion far better !Hey Eamonn, that's so disappointing to hear. We can honestly say we have never had such negative feedback, so I do wonder your batch had a production issue? We respond quickly to customer feedback,...
Read more so if you had contacted us at the time, we would have replaced the stock and collected the 'faulty batch' to check whether there was an issue. Assume that bin has been collected by now...?Questions & Answers
Not so much a question but the website is pretty male oriented, when picking a plan it shows photos of men with stubble and assumes that’s the only area you’re shaving. Wouldn’t recommend for women seeing as they don’t seem to remember that we exist.
Hey Casuarina,
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to feel you're neglected, but rest assured we're onto it already. We're planning a new photoshoot, making the site a bit more inclusive. ...
Read more The male stubble images you referred to are there just as a reference guide. We could only choose one style of image and considering 78% of our customers are male, we chose those. Hope that explains. Cheers OscarGet an answer from our members and Oscar Razor representatives
