ALDI Prince Calibre 6 Razor Blade System

Safety cover for blades, excellent. Handle a bit heavy and slippery when wet. Blades appear to be angled wrong, poor shave compared with the 5 blade Prince Maximum which is a 10 out of 10 in all aspects.

If you are a bald and are wanting to use this blades to shave your head don’t. I have cut my head badly twice in 2 weeks, if you accidentally apply a little to much pressure the blades just dig in. I have used Gillette Mach 3 for years and have never had this issues. Show details

Terrible product – The first shave with these blades is good but they dull very very quickly after that. They’re cheap for a reason. I’m a fan of Aldi in general but Do Not recommend these blades. Show details

Best I've Ever Tried – I'd been using the Aldi Prince 5-blade system for years, and bought a 6-blade set in about 2021 when it was on special with 12 cartridges. The 5-blade system lasts me about a month per cartridge, and I'd been very happy with it. But I started using the 6-blade system only a week ago, when my 5-blade cartridges ran out. The Aldi Prince Calibre 6 Razor Blade System is something else!! The steel makers in Solingen, Germany still know their stuff!!! Show details

Good razor – Close shave get 2 shaves from 1 cartridge great value money recommend Show details

One of Aldi's best products – I purchased these razors yesterday and am very happy with my shave this morning. The 6 blades made it cut smooth and close. No nicks or grazes. Couldn't be more pleased for the quality at the price point. Show details

Aldi brand Prince Maximum 3 Blade Disposable Razors 8pk – I have some simple advice for those who are considering purchasing the "Prince Maximum 3 Blade Disposable Razors 8pk" from Aldi, Dont. You are better off getting a butter knife and sharpening it with a rock, Its basically the same experience. Absolutely the worst shaving experience I have ever had to go through. Show details

6-blade system incompatible with 5-blade system – I have loved & used the ALDI 5-blade system for a while but now its been tossed out & replaced with a 6-blade system. The 5-blade handle can't use the 6-blade cartridges. This must be at least the third time ALDI has replaced its shaver line. I'm going elsewhere now. Show details

blunt – hard to shave even very short beard. I bought aldi calibre razor with 5 layor blade several years ago without model number, it's very painful to shave even new grown beard, soon I had to abandon it. Show details

Best shave ever – I switched to Prince 6 Calibire 6 months ago. Still on my first blade .. amazing. I am amazed at the product. Yes yes yes yes filling out words to be allowed to post. Show details

The ultimate shave – Tried every razor on the market to find the ultimate shave Found this one stopped looking As with any shave go slow and you’ll experience the best shave ever,for a lot cheaper than well known brands.

Excel vs Prince – After 10 years as an excel fan I made the change to Prince 6 for price purposes. For someone who shaves their head 2-3 times a week I'm really impressed with the smoothness and heavy razor itself. Value for money 9/10. Show details

Hands down the best Razor i've ever used! – I have VERY coarse hair and so have very sensitive skin, I stop shaving my face since and grew a beard BUT I was going bald so I started shaving my head, I would always cut my head with the Gillette Razor and it was expensive as they didn't last long. These Aldi branded Razors are the best, they last forever and work extremely well. CAUTION: DO… Read more

NOT bang the razor to remove hair, this can dislodge the blades. I've done this and it took of several layers of skin.

One of the Worst Razor I have EVER tested – I just wanted to test the other brand of Blades instead of Gillette and bought this item with 6 blades! but interestingly it had very low quality and I could use each Blade just one time! Not recommended  Show details

Ok but not as good as Gillette – I bought this as the Gillette equivalent is expensive and if it saves me a few dollars that's great. I've been using the Aldi razor for about 6 months now and on my 5th blade. The blades last a decent amount of time, I shave in the shower so I get about a month out of a blade. Having said that, even when new they don't shave as close or as… Read more

consistently as the Gillette, I have to use the single blade on the back of the head to finish my shave as the multiblade misses the occasional bristle and doesn't cope well with bristle direction change. I find I'm taking a long time with this razor to make sure I get a decent shave. The Gillette doesn't suffer from this. I feel i gave this razor a fair go and I think it's ok for the money but it doesn't compare to the Gillette for closeness and speed/ consistency

Caliber 6 Razor – Used Gillette for years but blades expensive. Thought I’d try this razor and so far am very pleased with it. Still using the first blade after a month and getting a close shave. Very happy. Show details

Prince Calibre – Best shaver ever and I don't understand some of the negative comments - great shave and long lasting so I highly recommend. I hope Aldi have still got this product or something very similar Show details

Not a good shaver; cut is only OK - blades dull very quickly – I purchased these after reading a couple of good reviews on Product Review. I would dispute those good reviews having found the blades only last a couple of shaves with accuracy, and even this varies from refill to refill? I was originally using a similar system from Woolworths called Edge and was truly satisfied with them - but could not find… Read more

them on shelves for a while; - they ARE back now and I'll go back too!

Pleased to see that Aldi's Prince system seems to be discontinued, I certainly would NOT buy them again! I guess there's a good reason for Aldi dropping or substituting them?

razor performance – I would not use buy or recommend this product absolute crap don't waste your money,you only get 1/2 a shave from each blade.so if you want two throw away your money go ahead.not worth one star Show details

12 months shaving off one blade..Still going. started using 22/12/2018 – I first used the blade on 22/12/2018 and still using the same blade today 26/12/2019 over 12 months later. Blade still smooth and no knicks. Still have 3 new ones in the pack. Show details

Blown away – Have used Mach3 all my life No more both head and face fully shaved blade is smooth to use I’m in shock how good honestly Need to get to Aldi to buy cartridges Show details

Best Blades ever used – Much better than Wilkinson! I have tried all the major brands. Aldi's shave closer, smoother and the cartridges last longer than all of the more expensive competitors. Thank you Aldi! Show details

Just another shaver – I have had better single blade disposable razors. Often have to shave twice to get a good shave even with only one day's growth and even then I can still feel stubble. Cartridge comes away from handle very easily when cleaning.

Quality product – Excellent shaving system. Without doubt the most efficient and long lasting I ever had. Its hard to believe how many full shaves you can achieve before the blades start to loose their edge

Best razor i have tried – I've been shaving my head for 30 years and I have tried all the major brands. Aldi's shave closer, smoother and the cartridges last longer than all of the more expensive competitors.

Over 300 shaves with out changing blade head – I purchased this shaver over 2 years ago and have shaved over 300 times without needing to change the blades. They have remained sharp. These are amazing and They are half the price of Gillette blades.

Prince Calibre 6 Blades – Sorry they are no longer available best blades I have ever used. I have was given them 2 years ago they are constantly sharp. Is there anywhere at Aldi I can purchase them or something similar.

Could be better- Need to improve – Hello, I am regular user of this shaving unit.Sharpness of blades is excellent.....but NEED TO IMPROVE THE GRIP BETWEEN THE CARTRIDGE AND THE HANDLE. It is terrible. During my shave , I drop this cartridge few times from the handle. Specially in winter while we use hot water to dip this cartridge to clean the devise. Grip between cartridge and… Read more

the handle which holds the cartridge is poor and needs to be improved.

Being a admirer of this product, I felt that I must write this on review.

Please give attention to my request and put New print on your product....."BETTER AND STRONGER GRIP"

Cheers

The new blades are no good – I have used the Prince 6 blade system for several years. Recently I have been cutting myself and or removing levels of skin leaving the face stinging in areas. I compared the old blades to the new blades, visually, except for the colours (old silver, new black) there does not appear to be any difference. However the quality of the new batch is inferior and dangerous, I won't be using them in the future. Chris

The best of shaves – I've been shaving for 53 years & for most of that time spent using a more expensive but similar quality blade. I was really pleased to find the Calibre 6 does the same job for third of the price.

The best multiblade cartridge – Pro: Price is half Gillette Fusion, Excellent for both a quick shave or a fussy close shave. Very long cartridge life. Comfortable shaver handle. Con: Some people don't like shopping at Aldi. Aldi could discontinue this without notice. No visible wear indicator The Prince Calibre 6 beats the Fusion at its own game. The reason (other than… Read more

marketing) that the Fusion has five blades is so a quick single-pass shave could do a good enough job. The Prince does much better than good enough at a single pass and needs very little repeat shaving for a perfectly close shave. I've used this cartridge for about a year and nicked myself only two or three times but NEVER deep enough to draw blood. I've used Mach 3s since they came out years ago and while they also nick only rarely when they do it's a deep cut.

Unlike the Mach 3 the Prince Calibre 6 doesn't clog (I use aerosol gel so other foams/oils/soaps might differ) and I can do at least 30 full shaves before the cartridge feels even a little blunt. Unlike other big-brand cartridges there is no indication of when to change the cartridge (Gillette has a coloured line on the lubricating strip).

Like the Fusion the Calibre 6 also has a single trimmer blade on the edge but I've never used that on either the Fusion or the Calibre 6.

I can't think how this could be improved and I see no reason to change to another cartridge.

The Calibre 6 is only compatible with its own handle.

My comparisons with Fusion cartridges were with current cartridges but the original handle - not the current ine with the ball joint.

Highly recommended. Worth a long drive if you don't have an Aldi nearby.

The best razor I've ever used – There's not much to say. I don't need shaving lather. Just soap on my neck (I have a beard) and a few easy strokes of the razor shaves smooth. I think it's the 6 blades. I've tried 2 blades and 3 blades but 6 is my best experience.
