Product Description
Amazon Basics 5-Blade MotionSphere Razor for Men features a multi pivot design to follow the contours of your face and a beard trimmer for shaving goatee, sideburns and under nose. The razor cartridge is hypoallergenic, includes a lubricating strip with vitamin E, and has an anti-clog design for quick rinse. To load refill cartridge, push razor handle into a cartridge as it sits in the dispenser until it clicks. Cartridges fit Amazon Basics Razor Handles only; does not fit other brands. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Prepare: Wash your face with warm water to remove dirt and oils. Apply a pre-shave oil (optional). 2. Lather: Apply shaving cream or gel to your face using a brush or directly with your hands. 3. Shave: Use a razor to shave in the direction of hair growth, using short and light strokes, rinsing the razor frequently. For a closer shave, you can reapply shaving cream/gel and shave against the grain (opposite direction of hair growth). However, be cautious as this may increase the risk of skin irritation or ingrown hairs. 4. Soothe: Rinse your face, pat dry, and apply an aftershave lotion or balm to moisturize and soothe the skin. 5. Store: Shake off excess water after use and store your razor in a clean, dry place.

Stop spending a fortune on the name brand razors. These razors are superior in quality and shave and dramatically less expensive. I've been using them for a few years how and could not be happier with the closeness of the shave, how long they last, and the amazing price point compared to the rip-off that the major shaving brands are.
After shaving, my face is smooth and clean, and my wife loves the results. Yours will too.
I highly recommend using these with the Cremo Barber Grade Original Shave Cream. The combination of these two products has made for the best shaves I've had in 4 decades of shaving.
Trust me, you will love this razor and you will love the money you still have in your pocket. It works flawlessly, lasts a long time, and is much cheaper than the name brands and works better than any of them.
Pro shaving tips from 4 decades of shaving:
Never shave upwards. When you do, you are pulling the hairs up and back and that causes them to invert and causes bumps. It may seem like you are getting a closer shave, but you are actually causing issues you have to deal with longer term. Just keep shaving on a downward stroke only.
After you lather your face up, let it sit. The longer it is on, the more pliable/softer your beard hairs will be and will make shaving much easier and closer.
Rinse your blade constantly. Every time you stroke the blade on your face, rinse the blade. Haris are stuck between the blades and they prevent you from getting a close shave.
When rinsing your blade, place the blade at the bottom of the falling water. Gravity and propulsion gives it more force to remove the hairs stuck between the blades.
Rinse both sides of the blade, not just one side, so you make sure to get the hairs out from in-between.
After shaving, dry the blades on your towel. Your blades will last much longer. Don't put the blades in a box or bag. Just leave it out to dry faster.
Hope this helps. Happy shaving!
Love,
Brad

That being said, Fusion 5 blades are really good but also really expensive.
These Amazon Basics 5-Blade MotionSphere Razor is every bit as good as the Gillette Fusion 5 but WAY less expensive. They are inexpensive enough that I may stop using my double-edged razor soon. The shaver is very close, comfortable and inexpensive. The ONLY CON is that the stubble that gets in between the blades does not rinse out as easily as the Gillette Fusion 5 blades.
Gillette has always been my favorite in terms of comfort and durability, but the price is absolutely ridiculous. It's criminal actually.
I switched to Dorco blades about a decade ago and they serve me really well. Dorco provides or at least used to provide blades for a lot of well-known brands and you could get those blades direct from Dorco for quite some time, which I did. The quality and price were unbeatable. Couple years ago that changed, I think they changed their business model and stopped offering DTC (direct to consumer) sales or at least made a very challenging to find how to order directly.
Anyway that led me to try in a whole crop of new blade brands and most were failures or at least not what I was looking for. Many of them had really dramatic changes to the blade angles or the spacing and that caused all sorts of issues for me and the way I shave, so I continued on the quest to find something comfortable. I really ended up liking a few different blades the Creamo brand was one that I really liked. Harry's was decent, but it really forced me to change my shaving style too much and if I went back to muscle memory you can forget about the skin on my face I was all torn up.
I haven't had a ton of success with Amazon branded products, but the price was right on these blades and they looked similar to Gillette so I thought I'd give him a try. Turns out this is my new favorite blade. I have tons and tons of other blades to get through. Probably 2 years worth, but I don't know that I'll ever get through those other blades cuz I keep replacing them with new Amazon blades.
Anyway this topic might not be interesting to some, but if you do shave and you are particular about how you shave and you're looking for a disposable rather than straight razor or safety razor or something, these are definitely worth giving a try in my opinion.
