Finding the perfect Father's Day gift for him can be tricky – but this £16 Cremo razor is earning five-star reviews from men switching away from big-name brands like Gillette
Discovering the ideal Father's Day gift can prove challenging, especially if you're seeking something both special and genuinely practical without overspending. A dependable, premium-quality razor is something numerous dads spend years pursuing, but we've found one £16 option that shavers are abandoning major brands for - and it's perfect for gifting on June 21.
Cremo has been enhancing bathroom routines since 2005 following their launch with shaving cream. Since its original debut, the brand has developed into a comprehensive range of men's grooming products, encompassing beard care, body wash, and fragrances.
However, it's their sophisticated Tortoiseshell Razor that men cannot stop praising for its 'smooth and close' shave. Presently discounted from £19.95 to £15.96, the premium-looking razor provides a traditional barbershop-style shave at home, making it an excellent gift for dads who are tired of disposable or inferior alternatives. The tortoiseshell effect handle is what typically captures attention, appearing considerably more expensive than its sale price indicates.
The weighted handle is engineered to enhance balance and control, while a pull-back precision trimmer assists in tidying sideburns, moustaches and difficult-to-reach areas. Naturally, the most crucial aspect of selecting a razor extends beyond mere aesthetics. Each cartridge boasts five hardwearing steel blades, three layers of comfort coating, a coated guard bar and lubricating pools infused with ingredients from Cremo's best-selling shave cream, designed to combat razor burn, nicks and irritation for a close and comfortable shave, reports the Mirror.
Tortoiseshell Razor Tortoiseshell Razor Each cartridge features five durable blades, three layers of comfort coating, a coated guard bar and lubricating pools with key ingredients from the Shave Cream formula From £15.96 Cremo Buy Now The razor also includes an additional refill, with further packs of four refills priced at £13.56, down from £16.95. At the promotional price, that amounts to £3.39 per cartridge. Elsewhere, at Amazon, this Harry's Razor Set is available for £25.
It includes a razor with an indigo blue handle, 13 razor blade refills and a travel blade cover. The razor blade refills feature five German-engineered razor blades, a flex hinge, lubricating strip, and a precision trimmer for difficult-to-reach areas such as sideburns or beneath your nose. At Boots, the Gillette Labs Razor with Exfoliating Bar and Magnetic Stand is on sale for £11.88 from £26.99.
One particularly clever feature is its exfoliating technology built directly into the handle, which releases trapped hairs ahead of the blades for a seamless glide. Commenting on the Cremo tortoiseshell razor, one gentleman remarked: "I bought this razor because I liked the tortoise shell handle! Didn't really think much about function. I've been shaving for 45 years, I've tried just about every model.
This razor gives me the easiest, smoothest shave I can remember - and I like the handle.
" Another added: "Have used this razor with the Cremo shave cream and I think it is excellent and a significant improvement over my previous Mach 3 turbo razor. Very smooth and close shave with no burn or irritation.
" While the stylish patterned razor has garnered only four five-star reviews, the plain silver version, which features identical blades, has achieved a 4.8-star rating from more than 70 reviews. One reviewer noted: "I compared this to Gillette proglide razors, this clearly feels a lot better in terms of shaving scruffy facial hair... Safe to say I'm dumping Gillette permanently, they used to be as good as these razors back in 2018, not anymore though.
"Cremo barber grade razors are a cut above the rest," said another. "They give you a clean, close, comfortable shave every time. Shaving with the Cremo blades and they're shave creams are truly a wonderful experience.
" A handful of users have noted that the handle can be 'a little slippery when wet', with one remarking: "Very nice razor and well balanced. The handle does get a little slippery when wet and especially slippery if you are using Cremo shaving cream.
" On the whole, however, customers have been overwhelmingly complimentary about the Cremo blades, with one further five-star review stating: "Over the last 30 years I have been using Gillette 3- and 5-blade razors. I tried Schick, Harrys and other but they just did not work well on my face, to scratchy. Gillette was smooth. Cremo is smooth too, but it gives me an even closer shave.
" For those looking to put together a Father's Day grooming hamper at Cremo, the razor pairs nicely with the brand's Original Shave Cream, currently on offer at £8.76, down from £10.95. The brand's much-loved formula has garnered a devoted following owing to its distinctive 'impossibly slick' technology, allowing blades to glide smoothly across the skin. For father figures with a passion for fragrance, the Cremo Bourbon and Oak Eau De Toilette has been reduced from £30.95 to £24.76.
Boasting notes of smoked bourbon, oak and warming spices, it's a refined masculine scent that belies its modest price tag. Combined, the razor, shave cream and cologne make for a considered Father's Day grooming gift for less than £50.
