1.Five blades, five times the drag
Every stroke with a cartridge drags five edges across the same patch of skin. One sharp blade does the job in a single pass, so you're not going over the same spot again and again.

If your razor clogs halfway through a shave, tugs at your neck and costs more every time you restock, you're not alone. Those are the most common complaints in cartridge razor reviews.
Here's why more guys are going back to one sharp blade.

Every stroke with a cartridge drags five edges across the same patch of skin. One sharp blade does the job in a single pass, so you're not going over the same spot again and again.
Hair packs into the tight gaps between cartridge blades, so you stop, rinse, tap and try again. A single blade has nothing to pack into. Rinse once and keep going.
Cartridge refills run $3 or more each, and they're dull by the third shave. A fresh double-edge blade costs about 10 cents with ours, so you can swap in a new one whenever you want.
Plastic handles crack, wobble and get replaced with every new model. Magnet is solid metal with a 304 stainless steel handle. You buy it once and it stays on your counter for years.
New cartridge handles often don't fit last year's refills. Magnet takes any standard double-edge blade from any brand, so you're never stuck paying whatever one company decides to charge.
A pea-sized amount of our unscented shave cream whips into a thick, rich lather that holds up from the first stroke to the last. You use less, so one tube goes a long way.
It's super beginner-friendly. Tilt it a little, don't press, and let it glide. After a few shaves, you won't even think about it.
Start slow and keep the angle shallow. Don't press. The weight of the handle does the work for you.
Any standard double-edge blade, from any brand. You're never locked in to ours.
