Review: MAGNAblade

Special thanks to the company for providing a sample.

Razors and razor blade replacements are expensive, so I liked the idea of something that increased the life of a razor blade. When I was given the opportunity to try out MAGNAblade, I thought it was worth trying. MAGNAblade comes with the razor dock as well as a razor.

There are two color choices for the razor dock – island coral and forest green. As stated above the set comes with the razor dock and a  chrome bladed razor with a 5 blade head. Replacement razor heads are available for purchase separately. The initial set is $24.95 with free shipping in the U.S.

The company states that the razor dock works for most razors, but unfortunately, that was not the case for us. We had three different razors in the house: the Schick Intuition, the Schick Hydro Silk, and the Schick Quattro. I didn’t expect the Intuition to work because it’s not a traditional razor head, but I’m including it in my comparisons as it is a razor that I normally use.

The razor on the far right is the one that comes with the MAGNAblade razor dock. As you can see, it is a very thin razor head. It slides in the razor dock very easily and stays securely.

The only other razor that we had in the house that would fit into the razor dock was the Schick Quattro, and that was a tight fit. The razor dock is not set up for a thicker or wider razor head. This is definitely something to keep in mind if you have a favorite razor that you want to keep using rather than the razor that comes with the razor dock.

The video above shows how the razor dock works to keep the blade sharp longer. So the question is, did it work for me? Yes, the dock did appear to keep the blade sharp longer which means that it can cut down on the cost of razors and/or razor heads.

I’m on the fence about this product as it does work as expected, but I can’t use it with most of the razors that we normally use at our house. I don’t like the idea of being locked into using one specific type of razor even if it means a longer life of the blades. That being said, it does work with Munchkin’s razor, so she’s happy to have her razors last longer.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
