    Disappointed with the K5 razor blade.

    I changed to K5 razor blades having used the K4 for many years. The K4 gave a great shave, and the blade lasted a fair time. Disappointed with the K5 blade, it starts out with a good shave but then rapidly deteriorate, becomes uncomfortable to use, loses its sharpness and soon has to be replaced. Sadly, K4 is no longer available, however earlier this year was given a K3 to trial which I found at that time far superior to the K5 in terms of shave, and the time the blade lasted before having to be replaced. Might decide to buy the K3 later and see if the standard has been maintained.

    If it ain't broke ---

    K4 K.of S. committed. No blades available now. Thanks for K5. Pluses : tidy, comfortable handle, gets into corners, smooth result. Minuses : "scraping" sensation on skin surface cf K4. No protective packaging over blade. Only tried one blade. Will try others but fear width/quality of blade is the issue.

    Really disappointed

    I am an avid K4 user, and have been since it was introduced. It is (or was) the best shave ever. When I queried the reason that K4 blades were no longer available, I was kindly provided with a trial K5. What a disaster. After three days trialling, I had to give up. Razor burns on the chin below my lower lip, and below my ears; stubble remaining under my chin and on the throat, where I dare not repeat for fear of more soreness. The handle of the retro K4 is a straight shank, knurled to ensure that the hand gets a firm grip. On this dreadful K5, the handle is in the shape of a dead chicken's leg, and allows the hand to slip. It would appear that I have to look at other manufacturers for a replacement to my beloved K4. That is a crying shame, as I have been a loyal customer of KoS for a good number of years - unless the company finds a supplier to continue the excellent K4......

    Simply Sensational

    I've been using King of Shaves for over 10 years. The Azure razor system was perfect for my skin and beard. However, things move on and the Azure system became unavailable to buy. I contacted King of Shaves to find out what had happened, the Customerservices informed me of the problems and offered me the new system, K5 five blade system as a complimentary offer. What more can I say, the shave is equally as good as Azure, in fact it is better and I'm really pleased I've stayed with the producers, King of Shaves, they certainly are.

    K5 Razor

    Whilst I was always very happy with my K of S 4 blade razor I have now started to use the new K5 and I am very satisfied. I prefer the weight and shape of the new handle and the ejection button works better. The tilt of the blade is also greater with the K5 which is an improvement.

    K5 Five Blade Razor & 2 Cartridges.

    Over the years I have enjoyed a series of excellent King of Shaves razors but it is not always easy. The blades last for ages and by the time I come to the last no sign remains of the model name or number. On line it is hard to tell if what I remember is still available. So I ring up and it turns out that what I last purchased is discontinued (fair enough, it was long ago). This time its successor was not yet in stock. Grudgingly I went up to the 5 blade and the lady on the phone kindly compensated me with free postage. I seem to remember somthing similar happened when I last repurchased. So I ring off feeling loved and the five-blader arrives next day and shaves very smooth and has a lovely sculpted handle which really helps and makes me feel very skillful. I will be back,
