THE MOST VERSATILE DESIGN: Grüum Precision Razor Set, £11.25
This mechanical high-performance tool is far from single use – it’s designed to be used over and over. The set contains a metal razor handle, a twin pack of six-blade cartridges and a protective blade cover – all of which are made to create the ultimate shave. With a focus on precision and smoothness, the razor set is crafted using a durable zinc alloy plus platinum-coated blades. The razor heads use perfectly angled blades with optimum spacing to ensure a clog-free experience, fewer drags or pesky snags. Even better, the heads have a 90° pivot which means they can shape the body’s natural contours perfectly to make the process as easy and safe as possible.
