‘Barber grade’ razor making shaving ‘a pleasure, not chore’ cut to £11

Shorter days and darker weather can take the wind out of anyone’s sails, but a regular self-care routine is a great way to stay grounded through the winter. For those who want to give the gift of grooming this year, Cremo has up to 30% off the men’s collection in its Christmas sale. 

The event runs until December 24, and there’s free shipping on baskets over £30. If shoppers order by December 16, they’ll receive their Cremo delivery in time for the big day. 

Among the discounts is 25% off the brand’s popular Barber Grade Shaving Bundle, which costs £33.60, down from £44.85. The set includes a Barber Grade Razor, four extra blade cartridges, and a bottle of Cremo concentrated shave cream – and with the discount, each item in the package comes to £11.20. 

The Barber Grade Razor, which usually costs £16.95 by itself, is designed with a weighted handle for maximum grip and control. Each bespoke razor cartridge contains five durable blades, while a coated guard bar with lubricating pools helps evenly distribute shaving foam around the face, delivering a closer shave with less friction and irritation, the brand says. 

Speaking of shaving foam, buyers of the bundle also get a 177ml bottle of Cremo’s original formula. Applied before shaving, it’ll help prevent razor burn and nicks as its subtle citrus scent invigorates the senses. 

For particularly discerning men, this Tortoiseshell Razor could make a beautiful gift, thanks to its refined and classy handle. It’s currently down from £19.95 to £13.96, and comes with an extra blade refill.

Elsewhere in grooming deals, Boots has a Gillette ProGlide razor with 9 blade refills for £27, down from £32. According to the brand, each blade cartridge features a large lubrication strip to reduce friction, and can provide up to one month’s worth of shaves.

Those seeking speed and ease of use could consider this Braun Series Xt5 beard trimmer from Superdrug, down to £32.99 from £49.99. It comes with four face combs from 1mm to 5mm, as well as a SkinGuard 0mm comb for a smooth finish, and it can also be used to keep body hair tidy.

Back to Cremo, it seems shoppers are pleased with their purchases, with the products receiving positive reviews on the brand’s website. One bought the Barber Grade Razor Bundle and said: “Good solid handle, and smooth cream. I also thought the blades were of a better quality than the high-street brands.” 

A second chimed in: “Absolutely brilliant. Shaving is now a pleasure, not a chore.” 

One had feedback on the Barber Grade Razor, saying: “This is a great product, great shave and the trimmer is the best. I love the long handle, but it is slippery when wet. I am very pleased with the shaver, and wow, what a shave.”

Another shared their thoughts: “Really impressed with the Barber Grade bundle. It’s now my go-to razor, highly recommend.”

Cremo’s winter sale with up to 30% off men’s grooming gifts is live until December 24, with an order cut-off date of December 16 to ensure items arrive in time for Christmas.
