I love the overall look of this brand, and the products are nice! I have used the shaving cream and pre-shave oil and it worked great, however it did leave quite a residue. Felt like a waterproof shield, which does aid in it's claim to prevent ingrown/bumps... but i still got ingrowns.

I have been using Bevel's shaving products for a few years now and haven't looked back. Great price point for something that feels more luxurious.
Feedback
Bevel takes a harder stance on preventing razor burn which is mostly true. Though it sometimes has the same faults as other razor blades in that price point.

Experience
After years of razor bumps from multi-blade razors, I decided to give Bevel's single-blade razors a try. I love Bevel's mission. And their marketing made me feel seen and heard. I was so accustomed to seeing products for black men merchandised at the bottom of shelves in my local CVS. Buying grooming products always felt like a second-rate experience. And even the marketing and branding of those products didn't make me feel good about using them. When I discovered Bevel I was immediately drawn to the simple single-razor design, sleek packaging, and the genuine story. Their razor and shave cream products worked great and I felt good about using them. That said, I canceled my Bevel subscription a few years back because it was expensive. The company pushed their subscription package, shave kits, face washes, etc. way too much and I was tired of having to keep up with it. It ended up being easier to just go to the store to get what I needed. I also didn't feel like my razor bumps were a big enough issue to warrant what I was paying for Bevel. And my barbers didn't recommend using Bevel to solve issues of razor bumps so it felt like I was paying more for a story than a product that was adding real value to my health and morning routines. Overall, I would definitely be willing to try Bevel again but it would likely need to be at a lower price point or for a different product offering.

The Good - Black-owned (previously at least; now P&G) - Simple design - Sleek packaging - Great story and educational site content The Bad - Prohibitively expensive - Too much upselling - Their subscription always left me with more supply than I needed

The bevel razor was my first foray into safety razors and I tried out all the accompanying products as well and everything was really great. It wasn't the best products I've tried but didn't have any complaints. I haven't tried their products again since the acquisition (didn't love the packaging changes on the products) but I hope the quality hasn't fallen.
