Bevel makes so darn good items at reasonable prices points and are quite easy to find. I enjoyed their bodywash, beard oil (used it as a pre shave oil), after shave, and their safety razor blades. The blades are outstanding and I would recommend to anyone using a safety razor. 

Hemp seed leave in conditioner smells amazing 

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

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.
