Hanni impresses in reviews for making body care feel effortless and effective—its Splash Salve, Water Balm, Cocoon Cleanse, and Shave Pillow earn praise for deep hydration, elegant scents, and easy application, while the weighted safety razor delivers a close shave with less irritation. Reviews also flag drawbacks: inconsistent moisturization for very dry skin, strong or polarizing fragrance, heavy or greasy feel for Splash Salve, tricky razor learning curve with clogging and nicks, and packaging/application quirks.

  • I love the brand's mission and wanted to love these razors, but they're incredibly difficult for me to use. The other shave care and body care products are really great and innovative though!

  • I am really loving hanni's products and initiatives. The razor has become my new favorite for a close shave and smoother skin. I am very eager to try their new body products they are releasing.

    I am not 100% sold on the shave pillow! Initially I loved it due to the waterless shave aspect, but I find it clogs up my razor from time to time.

  • I am someone with extremely acne prone skin and a migraine disorder so I am more wary of body care and skincare products when it comes to not only ingredients but fragrance as well. I really enjoy the oil and the spray — both together make my skin so soft. I was shocked by how well the oil absorbed, and the spray really helped. However, the in shower body moisturizer is not my favorite at all and I feel like I’m buttering myself up to be a turkey on Thanksgiving. It doesn’t rinse properly (or enough) for me that I found myself never reaching for it. I do appreciate that the smell is light and fresh without being overpowering

  • I received cash back in exchange for my review about Hanni Splash Salve. First of all it was distinctive and easy to find on the store shelf. The packaging color is unique and the metal canister feels really good in my hand. The salve itself is pretty fun to use and a unique way to apply moisturizer after a shave or shower. I try not to use too much in order to conserve this expensive but worth it product. After I apply it and give a quick rinse and then a pat (no rubbing!) with my towel-I am ready to go! No lotion required! I love this Hanni product!

  • I don’t not enjoy this as much as I hoped. Didn’t feel very moisturizing or hydrating for me but the smell was very nice

  • HANNI! WHAT CAN I SAY OTHER THAN AMAZING! While I received the Water Balm via Thingdrop, I've been using their shave pillow for awhile and everything I've tried so far is amazing. The water balm is so light, perfect for moisturizing in the summer months or when you just don't feel like feeling like a total slug, which made my partner a total convert to it (much to my dismay) . It's a light rose-y scent as well, which is so nice! Basically, if you are in the market for a new razor or full body skincare, definitely check out Hanni!

  • I got a chance to try the Water Balm as part of a Thingdrop. It smells soooo good! I would buy this in a perfume! Anyway, I usually use a body oil in the shower, and have been applying this after. It is a light, but moisturizing spray that is super easy to apply. I squirt some on each arm and leg, and it rubs right in with no greasy residue. It leaves just a light, pleasant scent in the air around you. It is a little light for me to use on it's own, but if I were in a rush, it is perfect. For right now, I find it to be a perfect addition to my routine! The glass bottle looks beautiful on my dresser!

  • Easy to use and great for a quick moisturizing sesh when you don't want to lather up with lotion. Easy to spray and then you rub it in. My skin definitely feels moisturized and smooth so it's quite effective. Love the glass bottle and packaging too, i have it sitting right on my counter in the bathroom bc it looks chic. My only complaints are 1) Would love it to smell good! Right now the smell is pretty neutral (not bad at all just not yummy smelling) 2) When I spray it, i try to spray it close to my skin but I still feel like a lot of it is getting on my floor and more so wasting it as you can see the heavy mist in the air. I guess that is normal with a mist.

  • I tried the water balm as part of the drop and I will keep purchasing this product. I love that it is light and you can spray it on anytime. I use it in the middle of the day to refresh my lotion and as a final step when I get ready. It does have a smell but it is super light and you can not smell it after a short period. Great product!

  • I have the razor and shave pillow. I like the razor's sturdiness and that you can just replace the blades to eliminate a lot of waste. Shave pillow is nice, but as other have said, it's a bit hard to use in the shower. It's convenient for quicky shaving my pits when getting dressed though! It takes a while to get the hang of using the razor, and I'm still constantly snagging my legs.

  • Was looking for a safety razor and absolute love my hanni! It's so cute, the stand is a nice touch, and I love the container to save blades for recycling. Such an economic and eco-friendly option!

  • I really wanted to love this razor as an alternative to in-shower shaving and an option to save water. Unfortunately I just didn't. It wasn't better or more effective than other razors and doesn't really work without using water. Pros: It is pretty and has a nice look and feel. I love that it is eco-friendly and allows me to just replace the blade. The kit comes with a cute little tin to put used razor blades in, and that is a nice touch. I really like the shaving cream they sell, and it works well outside the shower on most parts of the leg. The razor is dual sided, so even though it is only one blade, you can switch back and forth when one side gets gunked up with hair and cream. Cons: If you have light blonde hair, this razor is basically unable to do the job around your knees and ankles. It just isn't agile enough to get a good shave done in those areas, as it only has one blade on each side. Even after watching the video tutorials that the company puts up it is what it is in this dept. This is NOT a waterless option for shaving; after every 3 or 4 strokes you have to wash out the blade by essentially running it under a stream of running water, and even doing that doesn't clean the blade off effectively enough to keep going. I have found a trick by using my waterpik flosser to spray it out after every couple of strokes, but it is really messy and gunk goes flying everywhere if you don't put a washcloth up as a spray sheild. My main reason in purchasing the Hanni was the selling point that it was an out-of-the-shower on-the-go option for shaving. It takes a lot longer than traditional shaving, and doesn't really save me that much water. So I was disappointed. Also, I could be wrong, but I believe the packaging for the shaving cream is a big chunk of plastic similar to a deoderant stick, and you obviously have to keep reording that as you use it up, so it kind of defeats the eco-friendly aspect of this product overall.

  • I love this razor so much, it’s beautiful and functional. Was definitely intimidated at first but I have never had a closer shave. Plus the shave pillow is amazing and has the most incredible scent.

    Feedback

    Only downside is that I find this difficult to use for shaving anything other than legs. A smaller or lower profile option for harder to reach areas/more delicate areas like underarms and bikini would be lovely

  • This really is "body care for lazy people." I know people freak out over Splash Salve, but my hero products are the razor and the Shave Pillow. I have incredibly sensitive skin and this combo gives me a super clean, sharp shave with no irritation.

  • i was so excited to try hanni ... i was dreaming of the hydration my skin would have & how silky smooth it would feel & look... the ingredients led me to believe that the scent would be natural... like a light coconut or shea butter vibe. unfortunately i will never know how all of the actual products feel on my skin as the scent is something i cannot get past. it smells of extremely cheap & horrid perfume. it's a shame as the idea of this line had me going for a while. it's not something i would use... i don't understand companies that use fragrance in their products... it just ruins the whole experience. i like to be in control of my own fragrance and how much and when i use it. hydrating my body should be a ritual experience not a olfactory nightmare. i did use the solid body moisturizer - it's in a twist container like a luxury deodorant would be... the product doesnt have a scent but the feeling of the moisturizer on my skin was almost itchy , but not, and just left me feeling dirty. the body wash solid smells like hotel soaps. sorry i'm not interested in this one.

  • I purchased the Hanni trial set and liked every product. My favorite was the Splash Salve–It's unlike any other moisturizer I've ever used, the texture it amazing and I love that I use it in the shower with it being water activated. I have really dry eczema prone skin, and it didn't seem to bother me. The only product I wouldn't repurchase would be the Shave Pillow, I will probably use a shave cream instead. All the products smell AMAZING and I will repurchase again :)

  • I have the worst dry scaly skin all year it’s awful so I was so excited to try this product. The product is amazing. Great texture and locks in moisture in the shower. Smells great. I would highly recommend.
