Oliver has been shaving with NASH for over a year. We asked him what he thinks about value for money now, whether cheaper products can really be better, and how his daily morning routine has changed.
The Most Important Things in 60 Seconds
- Direct Purchase: Fair prices, because there are no middlemen or drugstore markups.
- Blade Price: According to Oliver, a replacement blade costs about 1.50 euros. You really notice that in everyday life.
- Easy to use: No adjustment is necessary. The razor glides over the skin without pressure.
- Precision: A built-in trimmer on the back helps with tricky spots.
- Safety: You can try the starter kit at home for 60 days with no risk.
In this case, cheaper actually means better
Oliver, you've been shaving with NASH for over a year now. Were you skeptical at first because NASH is cheaper than the brands you used before?
“Yes, to be honest, I did. At first, I thought: If it’s cheaper, it’s probably not as good. You know how it is. You’ve been using a certain brand for years, paying for the blades regularly, and at some point you just figure that’s the price you pay for a good shave. When I first saw NASH, my first thought was: Why is it cheaper? What’s missing? But then I just gave it a try and realized that the quality isn’t any lower. It’s just a different model.”
I don't pay for drugstore markups
Why do you think NASH is cheaper in the first place? Have you looked into it more closely?
“Yes, that was actually the turning point for me. I buy directly from NASH. There’s no drugstore in the middle, no retailer taking a cut, no shelf space fee factored into the price anywhere. When I used to buy razor blades at the drugstore, I wasn’t just paying for the blade—I was paying for everything else that came with it, too. I hadn’t really realized that before. With NASH, the product comes directly from them to me. And you can tell by the price—without having to compromise on the blade itself.”
My blades now cost about 1.50 euros
Do you really notice the price difference in everyday life? Or is it just a number on paper?
“No, you really notice it. Especially since you have to buy replacement blades regularly, it really adds up over time. I didn’t used to think much about how much I was paying per blade. At some point, I actually did the math and, to be honest, I was surprised. My blades now cost about 1.50 euros each. That might not sound like much, but if you extrapolate that over a year and consider how often you shave, it really makes a difference. And the result is just as good for me—actually, even better—because I change the blades more often now.”
Better Results Without Making Changes
Did you have to change anything about your shaving routine when you switched to NASH?
“No, not at all, actually. That was one of the things I was thinking about beforehand: Do I have to learn a new system now, some special technique, or is this more complicated than what I’m used to? But it was really simple. Apply the foam, shave as usual, just without applying pressure. That was the only tip I took to heart: no pressure. The razor does it on its own. I didn’t notice any difference in how I used it, but the results were good right from the start. No adjustment period, no trial and error. Just do it.”
Trimmer for hard-to-reach spots
How well does the razor work in hard-to-reach areas, such as right under the nose?
“That was actually a spot that used to annoy me a little. A small patch would often remain under my nose, no matter how many times I shaved over it. The NASH has a small trimmer at the back of the razor. I didn’t really notice it at first, but it really makes a difference there. A few quick strokes, without applying pressure, and the spot is clean. It sounds like a small thing, but in everyday life, that’s exactly what you want every morning: no spots that make you think twice.”
Try it risk-free
When you first started with NASH, what gave you the confidence to even try it?
“I think that was the starter kit. You get everything you need: the razor, blades, the solid shaving cream, and a stand. I didn’t have to buy anything extra or figure out what went together. And I knew I could test it out at home at my own pace. There’s a money-back guarantee—I think it’s 60 days—so there’s no real risk. That gave me the final push I needed. If it hadn’t worked, I would have sent it back. But that wasn’t necessary.”
Conclusion: Why Oliver Stayed at NASH After More Than a Year
Like most people, Oliver was skeptical at first. To him, “cheaper” initially sounded like a compromise. After more than a year, his opinion is clear: The price is fair because the model is fair. Buy directly instead of paying a drugstore markup—about 1.50 euros per blade—with easy use that requires no adjustment and a built-in trimmer for those annoying spots. If you’re frustrated by expensive blades and looking for a real-world test, you’ll find it here.
