Pros: no need to lather, faster shave, less cuts, domed shape
Cons: $9, hair gets stuck in moisturizer, may leave to much behind for darker haired girls
The Bottom Line: it's worth the $9 as much as another razor in the same price range. Maybe more for time saved. I will probably still stick to the inexpensive razors :)

| Paceyluvr1's Full Review: Schick-Wilkinson Sword Intuition® |
First of all, I am NOT a woman who pampers herself.
I received my Intuition in the mail as a limited time free sample from a local store.
When it arrived it was pretty, pink, and girly. As a mother of 3 these are 3 things I have not felt in about 3 years.
I let it sit in the package for a while b/c I didn't see a need to use it. I figured I would sell it b/c I am the type who goes to Dollar Tree and buys 12 disposable razors for $1 and that works for me. I do not have sensitive skin so why bother?
A few months ago I found myself without any razors left and I was already in the bathtub so I thought "Why not try it?"
It was surprisingly much better than I thought it would be. It moved easily over my legs with no problem. I usually have to bend my knee to shave with no cuts but this slipped right over them with no problem. And although I do not have highly sensitive skin (I can't shave dry but I can shave normally with nothing but water) my legs do tend to dry out and get flaky after I shave. Not the case with this razor. After I was done and they dried they were so moisturized, shiny, and healthy looking that I felt like Eva Longoria! (Yes I watch too much Desperate Housewives but if you have seen her legs you know what I mean!) For the first time in a long time I actually felt like my legs looked nice and sexy.
To be honest though it seemed like it wasn't the closest shave I've gotten. I have very light blonde hair so you would have to be zoomed in on my legs with a flashlight to notice by looking. It was also hard to tell by touching b/c it was only in a few spots and that may have had something to do with how fast I went. I probably cut my shave time in half! I don't shave as often as I would like to b/c of the time involved so it was worth it to me to use this razor. It also eliminated any time involved in adding soap, shaving cream, or conditioner (whichever you use to shave) In the past I have had to stop to re-lather my legs b/c of the water dripping from the razor washing it off. With this razor you have a constant lather due to the moisturizer surrounding the blade.
It worked PERFECTLY for shaving under my arms. The dome shape fits your armpit very nicely without needing to go over the same spot more than once and with NO cuts!
However, I do NOT recommend this for your bikini area UNLESS you are one of those ladies who does that area on a weekly basis. It works nicely for the crease at the top of your legs much more quickly than a normal razor and with no more cuts (again b/c of the domed shape added by the moisturizing area.) But, to put it bluntly, the hair in that area seemed to get more easily stuck in the moisturizing bar. It was also difficult to clean the hair out of the razor by wiping b/c when you push on it to wipe it it goes down in between the moisturizing bars and resulted in some of the hair getting stuck underneath the bar. This is actually the reason why I threw it away. There was still a little bit of moisturizer left when I pitched it this morning.
At first I was a little annoyed with the hollow handle filling with water but then I realized that this water spilling back out actually helped to rinse my legs and
re-lather at the same time!
I have also heard others complain about the moisturizer running out quickly and the top half being useless after the bottom half was gone. I have to disagree as I was able to use this razor about 6 or 7 times before throwing it away ( and probably would have gotten at least 2 or 3 more uses out of it had it not been for the hair problem I mentioned before.) Also, when the bottom half of the moisturizer was gone I just rubbed the top half over my leg downward before shaving upward which STILL proved to be a much faster way of lathering than actually stopping to add some other form of lather.
There was no scent to the moisturizer, which would have been nice but probably would have caused more irritation, especially in sensitive users. I also liked the easy grip handle. Less cuts due to a slippery grip.
