TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.5*
Why: While readers liked the idea of shaving cream wrapped around a razor, the actual experience wasn't that great. "It was really awkward to try and move the bulky soap bars around my knees and ankles," one reader says. And another adds, "Good idea, but you waste 3/4 of the product. The only part of the soap bar that gets used is the part right under the blades. The sides and top are wasted." Other readers were willing to put up with this since "you don't have to use shaving cream," saving them time and money.
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.3*
Why: While some thought this "provides a closer shave" other readers weren't impressed with this vibrating razor. "The battery does absolutely nothing to enhance this razor," one reader says. "I was looking for a closer and softer shave [and this] did neither," another reader says. Other complaints: "it feels weird in my hands" and "the next day I had terrible razor burn."
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.6*
Why: This product makes a lot of claims (like it will reduce hair growth), but readers aren't buying it. "I used no!no! for 10 weeks and didn't get the results they promised. You're better off saving your money for laser hair removal." Another reader had an even worse experience: "I devoted so much time to using this for about 10 weeks, and the only difference it made is that it actually made MORE hair appear!" Other complaints: "it is very hard to use on the underarms" and "if you go over the same place too much, you get what feels like a minor sunburn."

Why: The biggest complaint: "The gel itself is thick and doesn't lather well on the skin," readers say. Others say, "I've been using this for a year now and I've noticed zero minimizing of hair." The final call: "I don't think this is any better than cheap Walmart shaving gel. Don't waste your money."
