Cremo has launched a 20% off sale on their range of grooming essentials including razors, aftershaves and more
Finding the perfect Father’s Day present can be tricky, particularly if you want to gift something that special and genuinely useable without breaking the bank. A reliable, high-quality razor is something many dads spend decades searching for, but we’ve discovered one £16 option that shavers are ditching big-name brands for – and it’s prime for gifting on June 21.
Cremo has been upgrading bathroom routines since 2005 after launching with their shaving cream. Since its initial launch, the brand has expanded into a full range of men’s grooming products, including beard care, body wash, and colognes.
But it’s their stylish Tortoiseshell Razor that men can’t stop raving about for its ‘smooth and close’ shave. Currently reduced from £19.95 to £15.96, the premium-looking razor delivers a classic barbershop-style shave at home, making it a great gift for dads who are fed up with disposable or less superior models.
The tortoiseshell effect handle is what usually grabs attention, looking far more expensive than its sale price suggests. The weighted handle is designed to improve balance and control, while a pull-back precision trimmer helps tidy sideburns, moustaches and hard-to-reach areas.
But of course, the most important part of choosing a razor isn’t just about looks. Each cartridge features five durable steel blades, three layers of comfort coating, a coated guard bar and lubricating pools infused with ingredients from Cremo’s bestselling shave cream to help fight razor burn, nicks and irritation for a close and comfortable shave.

The razor also comes with an extra refill, with further refill packs of four costing £13.56, reduced from £16.95. At the new deals price, that works out at £3.39 per cartridge.
Elsewhere, at Amazon, we’ve found this Harry’s Razor Set for £25 . It comes with a razor with an indigo blue handle, 13 razor blade refills and a travel blade cover. The razor blade refills include five German-engineered razor blades, a flex hinge, lubricating strip, and a precision trimmer for your hard-to-reach places like sideburns or under your nose.
At Boots, the Gillette Labs Razor with Exfoliating Bar & Magnetic Stand is priced at £26.99. One nifty feature is that it features exfoliating technology built into the handle, which releases trapped hairs before the blades pass for a smooth glide.
Speaking on the Cremo tortoiseshell razor, one gent said: “I bought this razor because I liked the tortoise shell handle! Didn’t really think much about function. I’ve been shaving for 45 years, I’ve tried just about every model. This razor gives me the easiest, smoothest shave I can remember – and I like the handle.”
Another added: “Have used this razor with the Cremo shave cream and I think it is excellent and a significant improvement over my previous Mach 3 turbo razor. Very smooth and close shave with no burn or irritation.”
While the chic patterned razor has only four five-star reviews, the plain silver version, which boasts the same blades, has earned a 4.8 star rating based on more than 70 reviews. One commented: “I compared this to Gillette proglide razors, this clearly feels a lot better in terms of shaving scruffy facial hair… Safe to say I’m dumping Gillette permanently, they used to be as good as these razors back in 2018, not anymore though.”
“Cremo barber grade razors are a cut above the rest,” said another. “They give you a clean, close, comfortable shave every time. Shaving with the Cremo blades and they’re shave creams are truly a wonderful experience.”
Some have mentioned that they can be ‘a little slippery when wet’, commenting: “Very nice razor and well balanced. The handle does get a little slippery when wet and especially slippery if you are using Cremo shaving cream.”
But generally, users have had nothing but praise for the Cremo blades, with another five-star review reading: “Over the last 30 years I have been using Gillette 3- and 5-blade razors. I tried Schick, Harrys and other but they just did not work well on my face, to scratchy. Gillette was smooth. Cremo is smooth too, but it gives me an even closer shave.”
Back at Cremo, for those looking to build a bit of a Father’s Day grooming hamper, the razor can be paired with the brand’s Original Shave Cream , currently reduced from £10.95 to £8.76. The brand’s cult formula has earned a loyal following thanks to its unique ‘impossibly slick’ technology, which helps blades glide effortlessly across the skin.
For father figures who love fragrance, the Cremo Bourbon & Oak Eau De Toilette is reduced from £30.95 to £24.76. Featuring notes of smoked bourbon, oak and warming spices, it’s a sophisticated masculine fragrance that feels far more expensive than its price tag. Together, the razor, shave cream and cologne create a thoughtful Father’s Day grooming set for under £50.
