Infinity Razor Reviewed (Verdict: Junk)
Published by Joel April 12th, 2007 in Grooming, Hair. Share This
I’ve never seen the commercials for the “Infinity Razor,” which purports to have a blade make of science stuff so everlasting that it won’t need to be replaced for a decade. A Times reporter bought one and tried it out; it shaves like shit, he (more or less) says. Noted!
I’ve always had decent luck with the Gilette Mach 3.
If you have 0 reviews how can you give a verdict. I bought one and have been using it for several weeks I love the free gifts it came with. I give it a thumbs up!
I bought the Infinity Razor several weeks ago, and am still using it. I love it 2 thumbs up!
I have been using the Infinity Razor for quite a while, and I love it. 2 thumbs up
I got the razor as a gift from my wife last Dec. I was skeptical at first because I have a thick beard but I’m extremely happy with how long it has lasted and that the blade is still sharp. I’m going on my 4th month. My wife just bought another one for herself. We are very satisfied.
I was surprised when I read the article about the razor not being sharp. I thought it was very sharp and on the other end of it worried about it cutting me. So far so good, no cuts and still using razor.
hi to all,
id love to get this razor; but they wont ship to Canada….
could anyone help me out ??

Junk! POS! The worst razor ever. The pluggers above must be in-some-way connected to the copyright holders or the inventer(s). Right on Thomas Truth!
The blades will not dull because they are already
dull when you get them. Not worth a damm.
Steven must be shaving “peach fuzz.” The blades suck.

I purchased and it is JUNK! It pulls and does not cut worth a darn. I had to use my old razor to clean up after the infinity. This so called never dull razor is a rip off im my opinion.
Look at posters, The times / Dates are too closely related. This product is shit, they used Mach 3 blades (same patent, so they had to purchase from same manufacturer) Upon asking for a refund, they say .. did you shave ? (yes i did) We cannot refund a used product, the unlimited refund only covers “new products”. Also they automatically send you more products every month, I was in afghanistan for 4 months and received 9 products (2 per month) and it was 19.99 for each unless i returned them within 7 days. SCAM!!
I ordered the razor and never used it because it was so fishy at the website. They ended up charging me $61 and charged my account, not once, but TWICE. As you all say, INFOWORX is a scam company. They do not provide a way to cancel an order online and their working hours are questionable. I am now in a dispute with them because they had charged my account twice.
I emailed, faxed and phoned (30 second message!). They never responded to the email but it appears the voice mail and/or fax got them. Of course, they were only available during the hours I work. So, the items arrive. I had to open the box to put the “RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER’ on the invoice. This ensured that I pay for the return shipping. They did not provide a mailing label for that.
I rarely order from a commercial but the idea of a razor never dulling would be great environmentally. When they were trying to ship six or more, it was getting very weird. The fact that you can’t cancel your order online is one of the worst scams I’ve every had to deal with. I’m usually wiser. I wish I’d found this site before going to their website.
I promise that I do not work for the company that makes the infinity razor. It works great. Had it since December and I have pretty thick facial hair. The blades are not the least bit dull. I don’t know why so many people do not find it satisfactory.
I bought the razor and it doesn’t shave well at all. It tore me up when i tried to get as close as a mach 3. Infact, I had to go over what the inifinity did with my mach 3 so it all looked even. The warrenty is the scam. the 2 razors, little hair trimmer, and knife cost $19.95 with $8.95 shipping and handling (total $28.90). i wanted to send it back for the refund so i check out the site. here’s what i find: you send it back and get a refund less orig shipping. so i’d get 19.95 back… that’s cool. i can handle a $10 loss. but the site says to include $8.95 PER razor (total $17.90) (the s&h for orig 2 razors, trimmer and knife was $8.95, figure that one out) so my refund will be $2.05 ($19.95 - $17.90) and that doesn’t include the price it would cost me to send it through ups or whomever i choose. so the scam in returning it would be that i would pay out more money than i would get back so i’d have no razors and be out the original $30.
bottomline from my experience: it doen’t shave very well and the return policy will leave you with less money still.
I assure you most of these people who say “two thumbs up,” are in on it. I am in law enforcement (fraud) and have ran into people who have worked for these companies. They search these sites and post blogs and comments helping to promote their products. The product is all hype. Why would Giellette make extremely sharp blades that last a week that cost the same amount as a “lifetime blade” that costs only 20 bucks for two-six??? If this was possible, Gillette would make the same product and charge $100.00. People would buy it too if it would really last 10 years or, a “lifetime.” The biggest part of the scam is the return policy. You are better off keeping the crap than returning it. The company realizes that it is a civil issue and upset customers would have to take them to civil court to sort it out. In the end, it would not be worth it. Keep this in mind, if the product sounds to be good to be true, it probably is. You are always better off paying a little more at a respected retailer right around the corner who will return the product for “any” reason. The same goes for buying online; buy from well respected companies.
DON’T WASTE TIME !
I should have read other’s reviews prior to placing the order.
The Infinity Razor is nothing but junk. It’s nothing but a cheap immitation of a brand name razor.
Thanks for the reviews everyone - i was considering a purchase. Too bad so many businesses are completely amoral. BUT… in principle, titanium nitride edge coatings SHOULD extend blade life significantly, but certainly not to 10 years or infinity. It seems to me that my Fusion blades wear out faster than their old 3 bladed predecessor, but I can’t prove it. With 5 blades doing the work it seems to me that the Fusion should last maybe 33% longer than 3 blades. Doesn’t that sound reasonable?
However, Gillette was purchased by Proctor & Gamble, the king of consumer marketing, for BOCU bucks. Breathtaking bucks. Someone has to pay for that acquisition, no? Hmmmm. Well, say, maybe, why don’t we, you know, just sort of, you know, maybe, stimulate blade purchases a little bit? - nothing really big, you know, but just a little bit? I mean, who’d notice? After all, we’re now Gillette aren’t we? So we keep the five blades but make ‘em just a bit softer? How ’bout that? What do you think? Doable?
IT’S HORRIBLE. CAN’T SEE WHAT ANYONE CAN SHAVE WITH THIS PIECE OF JUNK!
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!
This is totally Junk. I will never buy from TV ads.
I bought two and both of them.. let’s see if I can return them
Wow, sounds like a piece of crap. I sure am glad that I read this review online. Its funny, this isnt the first “seen on TV item” I have looked up online recently and it seems like they all run the same sort of scam. Buyer beware I guess!
Thanks for all of the reviews. I just knew the informercial was a joke! I had my hopes, but I thought I’d check out some reviews before purchasing. Buyers Beware!!
POS is all I have to say. I have disputed the charge with AMEX. I will be getting my money in full refunded as this is a total scam.
thanks for all the posts, it really help me make my mind up about this product.
by the way i am getting ready to launch buyorlie site to fight against fake products & help companies real products to succeed, if you have a sec to share the truth what u experienced or heard I have post already ready for it: http://buyorlie.com/board/viewthread.php?tid=1&page=1#pid1
Help others make up their mind about this Razor & they will help you in something else.
I ordered the INFINITY RAZOR before reading all of the above horrors stories. I am in no way endorsing this product. When the product arrived, I already had a negative attitude. In my opinion, it’s a great razor. I had to use less shaving cream than I normally would with my Schick ST twin blade. I also shave my head. I have not gotten any nicks or cuts either. It’s definately worth the price.
Thanks alot to all of you, I am really glad I did not buy it before I read all these things. I just saw the commercial and was amazed, apparently the only reason is because it was lies. Thanks for saving me!
I wish i had checked for reviews before ordering the stupid thing. And of course I ordered a couple of extra ones because they were so cheap (to use as gifts). Even got the shaving mirror, which is also totally worthless because it distorts your face. But back to the Infinity Razor itself: Not only does it shave like crap, it hurts like hell, too. Because it cuts your beard so poorly, it just ends up pulling on your hair instead of actually cutting it. Consequently I end up having to go back and make several more passes to get a smooth shave.
I looked at one in Rite Aide today. The price sticker said it was made in
China which no one mentioned so far. China noted for its high quality steel! Once I saw that I thought I would check on the Internet as I was suspicious. Thanks I won’t buy it!
I was ready to jump in and get one. But after reading the reviews all I can say is”thank-you. twenty bucks worth.”
I was thinking about purchasing the Infinity Razor..but thanks to everyone else waseting their time and money on these POS, it saves the rest of us the hassle and anguish of buying them…Thanks to you all for posting your comments on items like this…
the infinity razor is dull , that’s the problem. not sharp to start with. what a rip-off.
I saw one of these at Target and figured for 10 bucks I would give it a try to see if I could get out of paying 50 bucks for how ever many fusion power cartridges you get at Costco.
I should note that I use shaving oil instead of shaving cream or gel. I like it better. I don’t know if that makes much difference with the Infinity Razor though, but usually it makes for an easier shave for me.
On to the Infinity…
When I first started around the sideburns and down the cheeks I thought I had hit upon something great. It was doing a pretty decent job. It was not shaving smoothly, but that is the usual for me. I always have to shave in the reverse direction to finish completely smooth. No problems so far.
As I get closer to the mouth things start to go a little bad. It is not taking the hair off the way it was. I notice that the twin blade seems to have clogged up. So I try to swish it through the water in the sink. No deal. I try to clear it out by holding it under the water. Nope. I have to squeeze the hair out from the blades with my thumbnail. Then rinse it off. Not cool. The cartridge is almost solid. You cannot see through it from the back like other cartridges I have used. There are two small holes, but it is not near enough to get the amount of water flow in to clear out the blades.
After that it shaves okay… For a bit. Then same thing. Clogged. Thumbnail thing again. Then rinse. Repeat as necessary. It is necessary a lot.
So, I have wasted 10 bucks. I don’t feel too bad. I should have known better though. I should have checked the web first, but figured it was just 10 bucks. I might try to take it back to Target.
Conclusion: If you absolutely need to try it for yourself… Like me. Get it at a retail chain. Target had it for 10 bucks. Other than that. Don’t bother. Blades are not real sharp, and they clog up and there is no easy way to clear them out.
Hope it helps.
GLAD I READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING. THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH BAD PRESS OUT THERE ABOUT THIS RAZOR. I DONT WANT TO WASTE MY MONEY, SO I PASSED ON THIS MIDNIGHT IMPULSE.
God damn it! I purchased one a couple weeks ago. I have not received it but they charged me almost two dollars more than they should have and now I am worried because they have my credit card number. I wish I would have read this before I bought it. I hate scammers!!!!
yep I purchased one too from Target, glad it’s $10 i’m out of. I haven’t noticed anyone commenting on the handle - it was very awkward for me. But, I immediately knew I was scammed when I saw that the razor comes off-like a replacable razor. hmmmmm…. then there was absolutely no information printed on the package or a information pamphlet inside - nothing to send back to the company to complain. Oh well - it’s true, you get what you pay for….
IT IS THE WORTST SHAVE I EVER GOT. INFINITY RAZOR IS TRUELY JUNK/ IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, AND TRUST IT IS. TERRIBLE PURCHASE DOES NOT EVEN SHAVE AS WELL AS A DISPOSABLE BIC WHEN IT IS BRAND NEW THREW IT IN GARBAGE
My wife bought the razor for me as a gift and it is nothing but a piece of garbage and the store better give her a refund! I have used all different kinds of razors including old fashioned straight razors and this product is worse than the worst cheapest razor I’ve ever used. I had to finish shaving with one of my old razors and it did a better job than this. There should be a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer so they will know and companies like them will know to stop defrauding consumers. This Infinity (joke) razor didn’t even cut through my hairs on my face and the blades couldn’t even be cleaned no matter how much you shake it in the faucet, I would never recommend this product.
Also purchased mine at TARGET. Figured for $10 what the hell. Not a Great blade at all. Wasn’t horribly bad on my face but not a close shave. I also shave my head, so I tried that. Forget about it. A total waste. Save your money at any cost.
I assure you, these razor are infinity lasting! I burried it in the backyard it sucked so bad and i just checked and its still there and im willing to bet 1000’s of years from now it will still be there! See…truely infinite! As for sharpness lasting, an ice cube lasts longer in the desert at high noon in july!
Thanks for this site and for all the honest posters. I just thought I’d check on the internet before ordering and I am glad I did. I am amazed at how dishonest and brazen the manufacturers and promoters of the product are. From pdx David’s experience, it is clear that the product was designed to fail because it was designed to clog up so that it wouldn’t do it job properly. It is also clear from the experience of those who tried to return the product that the sellers intended to scam the public who bought from them.
I wonder whether there is no government body that regulates fair trade that could step in and prosecute these crooks - for that is what they obviously are.
As an alternative, you might consider replacement razor blades from http://www.greatrazors.com/.
I gave an earlier review that was very positive. I felt it was worth the price. But after using it a couple of weeks, I changed my mind. It sucks. The handle is awkard. The shave is terrible. I was trying to justfy my purchase. Don’t waste your money.
This Razor is horrible. It felt like it was PULLING the hairs out of my face. My wife tried it and went back to her disposable Razors immediately. This is just another GIMMICK. My advice is to STAY AWAY!!!!
Well, I placed my order 2 days ago. During the automated phone call, they gave me a number to call if I had any issues. So I waited 48 hours like they asked, then called the number. They told me that “it hasn’t downloaded into our system yet, you must call back on monday” and I asked, how long between when it downloads and when you ship it out, and they said “don’t know, could be a few hours”.
So I called my credit card company, and the charge has not occurred yet. So I told them I lost my card, and to freeze the account. They did. I will get my new card with new number in a few days.
In the meantime, the company can jump through my hoops if they want to try to get their money.
Thanks for the warning guys, I should have visited this site sooner.
I too, ordered the razors. I ordered 2 because the offer was buy 1, get 1 free,so I would have a total of 4 razors.
Well, they came and I had a total of 6 razors, a chef’s knife and a hair remover, and a bill totaling over $60. I was pissed. I did, however use one of the razors on my legs in the shower and it seemed to do a great job, but I too was alittle skeptical because I noticed the blade slipping off like a disposable razor. The way the razor was described in the commercial, it makes you think that it’s a forever blade, or that doesn’t have to be replaced.
Also, there was no paper work for the charges or any warrenty in the box. This worries me!!!! My husband will be trying it tonight and he has a thick beard so we will see. I wish I could have read this site before I bought. Next time I will check or only buy from HSN.
thanks for the info.I will definitely not be buying this product.
From a logic standpoint tungsten carbide would remain sharper longer but we are talking a few times longer not forever.
this product is a POS!!!!!! It doesnt work at all. all it does is scrape your skin and irritate it. I wouldn’t use this razor to commit suicide its worthless. Not only doesnt it work but they charged my account extra 20 bucks these pple are into a scam and they need to be shut down. My advice Stay away FRom this MFPOS!!!!!!!
I knew this razor had to be a scam when I went to the buyinfinityrazor.com site and found it was $19.95 for two razors and the shipping was $12.95 for each razor. Now listen to the add. It says there is a lifetime replacement guarantee. The last razor you will ever have to buy. Sure you will never have to buy another razor, unless you actually want one that will shave your beard. Yes you don’t have to buy another, you will only need to pay $12.95 to have another crumy razor to be shipped to you. The scam is completed with tricky word play. Do yourself a favor. Spend some money and buy a real razor.
MY WIFE ALSO BOUGHT POS FOR ME,I KNOW WHY NOW,I’M A OTR DRIVER,GONE ALL THE TIME,I THINK SHE SECRETLY THOUGHT I WOULD CUT MY THROAT WITH DULL NO COUNT PIECE OF JUNK AND BLEED TO DEATH OUT HERE ON THE ROAD SO SHE COULD COLLECT LIFE INSURANCE.BUT,TO NO AVAIL IT DOESN’T CUT,IT PULLS HAIR OUT.I DO HAVE TO SAY THE 1ST SHAVE WAS PRETTY GOOD,BUT NEXT 2 SHAVES WAS MISERIABLE,HAD TO USE MY FUSION TO CLEAN UP WHAT INFINITY LEFT WHICH WAS EVERYTHING.WHAT A GIMMICK,CAN’T GET HER MONEY BACK,SHE BOUGHT IT FROM PCH,(PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE).I THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION SO I TRIED IT AGAIN YESTERDAY,STILL DULL POS.I’M THINKING ABOUT BOXING IT UP AND GIVING IT TO MY BROTHER FOR A BIRTHDAY GIFT AND SEE HOW HE LIKES IT! IF ANY OF YOU WANT A REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH A GOOD RAZOR,TRY THE FUSION,ITS WHAT I WAS USING B4 WIFE BOUGHT POS INFINITY RAZOR,BEEN USING SAME REFILL RAZOR FOR OVER A MONTH,BETTER THAN MACH3,MY OPINION! OF COURSE OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES EVERYBODY HAS ONE,GOOD LUCK AND DON’T BUY THE INFINITY!
I secured one on ebay, THEN read the reviews.I doubted many of them. Tried it and after one quarter of a shave, threw it in the waste basket and repaired what I did with a real razor. Will I never learn? I do not think so. Chinese junk.
Thanks for all the info. It sounded to good to be true.I’m glad there is sights like thease to warn about crap like this
Thanks Everyone- a NEW razor has become a standard Christmas present for my son along with blades and was thinking what the heck- this sounds pretty good and then decided to read a little and you all saved me a great deal of money and giving lousy Christmas gift. Guess I will stick with FUSION again as my son loves it! The additional shipping was quite a surprise and KUDOS to cancelling credit card and letting them jump!! Once in a while I tend to lose my mind. Especially living on Big Island of Hawaii I buy MOST of my gifts off the Net and this saved me a lot of hassle. By the way Forget the Focus Factor hype thing you see advertised. I WILL SOMEDAY LEARN, I WILL SOMEDAY LEARN! My new mantra.
“I rarely order from a commercial but the idea of a razor never dulling would be great environmentally.”
Yeah, and an infinite supply of non-polluting energy would be great environmentally, too. I’ve got some right here … only $99.99 for this one-time-only internet special.
“I’m usually wiser.”
Well, at least you’re wise enough to realize how foolish you were to believe something just because you wanted it to be true.
Three words why its sucks:
MADE IN CHINA
I purchased the Infinity Razor on Saturday (08.25.07) - at first, I was a bit disappointed when I started shaving my face with the blade, however, when I made another pass in the opposite direction, the stubble that was left the first go time around, were now gone. My face was much smoother than I could remember when using my old Atra II blade, my girlfriend concurred.
This morning, I shaved again (pretty good results for shaving every other day), however, it feels smooth, but a little more razor bumps. I’ll continue to use this blade for a little while longer to see how “sharp” it will be. I usually buy the generic Atra II blades (Safeway brand, Wal-Mart brand, etc) and depending on the quality of those blades, I could usually get about 3 to 4 weeks worth of shaving from one blade - and that’s shaving about 4 to 5 times a week. We’ll see with this Infinity Razor.
Am really glad I saw this. Won’t be wasting my money on this product.
I was just about to order one of these packages before I read this. As always, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Thanks for the information.
Hi all,
I bought one thru PCH, and have been using it for a few weeks now. It cost me $22.56. It must have been a fluke, because it shaves pretty good. I dry shave mostly, for that nice leather-like skin feeling. I hope it lasts a few months, if not. Life goes on for the gullable.
The Infinity Razor comes with a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee - which means if you ever think it is not shaving you as close as it should, send it back, and we will send you a replacement. Try it for 30 days, and if it is not the greatest razor you’ve ever used, send it back, and we’ll refund the purchase price . You can’t lose on this one. It’s guaranteed better shaving for life.
If that’s what they are claiming as their guarantee, then I would think those of you who were trying to return it, after use, would have a good argument when they say you can’t return it. I found this on the following website:
http://www.buyinfinityrazor.com/Default.asp?tcode=asp3&bhcp=1
I’m glad I read these reviews, I really wanted one.
Thanks to all who provided an honest review of this product. I was going to order to see if it was as good as it sounded. You all saved me a head ache that I do not need.
If anyone is interested (I have no affiliation and do not profit, just a good old fashioned recommendation) Total Shaving solution out of Peoria, IL makes a great shaving product that both will give a great shave and extend the life of your blades. With all of the Mach blades costing as much as they do, it really does help out the pocket book and you will never have a better shave. I can use a Mach 3 for about 4 and a half months. It is a shave oil that will not oxidize the blades, so they stay sharper longer. I can down and up shave everyday and have no irritation.
Thanks again for the advise and reviews.
I bought the Infinity Razor, but not for myself.
I bought it for my horse. I shavd his legs and rear quarter area and he loved it. He’s got that silkey slick feeling like women do when they shave down below,,,
I was surprised to see the ease that the razor has and its still sharp. Horse hair and also girl hair is a lot thougher than male hair so you have to believe this to be true.
I think next, I would like to get a girl, but she has to get her own razor.. this one’s for ole Rue.
Thank you for all of the comments. I will not be buying one. I almost fell for the pos.
Hey everybody thanks for all the comments on the POS IR. I was ready to order one from the catalog, Carol Wright Gifts. But not now, so glad I checked this out before I wound up with this POS!
Thanks again!

It’s definitely worth the price.
I seen the tv and thought i would give it a try since ,since it raved of lasting forever..Which is one big ass lie… I got this thing less than a month ago and one of the razors is rusted already from just sitting in the stand it came with.. This razor is totally worthless, I wasted $38.00 in total shipping and all that.The design sucks you did they design it for..The handle is short and uncomfortable and it don’t cut for shit and will give you razor burn from trying to hard to remove little stuble. I too ended up using my standby razor gm3 turbo.. I have gotten a better shave with a $0.25 bic throw away.. Which at least don’t rust for no apparent reason. I wouldn’t waste anymore money even to send it back.. And will encourage all my friends and family to look elsewhere cause this INFINITY RAZOR isn’t worth a can of beans. Even the gifts that came with it suck to me since all i wanted really was the razor.
I won’t sugar coat it..cause it sucks and thats the bottom line… :(
I agree with the last poster, Oska. I’ve gotten a better shave with a .025 bic throw away.
I guess that I am ahead of some of the others who bought this thing, because I got it at Walgreens for $9.99. I bought it yesterday and used it for the first time today. I shaved with it… and then had to shave again with a different razor. In fact, a cheap Bic razor from a pack I keep for guests.
The Infinity Razor is, right out of the box, duller than a much used razor. I had to use something sharper than it to get it out of that darned unopenable by hand plastic package.
I don’t know. Perhaps if I shaved one square inch of my face at a time, cleaning the razor between each little inch, it might work better. Might not. The skin of my jawline is feeling raw and sore right now so I am not giving this thing another try at my face.
I agree: Junk.
I am taking it back to Walgreen’s today.
Wow, is this razor a scam or what?! Unforunately I have already ordered the razors off of the t.v commerical, but after reading the reviews I decided to give them a call and ask a few questions. I did confirm that it does have a disposable head and you have to pay return shipping. ( Do not use if you have ordered because they won’t refund on used items!) They did claim that if you do use that they will send out a replacement blade free of charge with free shipping, but if it cuts like crap what’s th point?? The worst part is that they have already taken the payment off my card and claim the don’t and haven’t had an order for me even though my card says the payment has been made!!! This is definetly a scam! I would reccommend calling them if you have placed an order to see if they even have you on file! Depending on how much you like to gamble will determine wether or not you keep your order. I will write another review when i get it ( if I do) seeing how they can’t find an order. I guess I’m going to have to fight with them for my money back! GREAT! Good luck! Nad please BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought 2 (one for home and one for work) infinity razors at Target on clearance. I took it home and shaved. I thought I was using a broken bottle.
This thing sucks.
POS!
I have used rusty razors that have shaved me better.
At least I got them on clearance.
I bought the Infinity Razor a couple of weeks ago. I am very happy with it so far. I have had no problem with it cutting me at all. For the people that have trouble cleaning it you can take the blade head out and it cleans eaiser that way.
It’s no better than the disposables I’ve used for years. After a week I was no longer able to remove my stubble with it. I wanted to believe in them too.
I so glad that I read these reviews. I had a gut feeling that this was crap, and although there are some reviews ( I belived planted ) that are positive - I am glad that I didn’t give my credit card information to these scammers. In the words of Judge Judy - DON’T PiSS ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT’S RAINING! You just can believe any of these “forever” claims. TRUST YOUR GUT but if in doubt - go online! HA!
There is a definite pattern here. Either it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, or it’s total garbage. Nothing in the middle. This strongly suggests the positives are from the seller.
One point about cutting edges - to make an edge last longer (e.g. an axe), the angle of the edge is higher. To make it sharper (e.g. razor), the angle must be very low. While I haven’t seen the product in question, the reports sure sound like these blades may well have a higher angle. Could anyone confirm or deny this?
In any case, the “warranty” is certainly a scam, and probably illegal. Charging TRIPLE the shipping is bunk.
The best way to deal with blatantly fraudulent advertising and amoral stations that blithely accept advertising dollars from these criminals is to appeal to their ears, located adjacent to their posterior parts. Kick ‘em squarely in their wallet pocket. Boycott ALL advertisers and infomercials on stations that accept these fraudulent ads. Write to the advertisers as well as the greedy stations that rip off their viewers in the name of profits. Tell them that swimming in sewage makes them all smell bad. When legitimate advertisers start pulling their ads, stations will respond by verifying advertiser claims and policies.
These stations know full well that we are being ripped off. Otherwise, they wouldn’t broadcast disclaimers prior to these blatant lies. “We are not responsible for any criminal activities we are promoting.”
For anyone who believes media is an innocent party, here is some interesting information from the FTC.

I was excited their was a razor that does not need to be replaced. Bought one at Target on sale. It’s true. It definitely does not need to be replaced, because it’s the last one I will ever buy.
I can give it to my kids and I won’t have to worry about them being cut. I keep SCRAPING my face with that thing and nothing gets cut. WTF!!!
Bought one of these razors at CVS this past Saturday. The razor did a fair job on the first shave, but after that it really pulled and hardly cut at all. I’ve had a better shave with a cheap BIC throw away than from this razor. If some people are getting such great shaves from their Infinity Razor weeks after they’ve used it, there sure must be a big problem with the company’s quality control.

I bought the infinity Razor Jr. for new shavers.
I got a blast.
I shaved before going to bed and when I awoke in the morning I had super Powers! I could see through walls, fly through the air, and bend steal with my bear hands.
The company can’t speak for each personal expeience or claims made by individuals, so I am speaking for myself.
I am ready to save the world with my Infinity Razor Jr.
It’s simply the best invention since the can opener.
I bought the so called Infinity Razor on clearance at Target. It sounded like a great idea at the time. This razor is the worst thing I have ever touched to my face! It did not cut me, as it did not cut my chin stubble, but it sure hurt like hell. I immediatelly traded it for a used disposable from the trash can and had a much better experience. Long story short, I lost the reciept and now I am stuck with a $12 piece of junk.
I’d seen the ads on TV, was curous. Wife tried to talk me out of it. When I found it at the ‘As seen on TV’ store, i had to buy it…
Its okay.
Not the closest or most comfortable shave. It gives me an ‘OK-for-work-save’, but not for ‘Taking Huneybunch out’, or ‘going to church shave’…
HB says it was a waste of money. I’m bound and determined to use it for two months which is about the amount I’d spend on my Mach 3 Blades…
I ordered mine from the Dr. Leonards catalog. The infinity razor is absolutely the WORST razor I have ever shaved with. First, the curved handle is very uncomfortable to hold. Second, the blades are dull to begin with. The set came with 2 razors. I shaved with the first razor and even after going over my face several times I could still feel razor stubble. So I shaved again using the second razor. I still didn’t get a close shave and my skin was irritated from all the scraping this piece of junk did. So to sum it up:THE INFINITY RAZOR IS JUNK. And just for the record, my razors came with the Infinity Chef’s knife which also never needs sharpening. This Chef’s knife is just as dull as the razors. THE INFINITY CHEF’S KNIFE IS JUNK!
I called and talked to the makers of the infinity razor, and I was assured that all the negative responces that have been made here are from pure competition.
The company has gone as far as sending the prototype to the Smithsonian Institution. I wish I could upload a picture of a girl that I just started emailling to from a dating site. She’s so in love with me only after 4 letters and my photo that I uploaded onto the web-site, was one taken after I shaved with my Infinity Razor.
You have to take my word for this. I can’t wait till the company comes out with the new and improved Infinity Razor.
can anybody out there give me a good hamburger hotsauce recipe?
Amazing product! I have no clue why you guys are giving this product such bad marks.
The infinity Razor is the best thing I have ever used on my Ultra-Light peach fuzz. Why I have been using this product once a month for the past year with no problems.
I love it so much, i bought two for myself. I even bought one for Sarah, my 2 year-old. It is her favorite toy, and it good to know that she will never cut herself accidentally with her Infinity Razor.
This product is well worth the investment of $30.00. Why i easily would have paid $200.00. Being that i paid with credit card, they might have actually charged me $200, who knows.
And what is all this talk about the razor being dull!! It may not be the sharpest blade on the market but it is sure sharper than me.
Well i’m glad i was able to share my satisfactory about the Infinity Razor, and how it keeps the peach fuzz off my face. I would chat some more but i got things to do, and fake plants to water.
My grandfather and I were ready to buy as soon as we seen the great too good to be true commercial,but I always find out reviews online. Im glad I did, this company Is a no good piece of shit no good mother fucker!
I saw a commercial last night and almost bought it. Luckily, I read the reviews. Funny part is I saw a few of the same “shill” reviews, word for word, on different sites. What a crock of shit.
This TV scam product exemplifies and typlifies the amount of rip-off jocks who prey on the elderly, infirmed, lazy and uninformed consumer. These are easy targets and the consumer protection guys are sitting with their heads up their ass. Where is the necessary full-disclosure requirements on the TV ads themselves. And full disclosure means using legible/readable type face/size with comprehension; not sped up unintelligable garble. Hell, even the drug companies clearly point out their caviates. Morally, the TV/Cable networks need a higher standard of acceptability for product/service implied endorsement. However, condsidering the greed factor, they’ll take ad bucks from anyone for anything if they can get away with it. That’s why they state that “the following paid infomertial is not an endorsement…”
Take my advice, as a ‘Li’l Reminder’ (product pun intended), do not buy any shit from the TV where the products or actors are incredulious, suspicious, or too wonderous. Get your lazy self to a computer and research this crap as an educated consumer. Yes, and watch out for the friends and stockholders of the scammer posts and comments.
To the guys who endorse this and other bull-shit products, I say stop: fucking the secretary, taking payoffs from the scammers, sticking your head up your ass, and adding confusion to honest/truthful reviews. In fact, O.J. did it wrong. Instead of a ’stick-up’, he should have taken a BIG stick and busted up the place. I am now planning a vigilante group to hunt down the headquarters of these type guys and do a BIG number on their office equipment.
Imagine the press that this would get: “Angry Consumers Bust Up Scammer/Fraud Biz”. All interested persons wishing to join, contact me via this blog.
i used it once and it worked like crap. thumps down
it is a foney
This is the worst shaver I ever bought. Just 2 uses and gone to the trash.
Good information: if it sounds too good to be true; it might just be a lie.
The real tip-off is four fold. They warantee it for a whole 30 days;
they don’t say a word about how sharp the blade is;
they have a bunch of common testimonials that all sound as if written by the same person and most importantly: Why arent they esteblishing a revolution in the industry. Why doesn’t Gillette use it?
It sounds like a fairly ordinary scam to me. It’s for people who believe the real estate crisis is a wonderful opportunity to purchase property cheap.
I’m digging it. It took 2-3 shave to get used to, becuase all of the other “close-comfortable” razors, dull out too quick.
I have been using the 2 blade big-name razors since my military days. Then upped it to 3 blades, then to 4, then 5. What’s next a GD guillotine? So I bought the dumb thing, and got suckered into getting 3 more for the wife and the gym, and whoever else for $5 more.
The only thing that I wish they would have done was put a pivoting type of head on it and a handle that was a bit straighter. By the way I’m not crazy about the elliptical handle. It’s far from ergonomic and is hard to keep a grip on.
I like the results from the shave. My wife likes to use hers and likes the results, except she doesn’t like using it around her knee caps.
Looks like we were all ripped off. I knew it was too good to be true but for $10 I thought “what the heck”. It produced the worst shave I have ever had in my life. It sits on my bathroom sink looking so cool with its stupid handle and holding case. Time to push in over the edge and into the trash container. Someone made a lot of money off all of us suckers.
thanks for the reviews! just saved myself ten bucks!
Hard to run a scam on people that do 30 seconds of research. Two thumbs up for the information age.
Wow I almost just bought one too! Thank you for the reviews and saving me the time and the money! thank god for review sites!!!!!!
Saw the ads , thought, “At last!” Wasn’t urgent, though, but I wanted one. Haven’t seen the ads lately so checked online & found this site - thanks, y’all, procrastination can pay!
I’ll get another Mach 3 - that’s a good shave.
I was considering buying one but wanted to check it out to make sure I didn’t get scammed and I even went to the infinity website and can’t believe that anyone would ever actually purchase anything from a site like that!!! it has SCAM written all over it, just do the math, legitimate companies have different pages like contact info or costumer service, products offered, a site map even, but with no other page other than them taking your money and you placing the order I wouldn’t do it. I love knives and you gotta understand no matter what the blade is made of it will become dull no matter what you do to it including this “infinity” POS!!! To quote Chris from his Aug 25th post “Three words why its sucks: MADE IN CHINA” and where have all the toy recalls been coming from again…Oh yeah CHINA!!!
I tried using it, and after about 20 mins. i gave up. Then i went back to my mach 3 with a dull blade ta boot, and it only took me like 7 or 8 mins. to get a nice clean shave. What an absolute waste of money.
I’ll just continue to shave with my Ginsu II knife. At least with it, I can chop a tree, saw a nail, cut a can, slice a tomato and scrape my stubble and it STILL stays sharp…but wait, that’s not all…..
I purchased the razor at my local pharmacy. The packaging spoke of a “lifetime guarentee” and a “free trimmer” that you could send for by filling out the “enclosed order form.” There was no enclosed form, or any information regarding the so-called guarentee anywhere in the packaging! RIP OFF!!!
The infinity razor is JUNK a .25 cent bic is better than the 29.95 life time deal.
The other men are right there are only three words for it,”MADE IN CHINA” CRAP!
a great gift to give back to the dearest of scammers in your life–
TOTAL BS! Don’t buy it! Stuck me for $70, and can’t return. Has anyone else filed a complaint w/ the better business bureau?
http://welcome.bbb.org/
Tried the razor this morning, felt like I was trying to shave my legs with the plastic instead of a blade, horrible thing, it seems for the same money they could have made something that actually worked. Another product promoted for the 1st time sucker only. Seems all the production went into the thick plastic worthless stand I can see surviving in landfills for the next million years. No matter how hard we try hard to avoid trying these scams because we want them to work. I’m joining the crowd remarking that its nothing but a waste of money, throw away product.
One would think at 73 years of age some wisdom would prevail. No such luck! Only wish I had gone to this site prior to ordering the Infinity. Holy shit!! What a piece of crap! I got better shaves using my dog tags from the Korean Police Action! Anyway, I ordered (got two razors for the price of one) the crap and got a handy nose hair clipper (which gets very hot when trimming nose hair) and an “apology letter” with regards to the fake Ginsu-type knife - seems they were out of stock. Never did get the fucking knife! Returned stuff within the thirty-day money back time frame ….ordered Sept. 26th and returned via USPS on October 15th. Still haven’t been credited the purchase price and tax (s & h not included in refund). Called ‘customer service’ (an oxymoron) today and they can’t even find a record of my purchase nor my return! I don’t see how anyone in their right mind could testify as to the validity of this product …it truly sucks! It looks as if I’m out a few bucks. I am pissed, but what can I do about it? Wish I had thought of this scam …I could certainly use a few million bucks!! CAVEAT EMPTOR …..buyer beware!
what a POS. This has got to be the biggest scam going. It didn’t even cut one days worth of stubble the first time without going over it several times. It tears your face off its so rough and you can’t even clean it with running water.
I would have to consider myself lucky. I only paid $10.00 for this piece of junk. I thought perhaps the problem was the awkward handle so I removed the blade from the handle and put it on my Schick handle. It did not make any difference. It provides a poor shave at best. It pulls like the blades are dull and it leaves stubble that my good old Schick would never have left. Save your money.
The infinity razor is by far the worst razor i’ve ever used. I’d rather use a old dull razor. I lost twenty dollars in shipping to this company. Never again.
HAHAHA! Im Rich Bitttch!! Thanks for the millions you all have pumped into my bank accounts , now i can relax on a beach in Mexico!!!!! SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought one, tried it, wasted my money, and I went back to the cheaper throw away blades, what a big farce……
Don’t waste your money. It’s by far the worst razor I’ve ever used. Save the ten bucks and buy a truckload of dollar store razors, they’re much sharper and last longer than 1 1/2 shaves…
WOW…the bad reviews, makes you wish everything was FDA approved. Even with scam things like this, the get rich guick gimmic, the GOV doesn’t care, because they make off the taxes, it’s up to the consumer to beware..To bad many of you got taken, I have purchased a few things fron As Seen On T.V….and to be honest…i never will again.The vaccum that hold a bowling ball, wouldn’t even pick up a marble, yet a bowling ball. I have given up. Remember the saying…”if it sounds to good to be true,it probably is.
Thank You Folk’s for saving me my hard earned money!!!!
This is the worst razor I have ever used in my life. I have been shaving since I was 14, I am now 38. The blade seems dull as it pulls the hair instead of cutting it. It also clogs badly and is very hard to clean unlike a normal razor. It hurt while I shaved my face and it hurt after shaving. Please read pdx David comment as he describes in
detail why this razor is JUNK. I would not recommend any one buying this razor. Do not buy this razor!!!!!!!! Repeat do not bye this razor as is JUNK JUNK JUNK. I bought mine off of QVC and will get my money back.
HI Everyone!!!
Thank you everyone for taking the time to post your comments about the Infinity Razor. I just saw the commercial again, wrote down their number and decided before I call I was going to check online, in doing so I came across these postings.
Thank you all for saving me from making a mistake and wasting my money.
To all those people who mailed their razors back and are waiting on a refund, I pray that you sent it back registered mail or at the least with a Delivery Confirmation sticker on it. Whether you did or didn’t still try contacting your postmaster and see if anything can be done at that end. Tell the story, give them the web address of this site and any other site that has negative issues about the razors, mention the so called companies operating hours, etc., if that doesn’t work contact your local State Attorney’s Office.
Good luck!!! And again thank you for taking the time to share your experiences about the razor, good or bad.
Well thanks guys and girls, I definitely aint buying this piece of shit
I dont mean to sound condescending, but I thought it was just sort of understood that nothing sold on tv is worth it. I figure that if its a good product it only needs a commercial, not an infomercial, or an entire channel devoted to selling things. I guess somebody out there is purchasing things off television or we wouldnt have so many HSN/infomercials/those annoying as hell cell phone “send me a text everyday with a new pickup line” commercials. Also, do you ever wonder how it could cost them 8.95 to send you a little box? Shipping cant be more than 2 bucks… does it take a minumum wage employee nearly an hour to print out a label and stick it on a box? Handling is code for *profits*. If the handling is half the price, its not worth it.
I saw their commercial today, and thought of getting the infinity for my husband, as a stocking stuffer. Then I went on-line and found this website.
Thanks so much for disclosing the truth!
Happy Holidays~!
my wife bought me one its worse than my used blade i used for a month i cant believe that they can get away with this peace of shit so save your money. also the handle is designed wrong.
In looking around the net after checking out this scam, I learned an important fact:
The USPS will not pursue mail fraud allegations for products priced less than $20. That explains the $19.95 price, and should make you wary of any product offered on an infomercial for that price.
They’re not only trying to entice you with a “reasonable” price — they’re also trying to avoid prosecution.
Another good rule of thumb: Never, ever pay more for shipping and handling than you pay for the product itself.
Happy shopping!
Saw it at a local drug store, I only used it once so far. I had to go over my legs at least three times to get a half decent shave. The container says to look inside for details on a free gift, there is nothing inside, not even an address to send it back. The funny thing is it fell apart while I was using it. A piece of plastic fell off the Carpal tunnel syndrome causing handle and a black thing with a sticky thing fell out. No idea what it is… It only has two blades and the shape makes it a pain in the ass to shave with. You’re better off buying what ever you usually buy.
I got two razors in a package deal. Neither of them is sharp. They feel like they are grasping and pulling the hair out of my face. I still prefer the original fixed head Gillette Trac 2, but the blades now are nearly impossible to find except on Amazon. At least the Infinity handle will hold Gillette Trac 2 blades so it is not entirely a waste.
To think I was about to purchase this piece of shit. I should have known it was too good to be true. Thanks to all that reavealed the truth. Thanks to my friend who found the site.
heres a thought
some ppl accuse others of planting “good”info for the product to sell it
but i ask……….
is it possible that the big companies (gillette,bic, remington etc) are using “plants” to bash the product
other than that I have no idea if the razor works and you just wasted 10-20 secs of your life reading this post
Thanx all of you who had the courage to speak out against this scam. I was considering getting one but thanks to this thread I know better now. I guess I had my hopes too high but I should’ve known better- never trust an infomercial!
Worst peace of shit i have ever bought
Ithrow away sharper blades then this one .
After three shaves the product dulled. It is a waste of your time and money to purchase one of these products. I bought mine at a Rite-Aid and I hope that the stores stops selling this kind of product.
I purchased this item and it is by far the worst razor ever made. They need to take this product off of shelves and offline.
My wife got me the infinity razor for Christmas. It came with 4 razors. The first one was dull and terrible. She tried it on her legs with the same result. I tried the next blade and had the same result. We’re sending it back today.
Buy whatever razor you currently use and when you’re done shaving, leave it submerged in alcohol. By preventing ozidization you’ll get double or triple the blade life. Shave at the end of your shower and use a real brush to lather and you’ll get still more life.
I didn’t buy this razor, because at the end of hte commercial I watched it said “Buy one and receive an additional infinity razor FREE”. I thought, why would I need 2 of them if they never get dull? Thank you I will stick to gilette.
Hi
I am in no way affilated with the people that make this product.
I am not endorsing this product.
This product is the best razor I have ever used. I used to use Mach 3 then found that it was not good enough for my thick beard. The Inifity Razor has solved all my problems. Now when I shave women flock to me to touch my soft beautiful skin. It has improved my life in every aspect. I have confidence I never knew before. Thank you Infinity Razor.
Now where’s my cheque????
Those who buy these products subsidize television for all of us. This is why broadcast TV is free and cable isn’t more expensive. This is also why you cannot pick and choose your cable stations. HSN and stations that show infomercials must be included in every package to keep prices reasonable.
I suspect that Sean H ( Sep 7th, 2007 at 4:45 pm) is giving really good advice, though I haven’t tried the particular product he recommends. A few years back I concluded that the standard high end razors I use had a short working life because it was difficult - near impossible to clean them completely after use, and the thin layer of dried shaving soap etc remaining on the blade compromised the quality of the cutting edge. After different trials I settled on using a shaving oil on my (wet) face with shaving gel applied over it, and - key - putting more oil on my razor (I use the 5 blade gillette type currently but others have worked just fine). After shaving I rinse the razor briefly in running water. Bingo! It comes out spotless (and no stuck hairs) and dries to look as new on a casual inspection. Unlke Sean H I haven’t used a blade for 4 months ( I really like them v sharp) but a month plus is be no problem at all. Apart from being harmless fun I suspect that by using the gel over the oil on my face each fragment of beard is pushed through the blades by the volume of foam - and in consequence there’s no need to rinse the razor clean while shaving. The result is that it takes me no more than one minute to complete a clean close shave - and we ain’t talking peach fuzz here. Rinse face - you’re done.
After trials I’ve settled on the top end King of Shaves oil which has a silicone component plus fancy essential oils, and one of their shaving gel products - but I’ve not seen these on sale in the US (I get them in the UK). Final suggestion: if you have a skin irritation problem look for products - shaving cream etc or aftershave - containing Bisabolol - primary constituent of the essential oil from German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) (Thank you Wikepedia). IMO it has real and substantial anti-irritant property - though since switching to shaving as described my previous very slight irritation problem is gone.
Just take $10 out of your wallet, ball it up, and throw it in the trash. That’s about the same effect you get when you buy the Infinity Razor.
this thing sucks soo much…
my friend bought 2, and gave me one.
obviously as a joke :)
i tried it and it pulled the hairs rather than cutting them.
in my opinion, you would be better off useing tweezes to pull the hair out of your face!
as for lasting…it wouldn’t have a snowballs chance in hell!!!
if you like to waste money, go ahead and buy it, but atleast buy it from a respected shop, not online, or over the phone (it’s all a big scam)
ps. yes i am a dj, it’s not just a name.
I purchased the razor for a gift to myself looking for a lasting blade that shaved close,WRONG! What I got was another twenty minutes shaving to get the close shave my lady likes (BTW I use the old fashioned single blade razors). I will admit that the shave after the second time waas as close as a baby’s bottom but I attribute that to the old Gillette single blade. I will not even try to return for money, I will send the razor back at my cost just to get rid of it!
This site/blog rocks.
So next time you guys see a commercial for a penis enlargement pills that work wonders you would know what NOT TO DO.
Keep up this great site, I am a female but I find it very educational.
Maybe one for women will follow soon, you know we are suckers for infomercials.
DOING MY SON A FAVOR. I TRIED IT WAS SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS THEY TELL YOU ON THE TV. I RETURNED THE ITEMS AND WAS TOLD I WOULD GET A REFUND ON MY CREDIT CARD, NOT THE SHIPPING OF COURSE, WELL IT IS NOW SINCE 10/22/07, SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND ALL KINDS OF PROMISES HAVE NOT GIVEN ME ONE THIN DIME ON MY ACCT. I CONTINUE TO CALL AND BADGER THEM. WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO JUST SO THE MERE FACT THEY LIED TO ME AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO THEY CONTINUE TO PUT THIS ON THE AIR AND CHEAT THE PUBLIC. THIS IS A START OF A NEW YEAR MAYBE THE PUBLIC WILL GET LUCKY AND THEY WILL BE PULLED OFF THE TV AIR WAVES.
