General Comments

The Wilkinson Sword Intuition razor is one of the newest in the Wilkinson range. It has an innovative, ergonomic design with the main difference being that it combines the job of shaving gel and razor simultaneously, with the "skin conditioning solid" that surrounds the blade.
The Sword pack includes the plastic razor handle, usually two of the solids (including the Wilkinson triple blade razorblades), a shower handle and travel cap. Two different types of solid exist - normal and sensitive skin varieties. Replacement solids can be bought separately.
Shaving with the intuition is, as the advertising and packaging suggests, very easy. Best results (I have found) come from normal shaving in the shower as your legs (or wherever you shave) need to be wet in order for the solid to lather. The solid does lather well, is pleasantly scented and leaves the skin feeling softer. The Intuition does not (as other reviewers have found) give a particularly close shave (I found that shaving with the old style Wilkinson blade ladyshaves are better for this) but your legs and underarms do feel silky and soft after use. I find that perfect results can be found by going over your legs twice (a little time-consuming I know but perfect, smooth silky legs can be attained). The Intuition is suitable for shaving the legs, underarms and bikini area with great results.
Perhaps one of the major issues with the Intuition (despite the lovely results) is the price. At roughly £6.30 per Intuition pack (that is, with the shower handle etc) and then around £12 per 6 pack of solids, the razor is more expensive than other products. Although this could be argued to be worthwhile (as you do not need to buy shaving gel to use with the razor) the price would be the only downfall, in my opinion, to an otherwise good product.
I would recommend the Intuition (despite the price) for an excellent quality shave, good razor and solid durability and the time-saving element. Definitely give it a try. Use your Intuition!
