As a beauty expert, the quest for a reliable, gentle, and eco-conscious shaving solution is never-ending. Over the last few weeks, I committed to testing the Dusk Razor—both the Electric Glide Pro 3.0 and the classic DUSK Safety Razor. This review encompasses their strengths and real-world performance on various body areas, with the goal of offering a transparent and uplifting perspective on a much-hyped beauty tool.

First Impressions and Design
The Dusk Glide Pro 3.0 electric shaver caught my attention immediately with its sleek, minimalistic design. Available in serene hues like pink and blue, it’s stylish yet wonderfully ergonomic, making it intuitive to hold and maneuver even around tricky contours such as the knees or underarms. The razor feels lightweight but sufficiently sturdy—thanks to its ABS construction, which also ensures durability without sacrificing elegance.
What I truly appreciate, as both an enthusiast and eco-conscious consumer, is DUSK’s attention to sustainable packaging and reusability, especially with the DUSK Safety Razor. Free from plastics and hormone disruptors, this tool is meant to minimize environmental impact—a breath of fresh air in a disposable-heavy world.
Features and Versatility
Dusk’s Glide Pro 3.0 is packed with genuinely practical features. The IPX7 waterproof rating makes it suitable for both wet and dry use, so I could seamlessly transition from a quick dry touch-up to an in-shower shaving session. The LED display tracks remaining battery life, and the USB charging cable made recharging straightforward—just under two hours yielded a respectable sixty minutes of use, more than enough for multiple full-body shaves.
The Glide Pro is accompanied by multiple accessories: detachable shaving heads, limit comb for customized trimming, a cleaning brush, and two razor heads. This versatility made it perfect not only for legs and underarms, but also for more delicate areas like the bikini line and facial peach fuzz.
Shaving Performance: Glide Pro 3.0
During hands-on testing, the Glide Pro 3.0 glided smoothly across my skin, removing both fine and stubborn hair effortlessly. I was especially impressed by how close the shave felt—almost as smooth as waxing but without any pain. The detachable heads snapped on and off with ease, and after each use, it was simple to rinse under water for hygienic cleaning.
There was no discernible pulling or tugging, and unlike some electric shavers, this model worked excellently on both coarse and fine hair. As someone with sensitive skin prone to irritation, I appreciated the gentle approach: no nicks, redness, or bumps even after repeated use. Even the facial area, which is usually tricky for electric razors, was left soft, with no missed patches or irritation.
Shaving Performance: DUSK Safety Razor
The DUSK Safety Razor was a delight from start to finish. Its substantial weight made a difference; unlike lightweight plastic razors that require extra pressure (and often result in nicks), this razor let gravity do the work. The result was an incredibly close shave that rivaled even luxury salon experiences.
I followed DUSK’s instructions, pairing the Safety Razor with their handmade Body Bar—a gentle, oil-rich soap that doubles as a shaving foam alternative. With just a couple of passes, the Safety Razor left my skin supple and ingrown-hair-free. The reusable blades meant zero waste, and swapping them out was quick and safe with the clear assembly instructions provided.
Skin-Friendly and Eco-Forward
DUSK’s focus on skin health stood out. The handmade Body Bar, enriched with olive and almond oils, and the All Purpose Oil with rosehip and baobab, made a notable difference for post-shave comfort. I experienced none of the dryness or post-shave stinging that accompanies many mainstream razors or gels.
More importantly, using a reusable Safety Razor feels genuinely responsible—no more plastic cartridges clogging up the bathroom bin. The absence of fragrance and hormone disruptors ensures my skin is pampered, not compromised, after every use.
Daily Use and Maintenance
Both razors proved ideal for frequent grooming. The electric Glide Pro’s battery life outlasted my expectations, and cleaning the detachable heads was no hassle at all—just a rinse and a wipe. For the Safety Razor, maintaining sharpness is straightforward: replace the blade periodically depending on how much hair is removed, and always after it feels dull or unsharp for best results.
Each product’s durability makes it suitable for home and travel, given their compact designs and robust construction. Neither is high-maintenance, and both are built to last.
Why Dusk Razor Is Worth Buying
Having trialed countless razors as a beauty expert, the Dusk Razor lineup stands out for its harmonious blend of skin-friendliness, performance, and sustainability. The Glide Pro 3.0 excels for those craving a quick, gentle shave anywhere—even on the go. The Safety Razor, meanwhile, offers an old-school, eco-friendly ritual that genuinely leaves skin looking and feeling healthier.
In a market brimming with overhyped gadgets, Dusk delivers on its promises. The price point is accessible, the eco-credentials are impressive, and, most importantly, the results speak for themselves: smooth, happy skin without compromise. For anyone looking to elevate their shaving experience while supporting planet-friendly initiatives, Dusk Razor is simply worth buying.
