Diane D210 Black Razor

Really good beginners straight razor at a price that is tough to pass up if you're considering how to learn this method of shaving. Obviously there are much better units out there, but I wanted something that I wouldn't care about throwing away if I decided it wasn't for me. This fit the ticket perfectly and I'm glad I purchased it. Not knowing what I was doing, I bought the traditional shave soap and brush, but soon found out that I really disliked that method of shave lubrication because it would dry out on my face before I could shave all the way. I even tried small patches at a time and didn't have much better luck. I stumbled on "Shave Secret" in a big box store in the shaving isle and decided to give it a try and it's many times better than with shave soap. I hardly ever get nicks anymore and I can actually see the razor on the skin which helps a lot. Read more

Its a great product I'm very happy with it. it holds the blade in tight, and it gives you a close shave. I cut my own hair and other peoples, so when its time for the shape up the hair, i use this product and the best part is that its very cheap. Also when you first get the straight razor, make shore you run the blade threw a few times to loosen it up. Read more

This was my first shavette. If you can learn to shave with this you will be set for any shavette. The holder is not the sturdiest. but when you get the hang of it I think its almost the perfect shavette to figure out if shavette/staright edge shaving is for you. I use derby razors with it Read more

I've been toying around with purchasing a razor for a while. They give you that real tight pronounced hair line. They can be intimidating but I just searched some online videos to get instruction and now I feel like a pro. I definitely recommend these for anyone in the market and don't let the price fool you. These are an inexpensive brand but not cheap. And with this being my first one maybe a more expensive razor is that much better but this will get the job done. Read more

This is your typical shavette style razor that a lot of barbers use to finish a haircut. It’s a good value for what it is and works great for that purpose. It does feel a little cheap compared to other styles of shavettes but it gets the job done. For the price this is the best value that I have seen on Amazon for a razor with this design. I use this razor to shave like a straight razor and it’s very light and easy to use with little to no pressure. If you don’t load a blade, you can use even use this for practice to figure out how to hold the razor and follow your facial hair growth patterns. Definitely helps before trying a straight razor for fewer nicks and cuts! Read more

I've had this razor for over a year and still works. I shave bi-weekly, and it sill holds the blades right. FYI some nice cheap blades that go in accord with this shaving razor are these blades: Derby Professional Single Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count (Pack of 2) . This is a very cheap alternative to buying the conventional shaving products since they're much more expensive. Anyways, for the price of this, I really recommend to buy this and the blades since this product doesn't come with any razors. Read more

Anyhow mine came quickly in the mail and was securely wrapped and that is the good part. I Also ordered both a pack of Shark and Derby blades to go with it as I wanted to see which blade gave the better shave. Now the Razor ,Or rather the blade holder seems to be fairly tight and secure as I looked it over carefully before shaving but when I tried to actually put a blade in then things quickly got interesting very fast..... Firstly the silver insert that actually holds the blade does come out quite readily but the BAD part is the little guides and bars on the blade holder just will not line up or hold a blade securely. OK fine so I opened my pack of Derby blades figuring a different made blade from a different manufacture would line up and at least hold the blade secure. WRONG.......... It didn't hold derby blades very well either so I took a full size Lord razor blade and broke it in two and finally most of the internal bars on the blade holder finally lined up. So I then and only then lathered up to shave. The first pass went pretty smooth and I even shaved several problem areas tho I wasn't really impressed with the quality of the shave tho it was good ,Yet it still was no closer than could be done with a regular Safety Razor. On the second pass even being careful I felt a tug and I wound up with a rather 'Nasty Cut' tho luckily no scarring but the cut will take a few days to heal up. Anyway's after disinfecting the cut I taped it up and then examined the Razor real close?. I could see where the blade had -SLIPPED- and tipped out on one end so what had happened was that the blade had hit something and one end popped out and cut me. So after that I broke the Diane holder so nobody could find it or try to use it again and tossed it into the trash. Frankly after my experience I will NEVER AGAIN ever in this lifetime use a blade holder made by any maker what so ever as the risks are just Too High!..... Personally since the Blades cannot be firmly secured I regard the Diane as unsafe and I strongly advise you AGAINST using it. An earlier reviewer also warned that you WILL get cut with this item and believe me: "He's Right!".. So Avoid This Item By All Means As It Is DANGEROUS!..... Nuff Said. Indiana ED. Read more
