I’d been using the same store bought silo razor for almost 20 years and decided to try something better, hopefully. After lots of searching and reading reviews this razor seemed like the best one to try that I would consider to be value priced. I’m so glad I did because the quality and performance far exceeds the razor I used for so long. Even using the exact same blades I used in my old razor this one just made them perform to their best, presuming the better blade angle and secure tight hold of the blade. I’ll be buying another one soon to keep with my travel bag. It cleans easily and still looks new. Has some weight to it as well and the longer handle is perfect. I’m very pleased with it!!! Read more
If you’re experienced using a safety razor you’ll appreciate the heavy weight of the razor. It naturally presses against skin for a close shave. It is noisy, but to me that indicates stubble the needs an additional pass. Read more
I am neither unimpressed or impressed with this safety razor. It is nothing out of the ordinary. It works as expected. My biggest con is that the price is rather steep compared to other safety razors on the market. The list price for this safety razor is $21.58 and it seems a bit high considering I see no specific special qualities. Read more
very sturdy. Read more
This is my first safety razor I've ever used. After a good adjustment period, I've been enjoying using this handle. It's built very solidly, being made entirely out of a hefty metal. Installing blades is very simple, just unscrew the handle and place the blade in the center. It shaves well, getting pretty close to the skin. Again, this takes some getting used to if it's your first time, but I've been getting used to it and I think it's definitely worth giving a shot. Read more
My experience with safety razors is limited to the Henson, a more expensive safety razor made of aluminum. The Henson is designed to have as little exposed blade as possible, making it harder to cut yourself. It's lightweight and glides across skin very easily. However, for someone new to using safety razors, it can be hard to tell if you're shaving at the correct angle with the Henson because of how well supported the blade is. This razor has a much heavier handle by comparison, which makes it feel like it's worth alot more than the current listing price. There's a good bit more blade exposed so you're a little more likely to cut yourself, and it is alot more responsive to the blade angle. The shave feels alot rougher when you're not shaving properly, giving you good feedback to readjust. A great learning tool for someone new to these types of razors. After using this, I feel like I've gotten better at using my Henson. The included blades are fine, no issues with them. The nice thing about safety razors is how cheap the refills are, you can toss out a blade even if it gets dull after a couple shaves. I'll likely keep this one for use in the shower. Read more
This is made for men but I don’t know… hair is hair. It works just fine for me. I usually use disposable razors so this is a bit different for me. But I do like it and it’s safety feature as I’m a bit clumsy. Having a reusable razor is nice, you just have to be careful replacing the blade. Overall I’m liking this for giving me a simple clean shave. Read more
It works really well, very functional - way better than disposable razors. The build quality feels mostly premium. It's possible to cut yourself if you're not careful, but proper technique alleviates the issue. Read more
