Unique. . .Maybe Too Unique
This is a really neat razor that has one possible issue, which I'll get to later.<br /><br />The handle is big and heavy, and its unusual shape is very stylish. It gives a nice shave, too. If you have a small face or tight features, the large head might be a bit tricky to use in some areas, but that hasn't been a major issue. I usually use an old-school double-edge razor, not a flexing cartridge razor, so the fixed head angle isn't an issue for me. If you're used to a razor with a movable head, this one might take some getting used to.<br /><br />The included shaving foam smells good and works well. You don't get a lot, but you don't have to use a large amount of it.<br /><br />The "stand" is just a heavy metal cylinder with a round hole in the top and a pad on the bottom. The hole is wider than the razor handle, and just deep enough that the razor doesn't topple out. It's kind of weird, like the stand was designed for something else, but I guess it works.<br /><br />I'm not sure why they call this package a "travelling razor kit." It comes in a large gift box, and doesn't include any sort of travel case or bag. Plus, it's the biggest, heaviest razor I've ever seen (aside from folding straight razors). I wouldn't even think of taking this thing on a trip.<br /><br />Despite all the good things about this razor, there's one major red flag: At the moment, replacement blades aren't listed on Amazon or on the Suprent website. The package includes two cartridges and a card to get a third for free, but there's no guarantee that more will be available when you need 'em. While the included cartridges are definitely good for several shaves apiece, if that's all you get, you'll soon be left with a very expensive paperweight. I rated the product based on my use of it, but recommend that you verify the availability of replacement cartridges before buying.
