Review (5/5): High Quality Product, Well Designed. Closest Shave I've Had in Years.
The first time I used this razor, I cut myself. I hadn’t cut myself shaving in about 20 years. The reason I cut myself is because this razor is engineered properly. This may sound contradictory, so let me explain. In most safety razors, the blade is recessed too much and is at an angle that is considered optimum to prevent nicks and cuts. Because in typical razors the blade is recessed too far, the shaver must press harder to reach the whiskers. Still, the shaver will require two to three passes to obtain a close shave because the angle of the blade is too sharp; this often results in razor burn. If you are an experienced user of safety razors, I’m sure you’ll agree. This razor has the blade at the proper angle as well as at the proper depth. The result is the closest shave I have had in decades. If you’ve used a straight razor you know why the safety razor was invented: 1) There is no need to sharpen the blade because it is disposable. 2) The angle of the safety razor is automatically correct. 3) It is safer than a straight razor because the blade is recessed. This razor will take a bit of getting used to. It took me about three seconds, but I’ve used straight razors, safety razors and disposable razors for about 50 years. So, that’s just me. I highly recommend purchasing this product.
