Review (5/5): A product designed the way it should be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over the past few years many razor mfg's have moved their mfg to china.... I'm not saying this is bad or good, but china mfg typically has a 15% defect (their QA) at the consumer level.... and if you look at the majority of razor reviews, they fall right into that category. Although the product design may be the same, production related QA is far from good....and I have had my share of this type of crap from a variety of name brand mfg's.
This razor is designed and built the way they use to be..... To start with, the design holds and positions the blades to ensure it is always set at the nest angle for shaving the closest. 2ndly, the weight of the razor is well balanced and the handle design places your thumb/finger at the perfect pivot/handling point consistently and precludes slipping or re-adjusting you hand. Other companies attempt to use surface-design/pattern to hold your contact point in place, but in doing so this also slows/restricts the pivoting/movement of the head which induces razor burn/nicks/cuts! The other item that is definitely mentionable is the ability to clean the razor...it's great!!!! It is the 1st razor I have ever owned that you can effectively rinse all of the shaving particulates out of without disassembly!!!! The design is so good, that my 1st test was to do a dry shave with no water, etc. It performed excellent (and I have a tough beard)… I have now shaved with hot water, etc. twice like you are suppose to and the shave is as close as one can get to a straight-edge.... excellent product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
