This product is excellent value for the money. I’m new to using a straight edge razor and I have to say it is easy to pick up (5 minutes after watching a youtube video - don’t be scared! Ignore all the nay sayers about you slashing yourself). There are simple rules : Always keep the blade angled off your skin at around 30 degrees, always keep the blade perpendicular to the direction of travel and don’t force (think dragging vs forcing). If the edge perpendicular to the direction of travel you will slash (think about it!). From a product standpoint, it is a well made handle and the blades are plenty sharp! The handle takes a little bit to figure out from a blade replacement standpoint but there’s plenty of youtube videos to sort you out. The handle is comfortable, ergonomic and a good weight. I would like the handle to be a bit longer but that’s just me, not the product. I used regular shaving foam and the shave is really close, like baby skin close! So much better than the disposable stuff and you’re not filling in landfills with plastic! Our fore-bearers got this right!! And what’s not manly about being able to use a single blade to shave !! Don’t tell the ladies but these shavers/razors would probably be good for leg hairs too !!! 😉 Read more
