Best shave I ever had

I finally got fed up with the big brand supermarket razors. And purchasing this safety razor was the best choice. Not only does it offer a far superior shaving experience, but you are also helping to save the planet (no more plastic garbage).
The quality and design of this handle are very nice, it has a good weight, and just overall feels much better.

I will never go back to the supermarket razors again.

Good razor

Bought 2 of these- one for myself and one for my 16 year old son. We shared a special Saturday morning where I taught him to shave properly!

Awesome razor

This was my introduction to the world of DE razors and I love it. Easily the best shave I've ever had.

The razor has a nice weight to it and changing blades is brilliantly easy.

Ive tried a few other razors but hand down this is my favourite.

My first safety razor, a bit of a learning curve but I’m sure I’ll get better with practice. Give the closes shave I have ever had and I get way less irritation than I used to with cartridge razors.

As newbie to DE razors, I'm glad I own this one. Fits my large hands, and the weight makes for an easy shave.
