SHAVING REVOLUTIONLong Handle Double Edge Safety Razor - Butterfly Open Razor 10 Japanese Stainless Steel Double Edge Blades - Close, Clean Shaving Razor Men., Black Long Handle, 12 Piece Set

To add perspective, I am old enough to remember the Gillette pirate asking "How are you fixed for blades?", plus I actually used one of these way back in the Jurassic period before disposable razors were born. So I've been using disposables for a long time now, but they always required going over areas again and again to get a smooth shave, so I decided to try the old double blade style to see how it did.It does take a different grip, it's heavier and shaped much different than the disposables, and it doesn't have a swiveling head like some disposables have, so you have to pay attention to the angle you hold it, but once you get used to it it does a better shave than the disposables ever can.Since, as I stated, I had used one way back when I quickly got used to it, no arteries severed, no serious blood loss, and the shave didn't take as long to finish, those double edge blades are much sharper and cuts cleaner, so it doesn't require going over and over the same areas.Add in the money saved buying something I'm going to throw away after a couple of uses, buying blades is much cheaper.This razor is well made, has a solid feel, and the handle gives a good grip. I can see owning it for a long time, it's built to last.Like I said, I ain't going back!UPDATE:OK, it's official - Nope, ain't gonna go back.I'll admit my first use was more of a self sacrifice than a close shave, it's been a number of years (Do NOT ask!) since I've used one of these, and you do have to be careful - these blades are MUCH sharper than the disposables, so your stroke and placement must be controlled. My nicks were mostly caused by moving my hand in the wrong way, a way I got away with with the disposables, but not with these edges!I've been using it now for over a month, and I no longer nick myself, and the shave is both smoother and faster, I don't have to go over the same areas several times to get all the beard, it is mostly all gone on the first stroke, so it's less irritating to my face since I don't have to do it over and over.I just ordered some Feather blades, they are supposed to be the cream of the crop for blades, I' looking forward to an even smoother/easier shave once they get here.I'll letcha know...

Very nice razor. It’s super smooth for me, feels a lot more gentle than other safety razors I’ve tried. The blades included didn’t feel as sharp as others I’ve used but that’s really a matter of personal preference. I didn’t get any nicks or cuts with it at all though, which I usually do. It’s got a good weight to it and I like the longer handle. Also I like how you don’t have to take it apart to change the blade. The glossy finish and overall balance make it feel soft, smooth and light while shaving though, where others I’ve used can feel like shaving with a Ka-Bar knife. Time will tell how durable it is but I’m really happy with it so far.

This is a well made razor with a great look, that if it was a milder shave it would have had 5 stars. Truthfully I wanted to rate it 3 stars, but I feel that would be unfair considering the price and my issues are personal due to my sensitive skin.So for a TTO DE razor, it is a well made razor. Being made in China does not hamper its build. It has good weight (though lighter than the razor I bought to replace it), nice long handle length, and being a TTO is really convenient (and the mechanism feels really solid). Again, it would be a 3 compared to the razor I'm currently using, but again, comparing a $16 (that I got for $13 thanks to Prime Day) to a $50 razor is simply not fair. For the price, you really cannot ask for better.The razor itself shaves well, but as I said, it was too aggressive for my skin, the second pass always left me exceedingly raw, and it was just not comfortable for me. That said, it isn't enough for me to return it. If anything I'm keeping it as a back up or as a gift for a friend that might want to get into DE shaving.Really the take away for me is this is a quality razor for the price and a good introductory. Just be aware that it is somewhat aggressive (really on the upper level of medium aggressiveness), which could cause issues if you have sensitive skin like mine.

Okay so I couldn’t write a review until I used it. Got it delivered yesterday and immediately noticed how well built it was. This is a replacement for a top loading unscrew type, I’ve never been a huge fan of butterfly loading but I figured I’d give it a second try. The product comes with a brush and ten razors which is great. I loaded it with a new razor and waited till the morning. My first shave was smooth and the razor felt great in my hand. This is definitely a must have, WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN!

This is an amazing product it's everything that you would expect and more. It does everything every part of your body that you need to do with pure precision and accuracy as it really takes hair off from the root I would recommend it to anyone. For me it's a life changer since I'm on the road a lot and I travel for work and for pleasure I take it anywhere it's easy and the one thing that I have realized that after using it I take out the blade and I clean it and I clean the shaver itself I pad it dry and I allow both pieces to dry on the side and then reuse the same blade and it is like it's brand new again I can't stop telling you how good this product is if I could afford to have a hundred of them and give them away to all my friends I would this is an amazing product durable strong yet I'm very well put together and a shiny coat. Like I said if I can get a hundred of them for friends and family in donations for a woman shelter I would I love them
