Safety Razor – Premium Double Edge Safety Razor for Men's Shaving, Three Piece Single Blade Razor for Men, Solid Brass Handle DE Razor, Suits Double Edge Razor Blades, Gifts for Mens Shave

I bought this razor to replace one (from a different manufacturer) whose head would no longer screw onto the handle. This razor is less aggressive than my previous razor, but that was exactly what I needed. Generally speaking, less aggressive razors are considered good for people just getting started with safety razors as it is less likely to cause nicks and cuts. That said, this razor turned out perfect for my thick facial hair on sensitive skin. I've had far less skin irritation and no nicks that weren't my own fault for rushing through shaving. Since it is a less aggressive razor, the few nicks and cuts I have received have been far milder than previously, rarely needing more attention than just patting dry with a towel.I am certain that the difference is this razor since it is the only thing that changed for me as I'm still using the same shaving cream and blades. Even shaving after four or five days of growth is an easy enough task, though this razor is mild enough that shaving every day is no problem. I've used it both ways, and compared to my previous razor (where I felt the need to let my face have at least a two day break between shaves), this razor has been perfect for me.

Just had my first shave and I am very happy with the razor. Good solid weight, comfortable in my hand, and an excellent shave. Is this a good razor for begginers? If you have a thick or coarse beard the answer is yes. If you have a fine sparse beard this is probably too much razor for you. One feature I want to mention that I didn't see in the description of the razor is elements of the the design. The sides are open a bit and there are cutouts in the bottom plate that really facilitate rinsing. I don't know if there are any other razors with these design elements. This is a great feature. I was very impressed at the thought that had to go into this razor. I have an addition to this review. Here in the Southeast it has gotten pretty hot. When it gets hot the Switch and Save energy saving system gets busy. There is a Switch and Save on the water heater. Today when I was ready for the evening shave I discovered that the system had curtailed the water heater. Now the water wasn't cold but it wasn't a desirable hot for a shave. The Flagship Razor still did an excellent job. This is a terrific razor. I recommend it more than before. This is a great razor at a very reasonable price!

I had a merkur long handle for a few years. Thought it was good, it eventually broke. Bought this based off the look and relative price. I am pleasantly surprised. The weight is perfect. Handle feels secure in my hand as opposed to a somewhat slippery merkur handle. I used the same blades as before and this razor gave me a much closer shave, just letting the weight of the razor do the work. Excellent razor.

With the box this comes with it will make a great gift. The razor looks great and feels good in the hand. A medium aggressive razor, so go slow and pay attention. But it will give you a great shave while feeling and looking good in the hand.

At long last I have found a razor that gives me a close shave with little effort. Razor glides through my tough beard and allows me to cut my shave time in half. Beginners have not fear, this razor is a pleasure to use and will not hurt a bit, just let it do the work and your done! Much less expensive to go double edge than the 2,3,4,5 blade models that bounce on a tough beard. Well built, good weight, and easy to rinse after shaving....No need to look any further, this is a great razor!

This a really nice quality razor. Nice and heavy enough to give you a clean and close shave, easy to clean.comes in a nice box if you need to give as a gift.(Your spouse or significant other will thank you in many ways...)

It does well. Holds a blade snugly, solid and strong, and the handle has a rough grip to allow me to maneuver it while shaving, even when it gets wet.

I was looking for a special, not over priced shaver.... well look no further. This is all you will ever need. Perfect balance in your hand, the handle length is correct. And it looks like is costs a hundred dollars. I like how it puts the blade In the correct tension by bending it slightly, this makes for a perfect contact shave for your skin.You will be happy with this shaver.

It's taken me a while to find a razor I like and I can recommend this one is nice and heavy and gives a really good shave, not much effort has to go into a good shave.
