LORD RAZORS Shark Long life Safety Razor SH.25

Owned for a few months and travelled internationally with it and it’s held up well so far, which is all I expect from a cheap handle. Blades work great and it’s easy to disassemble

The day before yesterday I took a chunk of lip off my face with that razor. The blade is not at the right angle and there is too big of a gap between the blade and the seat. Almost every time I used that razor I bleed. I found my old razor that I misplaced during a move, and promptly threw away the Shark razor.I have used Shark blades for 10 years. They are great. I will never buy the actual razor from them again though.

Made in Egypt by Lord. This is not another Chinese razor. That was partly why I chose this one.As I'd heard, this razor is aggressive, much more so than my vintage 1959 Gillette Tech that I've been using, needing to shim it to get a more aggressive and efficient shave. The Shark razor needs no shims. This was another reason I wanted it. A less aggressive razor requires more passes, which irritates my skin more. I like to shave in two passes and start aggressive and finish mild. This razor helps me do that. I haven't tried another aggressive razor to compare it with.Importantly, the loaded blade has no visible rippling that would produce an uncomfortable shave. If there is discomfort, this might be due to the blade, the technique, or one's particular skin. I can't vouch for the quality control as I've only purchased one of these razors, but mine fully met my expectations. I can update with any issues that arise. I'm not impressed with the plastic handle, but I didn't expect much from it and it can be replaced. I used the handle from my Gillette Tech, and it worked great. I bought this for the head. If you're getting into safety razor shaving, buy a pricier more mild one with a solid handle and this one to use with that handle for your first pass.

Very decent inexpensive travel razor. From what I understand, the head geometry and handle length match the Merkur 23C, which is about 3-4 times as much. This makes the Shark a better choice for travel.

would buy again

Perfect angle and blade gap- two passes are enough for a BBS shave.

It is so good . Good material

Safety razor nice quality
