WEISHI 9306 Chrome Twist to Open Double Edge Safety Razor Men's Shaver

I bought this to use at the gym as I didn't want to risk losing my vintage 1960 Gillette Superspeed. The Weishi is physically identical to the Superspeed but doesn't hold a blade as firmly, and a tiny bit more blade is exposed to the skin when shaving.. That leads to slight movement of the blade and a much harsher shave with more nick's and a sore face after shaving. Switching from one to the other mid-shave really demonstrates how much better a 60 year old Gillette is than a cheap modern copy.

A decent lightweight safety razor, ideal for your travel bag. It gives a very mild, not remotely aggressive shave.It'll be interesting to see how long the butterfly mechanism lasts .. it's still early days, and the first one I've had.

The dull part of the blade sticks out a bit at each end of the head. Even though this is not the edge of the blade, it is still quite sharp and I would prefer this were covered. So, docked a point for that. Worse, after about a year of only occasional use, with less than half a dozen blade changes, the butterfly mechanism broke, rendering the razor useless as the blade could no longer be changed. (It sounded as though the shaft inside the handle, that drives the mechanism, snapped.) Other than that, it was OK.

not what I ordered but good enough.

Used to using Gillette Mack 3. Started shaving the traditional way to help the environment (no plastic and only metal blades to recycle). I get a better shave and it’s cheaper. This is a good razor to start off with, just in case you can’t get used to shaving this way.

Excellent product. Even better than I expected. A mild razor which was just what I required. Well worth the money

A good cheap mild shaver with a very smooth mechanism. Excellent

Great clean and important close shave
