PEARLFlexi Adjustable Safety Razor Black Edition - Reusable Metal Razor made of 100% Brass | Eco Friendly Double Edge Razor for Men | Men's Shaving Razor for Father's Day Gift Option

I ordered this and it took about a week to arrive. The first one they sent was the open comb version by mistake. The return process was straight forward and easy. A week later I received the correct close comb razor.The packaging is very good so there was no damage to the razor or other contents inside the box. I like that a stand is included along with a cleaning cloth and five tucks of blades (11 blades per tuck) for you to try. The stand is heavy, stabile and works very well. The machining of the razor is excellent. The finish is extremely nice as well. Every part of the device is well engineered and produced. It looks very nice and much more expensive than it actually is. It feels nice in my hand and I enjoy the heft of it. I really like the two piece design and the adjustability of the razor which is a main reason I bought this instead of a Merkur 34C type of design. The adjustment is fast and efficient and I prefer that over the Rockwell R6C type of razor which is a three piece design that has to be disassembled for adjustment. The blade gap isn't uneven and the handle doesn't rattle so I think the issues from the earliest versions have been well resolved now. I'm really happy with it.I'm new to wet shaving with a DE safety razor but I did a ton of research before choosing the Flexi. I decided on an adjustable razor because I didn't want to end up buying several razors so I could cover all of the bases in regard to aggressiveness. Depending on time between shaves, how many passes I'm making, how quickly I need to shave etc. I may need or want a more or less aggressive blade gap. The Flexi can do it all in a manner that is quick, simple and smooth. Plus it looks great!So how does it shave? That depends. As I said, I'm new to wet shaving so I'm still looking for the right blade for my skin and beard type. I'm also still learning the technique. The more I use it, the better my shaves get. Once you learn how to hold it, it even details nicely. The handle is a good length for my hand and the knurling is just right so it is comfortable to hold and doesn't feel slippery. The adjustment feature is very smooth with no notches so you can freely adjust it to any point you like. Changing blades is easy as well.If you are new to DE safety razors like me, (I shaved with a Mach III for over 30 years) be aware that there is a leaning curve. Don't put much pressure on the razor. Let the weight of the tool do most of the work. Hold it at a shallow angle to your face (the top cap should be touching your face) and watch carefully to make sure you maintain that angle. Take short strokes and don's get in a hurry. Pick a good blade brand and stick with it until you get the hang of DE shaving. You can experiment with different blades after you know what you're doing and find what works best for you. I've found that starting at setting three on the first pass and dialing it down to two for the second pass works well. If I want a third pass, setting 1 works for me. Don't use dull blades. Using a sharp blade lets you cut through the hair with fewer strokes or passes and reduces skin irritation. To be transparent, my first DE shave was terrible and left me looking like an attack victim. I've since learned a lot and I'm enjoying shaving more than I ever have. If you don't think you can deal with the learning curve, get a Henson AL13. It's about the same price (not adjustable though). If you get the angle wrong with that one, it just won't shave so the risk of a cut is very low. However, if you want a classy looking, well made and affordable adjustable razor, I think the Flexi is very good. Over time, the money you save on blades will pay for the razor which makes it a good investment. Hopefully my experience has been helpful for you. Happy shaving!

All I can say is WOW! The razor is hefty and has a great finish and machining. I unpacked it from its case and tossed a wizamet super iridium blade in and checked the evenness of the blade gap and it was perfect all the way from setting 1 to 6. (I know some YouTubers and early customers had blade gap problems) The adjustment knob lines up exactly with the 1 and 6 markings. I started my shave with a full short beard (not stubble) at setting 6 and it just cut through my hair like butter. It was incredibly smooth at it's highest setting and I didn't get any irritation or cuts, which surprised me because of YouTube reviews saying it was very aggressive. I then turned down to setting 2 or three for an against the grain pass and again it was very smooth and efficient. I am very happy with this razor and I'll probably never have to buy another razor again if I take care of it. I was a bit reluctant to buy it initially because of the problems people had with it when it first came out. I don't know if I just happened to get a good one or if Pearl upped their quality control but the razor I received is wonderful. P.S make sure to register your warranty in case anything does happen.

So I did not receive the open comb version that I ordered. I received the close comb version. I was a bit disappointed but decided to give the razor a try and see how it shaves. I put a Personna Comfort Coated blade in and put the dial to number two. I was not sure how aggressive the razor would be and to my surprise I chose the right blade and the right setting! I have sensitive skin with a medium coarse beard. I had a three day growth and did a three shave pass. I did get a BBS shave with the number two setting but next time will try the number three to see if it cuts the face fur any better.I do wish I would have gotten the open comb as it would have been my very first open comb razor and I was looking forward to getting one. I have been using safety razors for about twenty years now. I switched due to cost of cartridge razors and in grown hair issues. I have around twenty five other razors in my collection and wanted to give this brand a try.The razor is super well built. Will definitely last a lifetime and will be one of those hand down to my grand kids type of razor. The dial is smooth not the click type and I did check out the razor very good to make sure it did not have the issue others had in the past with the head being uneven. Mine is super spot on! Not much more to say except yes I do recommend this razor to anyone looking for a very heavy super well built last you forever razor. I will keep this closed comb version but will try again to order the open comb later.

So many great things about this razor. If you didn’t know it’s a clone of the rex supply adjustable razor, so it should be great. I feel it performs better than my vintage Gillettes (fatboy and slim) even when using my favorite blades. The weight makes it easy to shave without pressure. No blade feel to me at the settings I’ve tried. No chatter. It came with 50 Willy’s blades that are decent. That said the knurling is not good, I think they need to make it extra deep so it doesn’t get smoothed out by the plating. You can see they have other models with different knurling so you may want to consider one of those. The stand is functional (and included) but I find this type annoying to use and I can imagine it tipping over. The logo on the bottom is kind of cheesy looking. The blade change is more complicated than a Gillette adjustable but it’s inherent to the design.I also don’t think If you want an ambassador that this will scratch your itch. It’s made me just want the real deal more.

Recently picked up this razor, V12, and must say that the machining, fit and finish and handle length is just what I was hoping for. Plus, the knurling on the handle provides a secure hold, even with wet hands. I'm still getting used to the heft of this razor; it is built like a tank, but so far, it provides me a good, comfortable shave even a 1-2 settings.

Although I prefer the butterfly configuration of double edged safety razors, this 2 piece design functions flawlessly. Loading and aligning the blade is straight forward. The length and weight of this shaver are pleasingly acceptable. Quite satisfactory as not being too heavy and very manoevrable since the handle is not long.Calibrating the blade angle by dialing in the 1-6 settings is visible via the indexing marker. Turning the handle adjustment is smooth.Altogether it is a fine implement and competes well , if not surpassing the Merkur Futur model and no need for multiple plate inserts as with the Rockwell shaver. (And the Rockwell is a fine unit indeed).As for cost, it is not the least expensive but I believe it will provide for a long service record.

The media could not be loaded.  La alineación de la navaja es mala y el cabezal es asimétrico, la barra de seguridad está muy cerca de la navaja por lo que provoca un mal angulo de afeitado, solo funciona bien si está en el nivel de ajuste .5 y 1.

I have been doing wet shave since 5 years and I regularly use my Gillette Super Adjustable 109 from the year 1975 which was passed on to me by my father.I really liked the feel and efficiency of the Pearl Flexi Open Comb Razor the moment I started using it. I have heard that earlier models had some alignment issues and the manufacturer was very prompt in replacing them. But all that seems to be sorted now. No alignment issues, no rattling of internals when shaking, adjustment seems to work perfectly.I use 7 O' Clock Super Platinum with Proraso Shaving Soap and the results are very good. Very little razor burn, good glide and slick. I did 2 passes and did not feel the need for a 3rd pass. I started with blade adjustment 3 and later cranked it up to 5 and this range seems to work fine for me. I did 4 shaves on a single DE blade and it looks good for another pass. Received 55 pieces of Willy's DE blades with the package, but I have not tried it yet.Overall this is one of the best Safety Razors that can be bought in India and can give a lot of more expensive international razors a run for their money. It is definitely on the heavier side, but definitely adds to the feel.

The Pearl Flexi is a fine adjustable double edge razor. It's well made and on the heavy side.

It's a great razor beautifully madeThe adjustments work nicely.No rattling noise as some people reportedIts for those people who are wet shavers for sometime since you need to work it with expertise Give it a weeks time to get the feel and the way it works.Then you will love it.I have quite a few adjustables,the Merkurs,Parker,Vintage Gillette's and i would rate this equal to them,much better than the Viking Emperor which has alignment problemsUse the least aggressive blade start with setting 1,get the feel and there you goBuy it and it will go on to the next generation
