Great Razor - M. Schuette, May 16, 2008

I have used this razor for some time now, and I'm very impressed, I've been getting decent shaves, even in the "feeling out" period, and I actually look forward to shaving after I got my hands on a badger brush and some of the Sienna shaving cream from Crabtree & Evelyn. My only complaint is that the handle is a bit hard to grip at times, which isn't a problem so much with shaving, but makes it a huge problem to twist the head off to change the blade. I recently cut my fingers pretty good when they slipped while changing the blade, but I'm more to blame for that than the razor itself, after all, it was made to cut things. I would recommend this razor for just about anyone looking to get into wetshaving.

Olde 1904 - Donivan Coltrane Alley, Aug 06, 2007

Throw away your disposibles, and step into flavour country. Well constructed, good looking, and great price, my only complaint is how the blade is removed/changed on this beauty, it is a bit cumbersome as you have to take the unit apart. I plan on buying a Merkur that has the knob that opena and closes the razor, and putting this model in my "away" dopp kit.
