I have tried 3 different brands of Safety Razor this one is the best! Beautiful, classic and functional design. Has a quality feel in your hand. Easy and secure way to load and unload the blade. Have not had any issues with the nob becoming loose while shaving.
What I have learned - like many the thought of a safety razor was terrifying but in fact it’s less deadly than a fancy 5 blade razor! I have tried using in the shower but because of back pain it wasn’t a great experience. Sitting on the side of the tub I found I wasn’t able to comfortably get a good shave. So in the bath worked best for me.
Slow down! It will take a bit longer than the razors we are use to get yourself all prettied up! First of all - get to know your work surface. My knees have little dimples that I have to be mindful of or I’ll end up with tiny cuts. Keep the skin very wet and a little sudsy. Don’t press hard, short strokes are key. Finding the right angle to shave is kinda like knowing how much pressure to put on the fuel petal to get to the speed limit. It will come with time.
Conclusion - this is a great buy!! The razor is simple and functional. Has a good weight, the design makes it easy to hold and not slippery. I have tried different blades but found the Rockwells to be the best for my skin and fur needs. At the price I use a blade per shave. If I’m going to spend 20 minutes or so shaving I wanted it to be as smooth and close as possible. Give this razor a try!! It cost less than 3 fancy coffee drinks and will last you a lifetime. Heck you can leave it to your grandkids in the will.
