Straight Edge Barber Razor for Close Shaving - Professional Straight Blade Razor for Men with 100 Single Edge Blades- Mens Straight Razor Kit

This product is excellent value for the money. I’m new to using a straight edge razor and I have to say it is easy to pick up (5 minutes after watching a youtube video - don’t be scared! Ignore all the nay sayers about you slashing yourself). There are simple rules : Always keep the blade angled off your skin at around 30 degrees, always keep the blade perpendicular to the direction of travel and don’t force (think dragging vs forcing). If the edge perpendicular to the direction of travel you will slash (think about it!). From a product standpoint, it is a well made handle and the blades are plenty sharp! The handle takes a little bit to figure out from a blade replacement standpoint but there’s plenty of youtube videos to sort you out. The handle is comfortable, ergonomic and a good weight. I would like the handle to be a bit longer but that’s just me, not the product. I used regular shaving foam and the shave is really close, like baby skin close! So much better than the disposable stuff and you’re not filling in landfills with plastic! Our fore-bearers got this right!! And what’s not manly about being able to use a single blade to shave !! Don’t tell the ladies but these shavers/razors would probably be good for leg hairs too !!! 😉

I came at my first shave with this razor with just shy of a week’s worth of stubble. Here are some thoughts and impressions: 1. Dang this thing plowed through a lot of hair very quickly. I was able to remove large areas with ease. It does take more finesse to remove finer stubble. Cut myself in a couple of spots because I was hurrying. 2. This is basically relearning how to shave if you’re used to disposables. Don’t be me and try to sneak it into a fifteen minute window. I will be finishing this shave in about an hour here on my next work break (telecommute ftw). Results for the first fifteen minute session are in my first picture. 3. There’s a reason it’s called wet shaving. Don’t let it get too dry. I warn you now lol. 4. As far as shaving goes despite my trouble this was more consistent, smoother, and easier than the disposables. It might take a couple goes to really dial it in but I’m a fan. Overall the experience was both novel and instructive. The items themselves feel to me to be very high quality. If you are wanting to pick this up TRY IT. And good luck on your first venture.

Been using this for a while and can say that it is very sharp. Good quality, remember to clean it after every shave though or it might rust.

First and foremost this straight razor is my second one I have ever owned and this one is way better than the first one. Upon holding and using it you can feel the quality. The box and presentation is great and the blades are truly razor sharp. It comes with 100 and even thought they're disposable they're sharp enough for me to use each one multiple times so I will most likely get over a years worth of line ups and shaves for $10. I have no complaints. Quick tip, At first I thought the blades were too loose and it wasn't holding them tight enough but if you just open the top piece that holds the two razor blade holders together and pinch it a bit tighter it'll have a firmer grip on the blades once you put it back down to hold them. After each use I simple take out the blade rinse everything off and shake the water off then a quick rub on the towel and reinsert the blade and no rust at all whatsoever and replace it in the box. I'm assuming anyone who has complained about rust leaves it soaking wet and places it back into the box. Again the blades are really thin and truly razor sharp so be careful. This thing will glide right through your hairs and into your skin and give your skull a "hello there" if you're not careful. Bit of a learning curve if you've never used a straight edge so don't rush and first learn the right angle to hold it and you'll be shaving and edging with ease in no time.

The brad at the base of the lever that is designed to hold pressure on the removable blade and thus secure it fell off. I enjoyed the razor for the 4 uses but not happy it came apart. Thankfully I was drying the unit without a blade inserted when it broke. Update: Viking Revolution quickly saw my review and customer service was INCREDIBLY quick with presenting possible solutions for my satisfaction. Customer service was exceptional. I am not deterred to purchase other items from them because they took such great care of the issue. Not solicited but Im raising satisfaction to 5 stars. Don't hesitate to order from them.

This is the first time I write a review, but I had never been disappointed with something I bought—until now. While the packaging is impeccable and the experience starts off well, once you take out the razor—which has a nice weight and a handle that feels solid—the first thing I thought was, "Did I buy this used?" Some corners were dented, and it wasn’t clean or shiny like you’d expect stainless steel to look before its first use. The part where the blade goes has a kind of bridge that holds the blade between the two steel pieces, but without much effort, that piece just fell off. It's the part that’s supposed to hold everything together, and it's quite weak. Even the golden screw wasn’t properly in place. I understand it’s a relatively inexpensive product, but you have everything needed to make it a great one—those small details make all the difference.

I bought this item and have used it recently. I'm surprised by its quality. I definitely recommend it to everybody!

Bonne prise en main, livré avec 100 lames (japonaises) Satisfait pour la qualité et le prix

Llevo ya más de un año usándola y me sigue funcionando muy bien. Las cuchillas son de buena calidad y la herramienta sigue sin problemas. Es mi primer navaja de este tipo y vaya que lo recomiendo. Paciencia con la curva de aprendizaje pero eso recuerden es ajeno al producto en si.
