IS IT GOOD?: Yep, it's great! —_____—Read more to find out why I think so.
Yes, I got the product for free, but I don't care what the product is, how much it costs, or who it's made by, if it's no good it ain't gettin' a good review.
Good or bad I'll honestly let you know why I think so.
SHIPPING: Prompt with reasonable arrival time of four days.
BLADES: Yep, five included.
I didn't even give them a try.
Sorry, but I'm a bit of a blade snob and my face likes a certain brand of blades whose name means star in Latin.
I couldn't give this razor an honest review without using my fave blade.
QUALITY AND FEEL: Excellent!
Everything is well machined and edges that should be straight and flat are.
The blade is held very securely and I didn't feel at all reticent about crankin' it down good an tight!
I once snapped the bolt right off a $60 handle which was made of alloy high in zinc as most high-end handles are.
WEIGHT: 92 grams
My most expensive big name razor comes in at 70.3 grams and costs 2.5 times as much and my other big name that costs twice as much comes in at 81 grams.
SHAVING EXPERIENCE: Top-notch my friends...Top-notch!
When I first saw how much of the blade was exposed, I almost didn't even give this machine a trial run.
But,I bit the bullet for the veracity of this review.
Usually I would see this much exposed blade and expect some serious blade chatter, but I didn't experience anything even noticeable.
Not aggressive at all. Great for beginners and veteran DE shavers.
I shaved a 3-day growth with ease.
About three passes and my mug was smooth as silk!
I even used some improper techniques such as pressing too hard to see if it would eat me up.
It didn't. I'm impressed!
Usually with my highend razors by the time I get a 3-day growth off and smooth I'm starting to get some razor burn.
I got zero irritation or nicks. I mean ZERO!!!
EXTRA TIPS FOR NOOBS:
DO NOT press the blade into your face. Too much pressure and your face will look like it's been through a meat grinder.
If you're a beginner to DE shaving DO NOT shave like you would with a double or triple blade disposable. These blades and handles don't work like that!
This handle has plenty of weight to do most of the work.
DO I RECOMMEND: 100%!!!
I am beyond pleasantly surprised by the quality and performance of this razor!
I can't believe that it just outperformed my favorite German-made razor that costs 2.5 times more!
I'm gonna say it again. I just can't believe how good this thing is!
Now I feel duped by the other brands that I've paid way too much for.
Says the typical snob DE razor connoisseur,"Well, my razor cost $80 and was made on the moon by Oompa-Loompas and can only be used by seasoned veteran DE shavers. And if you're not a seasoned veteran my razor will make your face look like you just tried your first shave with a straight razor. It's also an alloy that is high in zinc, so if you drop it that's probably gonna be the end of its life."
Getcha some, Goolisan!
