Loved it for the last 8 years and would have for many more. Unfortunately the safety lid screw lost to porcelain and broke clean of when it dropped into the sink. I thought this was a product I would only have to buy once.
I'm still waiting for my package!!!
Perfect razor, it's the second one I've bought and the longer handle is definitely a good upgrade. It's not directly aimed at me as a woman, but it works incredibly much better than all other razors I've tested.
Really good - but didn't last my whole life. Bought it in 2018. Today - almost 7 years later - it broke when I dropped the razor on the floor. The screw came loose from the top. I’ll see if it can be fixed, or if I need to buy a new one.
Very nice razor with good weight and balance. The length of the handle is pleasant if one is used to disposable razors like Bic, or if one has slightly larger hands. Also a good grip on the handle when your hands are wet.
Got it as a Christmas gift, overall okay but it shaves unevenly since it goes closer on one side and farther away on the other. Uses Feather blades.
Very comfortable to use with Feather blades.
I like the weight and quality feel, but I thought the razor would shave closer. Still, I'm satisfied.
I like the weight of the razor and the length of the handle, but I find it difficult to shave close, hence the lower rating.
Easy to shave with, but not a close shave
