I'm not sure what the other guy said about getting the blade in and out, perhaps he didn't realize that the razor splits apart and slides open after you undo the "lock" on the spine. In fact, this is probably easier to load than a shavette and IMO sturdier as well. It feels more like a straight razor than a blade holder in that respect although not on the quality level of a Feather Artist for instance. At 1/4 the price you can hardly complain, although I think it can be found even cheaper if you shop around. I like the arabic writing on the side and the color scheme of the white handled model, looks really unique and has great character! Performance-wise with standard DE blades you can get almost anywhere and carefully snap in half it'll provide you with an equivalent shave to a top notch traditional straight razor without all the expense and variables associated...Read more 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Parker SRW Stainless Steel Straight Edge Barber Razor & 120 Shark Super Stainless Blades (Health and Beauty) I believe this product to be excellent for anyone considering to begin straight razor shaving! I used this product the day I received it in the mail. Being 18 and new to straight razor shaving, I was very inexperienced, and really did not know what the heck I was doing. I found the product very easy to use, and I managed to get the closest shave of my life, without cutting the heck out of my face! I will suggest that anyone using this product, or one like it, should take his time!!! If you try to hurry YOU WILL CUT YOURSELF! Make sure you have a good shave soap, and a brush, because canned shave creams will not cut it(no pun intended.)It would also be wise to purchase a styptic pencil (just in case you nick yourself and yes, you will nick yourself if you are not completely focused and careful. Make sure to also have a good moisturizing aftershave. Do yourself a little favor and do a little homework on straight razor shaving before you use the product, if you do not, you could make...Read more 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: By Mark W. "Mark W" (The Great Northeast) - See all my reviews This review is from: Parker SRW Stainless Steel Straight Edge Barber Razor & 120 Shark Super Stainless Blades (Health and Beauty) I love this combination of razor and blades. Replacable blades make this a much easier product to use than having to sharpen a traditional straight edge razor. The product is a fraction of the cost of the DOVO shavette and still comes with 120 blades. Also a superior shave to the Dovo in my opinion with these blades. A great deal all around. |
