Gets the job done but not the smoothests...
2 of 5 found this helpful I have been using this razor for a few days, maybe too short time to write a review but here it goes. I have tried it with different blades and while it gets the job done I find it uncomfortable on my skin, both during and after shaving. It does not feel smooth. Pros: Weight, size and balance and looks durable. Cons: a bit harsh on the skin, blade loading needs manual adjustments sometimes in my sample (I find that screwing the knob slowly with the head upwards helps...but even some cheap Chinese ones get it right all the time). I find that the top cap seems to have a small defect or maybe it's just not the best tolerances, because even though the blade edges are parallel to the safety bar and seemingly at the same distance from it, there is a bit more blade exposure in one corner so the blade looks uneven on one side only, but I don't feel a difference on the skin. The screw is a new design now, flat on two sides and apparently all zamak, which may be a potential problem in the long term (as with the Edwin Jagger 89). I think now a days there are better choices in the same price range, go check "leisureguy" list of recommended razors, for instance. FWIW, so far I can't say I recommend it.
