Lucy ★★★★★

Switching between the closed and open comb plates is seamless, and I love having the option for a milder or more aggressive shave. The long handle gives me great control, even in tricky spots like under my nose.

Joseph S. ★★★★★

I was nervous about switching from cartridges, but the long handle gives me way more control and the closed comb plate is incredibly gentle on my sensitive neck. The heft of the head feels solid without being unwieldy, and I’m finally getting a close shave with zero irritation.

Grace O. ★★★★★

I've been wet shaving for years and always wanted to try an open comb, so the fact that this kit includes both plates in the box felt like a steal. The long handle gives great control, and the matte finish doesn't slip when my hands are soapy. It's a smooth, forgiving shave on the closed setting and
