Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Grace I. ★★★★★

The knurling on this handle is grippy even with wet hands, which I appreciate during my morning shave. It glides smoothly and I haven't nicked myself once since switching.

Hazel ★★★★★

The longer handle gives me way better control compared to my old short-handle razor, and the knurling keeps it secure even when wet. I finally got a close shave without any irritation on my neck.

Owen ★★★★★

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now, and the longer handle gives me much better control around my jawline compared to shorter models. The knurling feels secure even with wet hands, so no slipping mid-shave. It’s definitely improved my routine without any irritation.
