Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Benjamin W. ★★★★★

The stainless steel handle gives this razor a nice heft that makes it feel really solid in hand, and the closed comb glides smoothly without any tugging. I’ve gotten the closest shave I’ve had in years on the first try.

Madison ★★★★★

The closed comb head feels incredibly secure against my skin, and the extra heft from the handle helps the razor do all the work without any pressure.

Ava ★★★★☆

The closed comb head works perfectly for my daily shave, no irritation even on my sensitive neck. The weight gives you confidence, though the knurling could be slightly grippier when wet. Very solid build quality for the price.
