Jason ★★★★★

The long handle gives me way better control than my old short-handled razor, and the butterfly open makes swapping blades effortless. Finally got a clean shave without any irritation on my neck.

Miles W. ★★★★★

The butterfly opening mechanism makes blade changes effortless, and the long handle gives me a much steadier grip while shaving. My skin feels smoother after each use with no irritation at all.

Samuel B. ★★★★★

After years of cheap cartridge razors, the butterfly opening mechanism on this safety razor makes swapping blades so much easier. The long handle gives great control, and I've had my closest shave yet with zero irritation.
