Straight edge razor men without stabilizer barber straight razor with acrylic handle shaving safety razor

Came sharp and with case and a lot better quality

Very nice blade. I wanted to out down my safety razor and try something different. I was surprised for the price it's really good. Not fake. This is a real razor. The scales are made of low quality materials but you can't really argue with the price being so low. It's very sharp. The finish on the blade is not quite mirror but it looks very shiny with no obvious machinng marks. I honed my blade on a 3000/8000 grit stone and used some cerium oxide (glass polish powder) to lap the blade over a scrap piece of leather. I managed to shave my entire face without nics. I did have some razor burn that could be solved with more lapping. I'm gonna try a green polish bar. Overall a great purchase. Much nicer feeling skin vs my safety razor. A good beginner tool to try before deciding to invest in better razors.

If you think you can purchase this and start shaving think again. This is not shave-ready. I've been shaving with straight razors for several years and am very comfortable and would not recommend this as a starter blade because it isn't ready to rock out of the box, or at least the two I got were not. The scales are absolutely the worst cheap flimsy unergonomic you can find. BUT they are wonderful blades to test honing techniques on. After I hone and strop this with a Shapton 5k and then Nakayama JNAT it because a very nice sharp blade.

I bought two of these to learn on and experiment with before buying a higher end item. Straight edge razors have a bit of a romantic allure because they can last you a lifetime while representing a high level of shaving skill and providing incomparable control. These particular blades do need a bit of sharpening and stropping to get them to a point of providing a comfortable shave, but they sharpen up nicely and hold their edge well with minimal maintenance. That said, the scales are complete junk, so minus a star for that. I wouldn't consider these shave-ready so most people will probably need some sharpening equipment and a strop, which will cost considerably more than the blade itself unless you happen to have some stuff lying around. I personally have some whetstones and used an old belt paired with a polishing compound I had from a copper project as a strop and it worked well. Overall, I would recommend these to anyone who wants to try out straight edge razor shaving without dropping several hundred bucks on a blade. I generally stick to my double-edge safety razor because you don't need to be as dialed in while shaving as you do with a straight razor. It makes sense to start low-end in terms of price when trying out straight edge shaving because it's not for everyone. But, with a bit of work, you can get an excellent and very rewarding shave with these blades.

Good looking razor. Came facial hair cutting ready right out of the package. It's definitely a heavier/beefier razor than I'm used to. I had been using disposable blade straight razors for some time now. And those alone aren't created equal. But this is a Carbon steel blade and I can vouch that those are easier to maintain shape, and sharpness than stainless steel.

You definitely gotta hone it. It's not shave ready. But for the money it's awesome

This razor is relatively inexpensive. I bought it to learn how to hone without ruining one of my more expensive razors. In spite of the cost, I like the way it shaves.

i mean what can i say its low grade gold dollar steel. i buy them to practice honing. the thing about gold dollars are that i have some that are good or better than my high dollar razors. i have some that are absolute goat turds. i think i paid 12 bucks. if your gonna get a cheapo get a gold dollar. ive bought no name 30 dollar ones that are horrible and you cant shave with them. dont get me wrong you can slice and cut but not shave.

works great / price is right..happy with it
