Japanese Straight Razor (Black)

Excelente calidad

I went from a Mach 3 to this feather SS Japanese style razor. That's the perspective I'm coming from. I've never shaved with a safety razor or a straight razor before, so I can't compare it to others on the market. I've given it 5 stars because I have no complaints at all. The blades are cheaper, sharper and last longer than a Mach 3. The blades are very secure. I love the handle . . . good grip. Yes, I've cut myself more with this than the Mach 3, but I'm new at it and have improved a lot very quickly. I haven't had an ingrown hair yet! I bet this is a lot easier to shave with than a regular straight razor because their is no handle to deal with. The downside is that the blade is a little dangerous to have around the bathroom unless you buy the plastic safety cover that fits around it--sold separately. Highly recommended. One thing to think about if you are like me, coming from a cartridge razor, is that this takes a lot more time. It takes me 20 minutes to shave! I mean. . . I'm not rushing it or anything. . . Might be able to rush a 10 minute shave if I was in a real hurry. But if you don't have that kind of time to add to your routine, stick with a cartridge razor.

It is costly but Feather's blades are so good that I don't mind paying for this razor. It is actually great and pleasant to use.

When you get this razor delivered, the first thing you realize is that you've probably bought items of similar quality from Target for around 10 bucks. Not that the quality isn't good, but the manufacturer definitely knows they have a niche product and they are charging a premium for it. As far as the razor goes, it handles well, feels perfect in your hand, and is a definite improvement over the standard folding straight razor design. So you can probably tell I'm having perhaps a little remorse over the price but not the product. That's definitely the case. But that being said, I've been shaving with conventional straight razors for a while and I absolutely love this razor. I read some other reviews where people mentioned that they would never use their old razor again. Honestly, I was hoping that wouldn't be the case because I love my traditional razors, but I definitely understand why they made that claim. This razor is outstanding. The grip on the disposable razor promotes the perfect angle for shaving. I read some reviews that stated that the SS promotes a better angle than the much more expensive DX but I can't comment on that having only the one of the two versions. The razor is little smaller than I had imagined. It's also very light. Both of those things turned out to be a good thing. The handle is easily big enough for my larger hands and the smaller blade length makes the 'careful' elements of the shave much easier. I'm glad it wasn't as large of a razor as I have thought it would be. Now on to the blades... This review is of the razor itself, but I don't think it would be a sufficient review without mentioning the blades as well. I picked up the Feather Professional blades. My understanding is that the super blades are sharper and longer lasting, but these are definitely the sharpest objects that I personally have ever come in contact with. They cut EVERYTHING they touch. A light graze across your arm will leave a perfect bald spot on your arm. They're scary sharp. Imagine getting your razor to the perfect sharpen, the perfect finish and the perfect strop. Add an extra 15% to that and that's where these blades are at. I was a little nervous about the sharpness of the blades when I ordered this. I tend to be a little hurried sometimes when I shave and I had imagined myself getting into troubles with this razor that a styptic pencil just couldn't pull me out of. It turns out that that really isn't the case. The blades are evil sharp, but the angle and control of the razor helps to adjust for that and you just get a good shave. All that said, I'm really happy with the purchase. I'll still say that you're paying close to $100 for a piece of equipment that should cost well under $20. But since there isn't anyone selling them at that price, I'd rather have paid what I did for it than to have gone without it. I did a lot of research before I made this purchase and I couldn't be happier with it.
