GREAT SHAVE!

I don't know why I didn't get one sooner! It's gonna save you A LOT of money in the long run & it should last a lifetime if you take care of it. I'm currently using the Derby blades because that's what's recommended for beginners since it isn't so aggressive but it's giving me a way closer shave then any cartridge razor I've ever used. If you're thinking of getting a safety razor just go for it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Ladies - if you're on the fence, do it. You won't regret it.

I decided to purchase this after researching zero waste living. I hated throwing away all the plastic used in disposable razors. However, I was afraid I would flay my legs with a safety razor, so I put off purchasing one. After some research, I decided to take a chance. I have been using this razor for several weeks now and I regret not doing it earlier. It's a smooth shave with few if any razor bumps that plagued me before.

If you are concerned about technique, there are videos that will walk you through it. Honestly, it's not that different from the disposables I was using; just don't push down and shave at a 30 degree angle. The blade that came with it is getting dull, so the next step is finding a brand/model of blade that works for me.
