Review on G.B.S DE Slant Bar Safety Razor - Sensitive Skin Support - Classic Stainless Steel Design with Protective Case - Enhanced Strength, Gentle Shave by Jim Jarvis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

**HEAVY** for tipping - better than a light hammer. I can't use the massive head. I will try the heavy grip with other heads.

The purchase price is cheap, so I was only able to keep it because of the case and a strong handle that fits most other shaving heads and can be reused as a hammer :). The head, on the other hand, is not good. If only roughly done (in China) but shaved well I could handle it, but the head was so massive it was unsafe to shave sensitive areas like mine. Mouth. The angled razor should be a bit light as you have to apply light pressure with it. It has both a massive head and a massive long handle, and the combination looks more like a light hammer than a razor. Even if it wasn't a tilt, the head is too heavy. I wonder where the design came from. Most of the new Tilt models sold today are based on an old design, often from Germany, that is over 50 years old. But I doubt there is another metal tilt head this massive. The photos don't show how fat the head is when viewed from the side. The weight of this razor is much heavier than the famous heavy razor like the Edwin Jagger Chatsworth. With the right head the grip would probably be ok, but not with the heavy tilt head.

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
