Review on VIKINGS BLADE Crusader Adjustable Safety by Trish Edens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My new favorite razor

I've been a wet razor for many years and I think I'm well versed in double blade safety razors. I've used just about every top quality safety razor and I can tell you that razors are often overrated. They don't shave as closely as they claim. I can proudly say that this is NOT the case for the Crusaders. Hands down, this is my favorite razor I've ever had. The long handle and weight suit my personal preferences. Each side of the razor has different grooves, essentially giving you two razors in one. Use the grooved side for a closer shave and the smooth side for a gentler shave. I often get cuts on my neck where the skin is sensitive, so the smoother, soft side is perfect for shaving against the fibers on my neck. The razor has an adjustable handle to change the aggressiveness of the blade. I turn the knob half a turn to center it. My facial hair grows back pretty quickly so I need an adjustable blade to get the close shave I want. I've had no clog issues when it comes to rinsing this razor. I fill the sink with water and completely submerge the razor head in the water. A few good shakes will remove any excess hair and shaving cream. I believe this method works better than a quick rinse under the faucet. Don't sleep on this razor because it could be the last one you buy! (yes it feels so good)

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • No automatic shave
