Review on MIRACLE Barber Straight Razor: The 💈 Ultimate Japanese Straight Edge Razor for Men by Amanda Edwardz

This product is easy to confuse. There are no instructions so you must rely on the diagrams on the product page. Unfortunately, the blades shown in the top photo on the product page are these small, half-width blades that fit in a holder. The second photo shows how these blades are inserted into the holder. However the set of 10 blades I received with the holder are full width double edged blades as shown in my photo. So, like me, you would immediately assume at first glance that the wrong blades were delivered. After looking at similar products, I found that the blade should break in half. It doesn't say so anywhere on the product page, but I grabbed one of the paper-covered blades, folded it lengthwise, and kept bending until it finally snapped. Then the blade half is inserted into the holder as described. This should be clearly stated on the product page or better yet attached to that product along with instructions! Now that you have the blade in place and the holder seems to have a firm grip on it, you can try shaving with it. This is a bit inconvenient as to keep it stable you have to hold it and the lid seems to get in the way. But it works and the blade is sharp. When you're done, you need to fold the blade safely and securely into the holder. Unfortunately it isn't. Once installed it is not secure and if you turn the mount upside down the blade arm will fall out. This is of course dangerous and should not happen. The part of the holder had to be designed to hold the hand securely. Therefore, I cannot recommend this product at all. It's cheaply made and can be dangerous if the blade falls out under the wrong circumstances.
