Review on πŸͺ’ QSHAVE Long Handle Safety Razor for Men or Women - Matte Black Steel Coating, Butterfly Open, 4-inch Handle (1 Razor + 5 Titanium Coated Blades + Leather Travel Case) by Jill Ellis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great choice for women and those who shave their legs

I've only had it for about a month but I really like this shaver so far. I don't know anything about safety razors so I was a bit nervous but I wouldn't switch back now. The blade is easy to change, much cheaper than women's razors, and I really like the sleek black color. I've heard that many safety razors have an issue with the handle on the bottom slowly unwinding on its own, but I check mine every day and it's always where I left it. I was also worried about rust from leaving my razors in the shower, but at the moment there is no rust at all. I'm pretty sure it will stay that way. At the same time he said: 1. Do not use the blade that comes with the kit. Just do not. Get Astras or something.2. Do I find cleaning difficult? If I opened it up every day and took out the blade it wouldn't be that hard, but there are little grooves on the bottom that soap likes to stick to. With disposable razors you can usually just wash them under water, but sometimes it takes a little more than my water pressure can handle. However, I still prefer this disposable razor and know relatively little about safety razors so this could be common with all. This requires an additional random check of your legs. This is going to be an all-purpose safety razor, so I'm not counting it as a specific razor or in my star rating, but it definitely needs a few more passes than a disposable razor. On the one hand you don't have to clean it as often as a disposable razor and this saves you time, but on the other hand you can't put as much strain on your leg as with a disposable razor, so that's it. with each stripe there is less surface. Overall I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend all single use users to switch to them. This will save you a lot of money. Blades are a lot cheaper than a pack of new razors, and if you buy razors advertised for women, you'll save even more thanks to the pink tax. Of course, this doesn't solve the whole problem of single-use plastic (but I bought it from Amazon, so obviously I have a job there too). I only use soap with this, but I get shaving soap in the mail from Etsy and I'm really looking forward to trying them out together!
