As advertised - shaving and hair removal

Honestly for the price you can't beat this deal. If you're feeling a bit nostalgic and want to try shaving with a razor, it was definitely an adaptation, but this razor is sharp enough to get a close enough shave. The ebony feels solid in the hand and the razor blade feels heavy and holds an edge. Just remember to get a sling if you intend to use one of these regularly =o

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some cons

Updated Rating: Steel Trash Not Ready

This is a burr bleed on a blade available right out of the box. It takes me at least 30 minutes to pull the notch out. If you don't know how to sharpen a straight razor well I would recommend spending a few bucks more. Update: The confirmed nickname almost sucks. Serious fault in the blade. This razor is said to be unusable because it takes hours to fix a $20 razor. Picked up a lot of steel. Shaved once. Dried it out like any other straight razor. See photo: rusted overnight. I just don't…

Pros
  • Stable Test Results
Cons
  • Doubtful

Sincerely impressed!

I was a bit reluctant to order because of the many negative reviews. So glad I ordered one! The fit of the finish on this model is superb compared to my other straight gold dollars. Facts: 1) Does it come ready to shave? Needs more sharpening, it's sharp instantly. Just not to my liking. 2) If you haven't invested $100 in stones and a good belt; then you should start here. 3) Great for beginners and while not a Dovo it is better than Zerton.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • infinitely slow

I love it, for the price I can't imagine anything.

Love it, for the price I can't think of anything better. Yes, there are some drawbacks to grinding, engraving, and laser engraving when you look closely, but when it comes to shaving and sharpening, it gets the job done very well. I would definitely buy it again having used it many times now. I actually had a full beard when I first used it, bought it because I was planning on shaving it off. I wasn't using clippers or anything, I just dove right into this bad boy and he didn't bat an eyelid…

Pros
  • Quality finish
Cons
  • Older model

Great value for money

I found this razor very affordable and ready to shave when it arrived. I've read bad reviews about bad shaving qualities. no problems found. I originally bought this razor for travel so needed a case to protect it and it came in a sturdy leather case which was perfect. I have 2 other much more expensive razors and I have to say that this razor gives an equally good shave. The processing of the handle seems a bit flimsy, but otherwise I am satisfied with this product and would recommend it to…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Can hurt

Great product

Razor was as described by BOTH. Arrived shave ready. I made several motions with the belt as advertised, lathered it up, and began shaving. quality product. I wish American straight razors were still made, but since that's not the best for us, old farts who like a good clean shave for the cleanliness and comfort NOT attainable with a safety razor,

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

As advertised, a good sharp razor, comfortable and with a good grip.

For the price it offers a good shave right out of the box, I've never used it before and managed to get a shave that easily matches my old famous 5 blade disposable can record. Sharp enough to pull out hairs and the edge was clean enough that I never cut myself, even the first time! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn but doesn't want to spend money. They may need a thorough cleaning or sharpening before the next shave. The blade is thick so it should last a while, it refreshes…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Some cons

May need a beveling and polishing kit

I believe they should be sold as razors that are almost shaved, the fit and finish was better than expected for the price, for a razor under $30. I wasn't expecting perfect, it just needs some tweaking and a few small touches to personalize it after killing the edge and going through all the steps of beveling and going from 1000 whetstone to 3k to 5 and then to my fine slab of slate . It pops hair out like a high dollar razor. It's definitely a good candidate if you're just starting out in…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • All OK

Not as described, many flaws.

Unadvertised razor. There is no spacer between the blade and scales. Scales are not cimetric. This is my third gold dollar razor and this one is useless. I would not recommend this shaver. I didn't pay attention to the sharpness.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
