Never used a straight razor or shavette before so I warn readers of that. Of course I was naturally a little nervous about using it for the first time! But I'll start with the product itself - the blade section is made of two leaves that clip together securely. The blade is inserted between the two leaves and when clipped it produces a stable cutting edge. It is only a little fiddly locating the blade into a couple of studs on one of the leaves and then you are good to go. The leaves fold into the steel handle of the item. It seems well made and everything stable.
Shaving, well don't worry too much, the leaves only leave a tiny amount of blade protruding - you are not going to kill yourself even if you tried! First shave, well I had some cuts, no great surprise, but nothing too major. Invisible by the following day. Held the razor about 30 degrees from the line of my skin. But overall a pretty close shave notwithstanding my lack of experience. Cuts have reduced markedly and...

In a recent attempt to prove to myself that I can be manly, I purchased this razor on a whim upon realising that removing hair from my face with a knife is an excellent first step towards manliness. The razor arrived within days, and after a quick read of some "How to" guides online, I set about the task of de-stubbling my face.
Having read reviews comparing the task to fighting with Wolverine, I approached my first non-electric shave with caution. I prepared my face, used minimal blade angle to avoid cuts, and went about the process as slowly and methodically as possible. After some time of gently allowing the blade to glide across my cheeks, jawline, chin, and neck, I wiped my face clean and stood back from the mirror to admire my work.
It was then that from seemingly nowhere, hundreds of tiny beads of blood started to emerge from my face. I grabbed a towel and dabbed furiously to stem the flow, only for the bleeding to continue and for my previously...

Just learning to use this thing, my first impressions...nice balance, well made, holds blade securely, maybe a bit too securely for some people's liking..you will NEED caution needed to get blade in and out. Overall design is good, with a clean and surgical feel to it. The case and blades are a nice little bonus. Some hint it's bit small... not found that an issue TBH. In use... you can get a very, VERY close and clean shave... but there's no well behaved forgivness with this, razor cuts and niks are a very real hazard here and frankly; the blade is rarely to blame on this score (unless blunt of course), it's all about your skills, or lack of. It is NOT like a mach 10 (or whatever those over-priced 5 bladed things are called these days), however that's kind of the point... It's not just a quick shave process to simply scrape off that 5 o'clock shadow, it takes time, both to learn a method that feels good for you and the time taken for each shave. I have had this a week now, shaving...
