Van Der Hagen Safety Razor - Is It Any Good?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Reviewing the Van Der Hagen Safety Razor. The razor comes with five replacement DE blades. Throw them away. Otherwise it's a good product. The fit and finish is great and when paired with good blades it provides a closer shave than my disposable multi-blade razors.
The reasons I like this are the cost, footprint, and retro cool factor. Quality blades can be had for less than $0.10 per blade, only the blades are disposable so they have a smaller footprint, and there's nothing quite like that retro, 50's aesthetic to make this thing just plain cool.
Overall I like it a lot. Just get some ditch the included blades and get some different ones. Your face will thank you.

Hey guys and gals! If you're interested in getting into wet shaving, I did a review on the Van Der Hagen Traditional Shave Set. It's inexpensive and pretty darn good! Go check it out! --> ruclips.net/video/tlM_kNPlPs0/видео.html
Dude fooled me for a second sounded German AF then turned country
Landeros Baudelio Omg good I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed😂😂I thought I was going insane
+TheMedicalReptile fooled me as well
Same
went from german to george bush
from SS Gestapo to paul bunyan
I use a vintage Gillette I bought at Goodwill.
Chris Hutchins Goodwill has razors? How much was it and we're there a lot? I couldn't really afford some of the old Gillette razors as I am still a teen so i just bought the razor in the video. Literally just now
Cyrus Robinson to be honest it was actually a habitat for humanity store. It was five dollars
habitat for humanity, I need go by there, and for five bucks? I could buy about 5 for almost the same price as the razor I just bought
I had a old Gillette back in the 70s I wanted one again, but if you find one on line they are $50.oo. for used ones . Hang on to it and pat yourself on the back. I still miss mine ,but a Parker 29 is also a winner.
Mine lasted 2 years. The inner workings got gummed up and broke when I tried the open it up. Not sure why it got gummed up. The inside workings seemed to be a low grade metal. While it worked I loved it. I replaced it with a 3 piece safety razor. No more butterflies. Less moving parts to break. For me, the whole thing has to do with getting a great shave AND having the razor last forever.
Dorco blades are fantastic ! It's all to what you're used to
I did good the first few times but the more I use it the worse I get it feels like. Sometimes I won't shave it all the way down on one strip so I'll go for a second pass as gentle as I can, straight as an arrow, and slice the shit out of my face. Idk what I'm doing wrong
Used this for 3 years and so far it's still a great shave. Don't listen to the shave snobs, this is much more cost effective vs cartridge
I think the blade are good just a little pricey. Buying new cartridges only gives 5 blades. I wish there were more bulk options.
@@microwavegum Just get different razors. You don't have to use the same brand
@@microwavegum the blades suck. Feather blade is way better.
Yeah I found other blades from other brands.
@@microwavegum tell me which
This razor isnt aggressive (angle) so it's very smooth and superb for those with sensitive skin like me. Blades are mediocre, but the razor is top notch. Destroys any cartridge I've used and vastly more comfortable.
I just got mine earlier this week and I'm never going back disposable shavers
The VanDerHagen razor blades worked out very well for me. It comes down to how you prep for a shave, your shaving technique with a safety razor.
Bought this razor and used the blades that came with it. They may seem garbage for you; but compared to cartridge or disposable, they are still way better. Didn't cut myself either.
cumulo25 you are correct. Compared to a cartridge razor, even the blades that come with it are OK however if you upgrade to a 50 Cent feather blade you will have outstanding results. The blades that come with it have a lot of drag. When I upgraded to a feather blade, the razor is incredible. I truly have a baby smooth finish with a decent blade. I will never go back to a a cartridge razor
First shave yesterday with safety razor.. used this one with blades it comes with.. was bleeding everywhere:D
@@hexas_ I seem to cut myself also when I first use the VH blades. The second use is much better for some reason. Can't really say why.
@@hexas_ awwww man..... mine didnt cut me. You will get the hang eventually.
@wnypaisan27 try shaving your neck the opposite way next time. Your neck hair goes the other way. Also shave with the grain. Please with the grain.
I actually did not find the stock blades to suck that much. Yes they aren't the sharpest but that's a good thing when ur brand new to de safety razors. Plus the actual shaver itself gives a very mild shave so it's a good match. I plan on trying some nicer blades in mine soon.
evolucion311 I actually found the blades that came with it to have a lot of drag but they are OK for starting out. I Purchased a 10 pack of feather blades and I will never look back. The feather blades are amazing even after four days of starting out with wet shaving. I am a beginner but will always use feather blade from now on no matter what razor I use.
Best review I've seen thus far. Good recommendations with using different blades.
I've used a Van Der Hagen since 2012. I clean it using an old toothbrush during every blade change, yet it shines up each time like it did the day I bought it. So far I've used Merkur, Shark, Feather, Wilkinson Sword, and Astra blades in it, and they all work well (of course each blade has their own idiosyncrasies). A steal for the price I paid for it...
Gillette made me look for a new razor after their soy boy commercial.
Me too
😂😂😂😂😂
Never bought their stuff in the first place I actually question why people actually buy them very overpriced and I prefer a safety razor.
LOVED that commercial!
Throw those blades my way. I happen to like them. They do fine for me. Van der Hagen is an American company, that used to be located in Texas, using a Dutch name, a Chinese factory for the razor, and a German factory for the blades. For $10, less than the cost of a meal at KFC, this razor will serve you for life. I find these blades work fine for me. They are not as sharp as the Personna blades (owned by Schick) which would nick me almost every time.
the blades arent bad
those blades are not as sharp as others, just try a different brand and you will see the difference, a closer shave and no cuts
I just bought my because gillette pissed me off#!
Because of their prices or because they told you that you were garbage because you are a man?
Either way good for you.
Yeah same here lol
I ordered this from Amazon, the handle and how it closes is pretty good. It bends the blade to the correct angle, I cant complain. And yes, the blades were bad for some reason. I dont know why, I thought I was doing something wrong. The Shark blades I got were better.
After 4 years they may have improved the quality of their razor blades, I have gotten good, comfortable, smooth shaves with the blades that was included with my razor.
For a second there I though you were German 😆
German dont use this brand lol. Never seen this anywhere in Germany.
It's a Chinese weishi branded van-der-hagen.
You're better off buying a Merker 25c for 25 bucks....made in Germany not China.
Merkur razors are made out of zamak. (Something Merkur never mentions anywhere.) . My Merkur Futur started to loose the coating after just 3 years. And without it (contact with water ) the razors days are numbered. If you want your razor to last, better get an brass, aluminium or stainless steel one.
Personally for me the blades that come with this are a big upgrade from disposables and I’ve never had smoother legs- although they are great for starters- maybe eventually just pick up a bit better blades and you should be good to go
Dutch name. Dutch logo. Made in China.
I use this and the blades. Works very well, I have no issues with it personally. I only nicked myself one time and that was on the adams apple during my first shave. Then again, I didn't shower beforehand so preparation wasn't good.
I have a van der hagen razor nd i love it. But i use the van der razor blades sinse the van der razor blades are the only blades that gives me the perfect shave i had tried the dollor tree feather blades and other types of blades and they just trash when it comes to shaving my face compare to the van der hagen blades but at the same time no one has the same facial type or hair type wo one blade style or name brand might be trash for one person but best quailty for a different person no one is gonna know what blades be best for their shave unless they test out different blaze and choose the best one for their shave. so i wouldntvtell some one to trash the blades thatcomes with but instead tell them to by more then one blade style and have them check themall out and choose the ine that works best for their shave.
Hey thanks for the advice about ditching the blades. I hope that'll solve my problem. I recently bought this razor as my first safety razor. I wanted a good single blade razor to edge up my beard. But I have been so pissed off and confused as to what I am doing wrong. It seems that no matter what I try, it snags tugs and cuts the shit out of me every time it touches a hair. So badly I just went back to using the old razor on the back of my mach 3 or 5 what ever the hell I've been using for so long for my neckline and edge ups... man I'm crossing my fingers because if getting different blades doesn't fix it for me, I'm going to smash this thing with a sledgehammer...not really but I can't help but have the urge. I mean it's brand new, and I haven't been able to use it for more than a second or so without getting fkd up every time! Wtf
The blades are good blades despite your opinion.
The way I shave every single day I can make a blade last for a full month and get a BBS have every time!!
The German's always make good stuff.
I think it's Dutch
china
The handles made in China. The blades are made in Germany.
At least that's what I saw on the website I looked at.
I thought the same ,,German made Oh nice..... Blades are bad ,over priced and not recommended on a shaving topic forum..
I use the feather blades on this
"Let's go ahead and talk about..."
That means "I'm going to talk about this, while you sit there and listen to me."
I liked hearing the Foggy Mtn Special kind of stuff going on in the background.
Peter Schwimmer you mean Foggy mountain breakdown??
You play the banjo amongst other instruments, you have vintage items and firearms. You use old fashioned shaving sets and wear hipster clothing. You are literally me in another body! Cheers from Arkansas mate!
It is a Wishi razor made in China, but still a decent razor.
Yes you are right it is a Weishi I know for a fact because I have the Weishi 9306 PVD Black and it is awesome. I paid 11 or 12 bucks from AliExpress.com for it. The Chrome version of the Weishi butterfly is even less expensive.
I have the blades and not even sure where I got them but I found them way better than the no name brands. Now, I'm going to get the razor too. Thanks for review!
I just started using one and I did use the blades. Bought them at Walmart. I’m satisfied with the razor but I agree with you on the blades. One part of my is completely smooth the other I can feel a little stubble. I am trying to get use to it though.
I love my Van Der Hagen razor, but those blades are absolutely HORRIBLE for my profile. I hope they are good for you, but it is definitely worth a buy.
Hey John, nice vid. I bought the set you have there and you're right, it being my first time with a safety razor, I cut the shit outta myself lol. But I noticed something. You kinda contradicted yourself. Unless you were talking about a different brand and just didn't say the name, you said you went online and bought 100 replacement blades for this razor. Now in this vid you're saying they're shit. Which is it? I'm confused. Sorry if I just misunderstood. Thanks.
I bought a different brand of blades. Astra Superior Platinum to be exact. Much sharper blades.
OK, cool. Thanks for answering. I'm definitely going to have to get new ones if I'm going to continue this journey lol.
John Moore i just bought a micro touch one today and it came with dorco blades which I'm scared to use. I'm wondering how those astra platinum blades are working for you? i was gonna buy a hundred of them if they're worth it from amazon. They're only around ten bucks for a hundred so yeah, great value. just hesitant in buying a hundred at a time but if they're worth it then it's worth it.
i remember my dad shaving with a DE safety razor as a kid. so the retro factor is awesome.
old post but will answer anyway from my end. at first I hated the dorco blades when I started out DE shaving. the astra's for me were nice and smooth from day one. now that I perfected my technique and different soaps etc, I can get a nice shave from the plain dorco 301 blades.
I did a similar thing to John - I immediately dumped the Van Der Hagen blades for the Astra's. Astra's aren't the sharpest, but I think they're the smoothest. Sharp isn't always the best - you want smooth.
If you want the sharpest, there's no competition for Feather blades. They'll slice you real good :)
They aren't bad blades. I just used some and they worked. I will have to try the dollar store blades and see if they are better.
The german ones last a lot longer than the other ones. But the other ones are sharper for not so long
I found the razors to be horrible and would not shave my face at all. I tried different techniques, research on the internet and different blade manufactures. The razor preformed so poorly that it would not even shave the hair on my arms much less my face.
It's fine, just over priced. It's a Weishi razor that sells for $7 or $8 online and Vanderhagen is like $17 or $18.
Yup. Dutch name. Dutch logo. Made in China.
Started out with the one pawn stars dude sales it’s was a piece of junk then bought this one used it for years and still have it and was board one night and ordered a feather wow they are kinda high but well worth it
@@austingoleman9431 That guy advertising the razor was enough reason for me not to buy it.
been using it for a year. The blades are fine too, gets to the point. Never switch the blade but I might just for the hell of it. Just change blades every 3 - 4 shaves.
Those "Generic dollar store brand" blades are usually persona blades, at least that's what all the dollar stores I've ever been to have. They're by no means "Generic" but rather a well known and widely used brand.
I bought some blades at Family dollar they seem okay especially for a dollar for 5 .I used one for a week no problems.
The Japanese are the gods of steel crafting .
Use feathers and only feathers.
Feather blades are god .
Feather blades change he the game with safety razors .
Vander hagen blades are equivalent to a used to the max razor compared to feathers.
Feathers are the dam surgery scalpel my dudes!
Cheers!
Where do you buy those razors? Please do tell, thanks.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Love your music!
At first I did not agree with you regarding the blades that came with the razor. However after using a real blade such as a feather, I can tell you that the blades that come with it are garbage. The razor itself however is an outstanding mild razor especially for the price
Get yourself some decent blades and you’ll find that this entry level razor does a great job. However the blades that come with it are not that good.
I used the blades because I got the kit for Christmas, some of the best blades I have ever used
Followed your advice in regards to the razor blades. I purchased the Van Der Hagen with a desire to get into wet shaving, but the blade really tore my face apart the first go around, and I did plenty of research regarding technique, etc. I put it off for a few months but I love the vintage feel and the idea of a closer shave, so I picked it up again. Though the second time was better, I still wasn’t a fan of the blade. Went to my local Dollar General and purchased a pack of DE blades made in Vietnam for $1, and man what a difference that has made! Love it. Thanks for the suggestion!
P.S. I also researched the blades, it appears these are re-branded Dorco blades
I just got one, and like your first experience, mine was, to say the least brutal. I’m interested to see if changing to a better blade will make a difference. I have the new Gillette that is very comfortable. This one really tugged on my beard and cut my face several times, despite being careful. I may try a Gillette blade to see if it improves, but so far this razor seems to be a beast; but, as I said, it may be the blades, so I’ll try that change.
I have been using a razor like this for years I needed more blades last week only found the brand for the razor you just reviewed they worked good in my razor.I usually get the Wilkinson blade I think these razors work a lot better that the disposable ones.
i have this razor but the blades are crap so I went on amazon and bought Feather blade histainless (100 blades for $25) they are amazing but the only problem is ill prob have them for a lifetime, 100 blades
Just switched to this style of razor After making a switch from Gillette, then to Harry T's....I can say that after making my switch that i absolutely love to shave again
Sorry Hipsters...you didn't "Discover" shaving with a DE Razor. This razor is what a Gillette or Schick WOULD cost today...not $100-200 for a Merkur. Hipsters don't know the value of a dollar as it's probably NOT their dollar they are spending.
This is a nice little kit for $19.95 at most stores and there's a companion kit with a brush, stand and soap for $13.99. Go nuts!
"$100-200 for a Merkur" or 29 to 60 dollars in real life
Nice video! I'm 32 and this is my first safety razor started this year. I wish I started with a safety razor much sooner. It would have saved me years of razor burn. I haven't tried any other blade brands yet but, have had some great shaves with these and a couple nick shaves I thought to be from my unexperienced technique. After seeing your video I will experiment with other blades.
I got into wet shaving at age 32 as well. Van Der Hagen was my first. And I love it.
It is a Chinese generic razor which also goes by other names such as Timor ( though they claim it's from Germany ) or Weishii.
That is correct! But they are good razors especially for the $$$.
The one I had lasted around six month. The butterfly knob on the handle got stuck. That's why I would recommend to keep away from this razor and invest into something decent such as Merkur or Edwin Jagger.
Сергей Белецкий I understand the blades made in Russia are top shelf, do you agree?
Сергей Белецкий it’s not the greatest razor on the market and it is made in China. It is pretty great for starting out and figuring out what you need. I would just say ditch the stock blades and pick up some feathers and you will be good to go. Then once you know what you like, you can pick up a much higher quality razor anywhere from $30-$300. However this is not a bad way to start and introduce yourself to wet shaving
@suny123boy1 people spend $300 dollars on bowls of soup. I'm sure there's a man out there who has no problem dropping $300 on a tool he'll use the rest of his life.
works pretty well for me
I own this gentlemen its a good razor the standard blades are still very sharp the blades are like bics I do fast motions and I have never cut myself and have never had earitation I just cut off my sideburns and it did a great job I put warm water over my whiskers and used barbasol original
Came here because I was having a real hard time with the blades. You cleared it up perfectly. Thank you! Gonna try other blades and give it another go.
I'm never switching back from this, it's so cheap
You are pretty cool dude I’d definitely have a beer with ya
I can tell you know your stuff man, new razors tomorrow lol
Nice video very informative. I too use this product and for the price it is a great value.
Nice video very informative. I too use this product and for the price it is a great value.
I bought one of these a couple months ago. I had ordered a bunch of wet shaving supplies, but the Parker razor I bought was taking forever to arrive, and I wanted to use some of the shaving soaps I had. I have to say, I was impressed with the Van Der Hagen. I even used the blades that came with it, and got a GREAT shave, and didn't even cut myself on the first time. Granted, I only used the Van DH blades for that first shave, because I had other brands to try, but maybe you got a defective blade if you thought they sucked. They did me pretty good.
Maybe that's what happened to me, I haven't considered the blade could be defective. I can't use the blade for even a split second and it snags nd pulls every damn hair it comes in contact ith...brand new razor! I'm jut trying to use it to edge up my beard and neckline. Fk me
Same shaver as my Micro touch.
I started on a dollar tree assured brand safety razor, bought the vanderhagen about a year later. Honestly not much of an upgrade, but an upgrade nonetheless. Several months later I bought a Merkur 42c 3 piece razor and it is truly a next level shave in comparison. On the vanderhagen I used wilkinson swords. On the Merkur I use persona.
Can you use persona razors with the van der hagen?
@@nobilisartorivs absolutely. In fact just the other day I threw a feather blade on the vanderhagen and found it to be a very nice shave. Before you go buying a whole bunch of different models chasing the perfect shave, definitely try out as many different blades as you can in what you already have. Search Amazon or eBay for razor blade sample packs. I got 10 different blades, two of each for only 5 bucks.
@@Gothfield are they sharp though? My beard is kind of difficult lol and thanks a lot for your help
@@nobilisartorivs I mean they’re all razor sharp, very capable of cutting hair. It’s just about finding the blade that preforms best with your hair. Persona, Vodshok, and Feather we’re all top of the line experiences for me, but it could be different for you.
Are you able to line up a mustache with this? Im looking for something similar to a barber razor
Best razor blades I have used. Haven't able to find large quantity blades. Will try the dollar store to compare.
Different blades work better in different razors. Also different blade and razor combos work better for different people. It really is about trying different things and seeing what works. Van der hagen blades ripped me up when I used them in my old Gillette Fatboy but work fine in a three piece razor I bought at an antique store for five dollars.
Going to get an assorted pack of blades to see what's the best.
These van DER have blades are great but that's comparing to a cartridge razor. Haven't had a chance to try out others. I like that it doesn't constantly clog like standard razors
Nice German accent at first until you said "Haygen". lol Then I knew you were 'Murican.
I actually liked the blades lol
the razor is one fine example of , total cheap n nasty .
As soon as I used this shaver I was able to play the five string so much better.. I got very smooth,..whats next ,bikini wax.??
I've been a "wet shaver" for some years now, so not a newbie but I have not shaved with this particular brand of DE razor. I will likely give it a try AND the blades too. I ain't throwing nothing away that comes along for free. I'll try them and if I don't like them find some other purpose to use them. The thing about wet shaving is that people are so individual in their responses to any product that one size fits all just does not apply generally. This said, your review was well presented and executed.
I couldn't get with this one, it's not an issue of the blades, but more or less an issue of adjustment, that razor has no adjustable settings or baseplates, so you're stuck on one setting, and that setting is extremely mild. For a newbie it's good, but once you've mastered your technique and you've figured out what works best in your routine, you find that the razor really just ends up tugging on your hair rather than cutting it. So for me, anything adjustable whether it's a Rockwell, vintage Gillette, Parker, Merkur, etc... Will give me a much better shave because I can dial in what setting I want for each pass. Generally you'd want something more efficient for the first pass and then gradually you'd lower it to a more mild setting for patchwork around your jaw and Adams apple.
Saw this safety razor, blades and soap at my local Krogers grocery store. Bought a shaving kit which has the soap, bowl and brush. I own a Parker 87R love it, and the vintage 3 Gillette safety razors I currently own. Some day soon ill be trying this safety razor out. Great review.
I use it,because my Dad did.i use to stand on the toilet seat lid and watch my Dad shave.so that's all I know.he went with a electric razor when he got older, said it was faster and less mess.not me.i will stick with the safety razor.
lol
it pretends to be of dutch origin but its not and never was sold in the Netherlands!
it looks like a Mühle imitation........windmill and all!
I been using the van der hagen and magic The blades are both good. I think it is important to angle the blade less steep. Otherwise your blade has to work harder
Nice video. Please what is your estimated blade gap on this razor?
I gave it away since I have a lot of razors in my den , quality very good except the screw to close , but shaving very mild also razor is very cheap
Thanks, nice review. I switched to a safety razor several months ago and I absolutely love it! Much closer shave with little or no irritation, and so much more economical. I bought the Van Der Hagen and I like it, but agree the "German Ice Hardened" blades are crap. I bought a sampler pack of 100 assorted blades on Amazon for about $22. So far I really like the Astra Superior Platinum. I also bought a 10 pack of generic Israeli blades at the Navy Exchange for $1.49 and was pretty impressed with them. I can't believe how much better a shave I get with those 14 cent blades than I ever did with those expensive cartridge and disposable shavers!
I got this razor on clearance for around $6, the blades did fine, prob good that they were so mild until I got used to it, but obviously I'll switch, but I'm very grateful I watched a bunch of videos about how to use these razors before I used it not one cut or nic.
Thank you for your review I was having issues shaving with it I will get better blades for mine
Once you get used to this you'll be just as fast.
Got this at Walmart blades do suck ordered feather blades wow it’s a huge difference and get twice the amount of use out of them than the cheap ones that come with it
I was about 5:39 in by the time I realized that the accent wasn't put on like the German one 😅
Why am I not really surprised that you play banjo?....
I've been using mine for a couple of months. I don't have anything to compare it to for weight and balance. I agree 100% about the VDH blades. I get better shaves with Wilkinson Sword, Astra Superior Platinum, and Derby Extra.
I got an old Merker razor with a similar design, I tried the blades from Vander Hagen and was amazed with the quality of the blades. I have been using Merker safety razors for years and you are spot on with the powdery residue they get off the zink.
I've been using the van der Hagen blades for a few months now and I thought I was just bad at using the double edged razor. Thanks a lot, I'll be switching right away
the problem with this razor is that it opens very easily , so screw has to be tighten very hard .
Funny that many people here are bitching about this blade but fact is its way more better than a gillette
Perhaps a better deal would be visiting ItalianBarber and look at their Teck II or Mission safety razors (they also carry many inexpensive RazoRock shaving soaps) -- or visit Maggard Razors and consider a Maggard Razors V3 closed comb safety razor head and one of the 13 different handles they offer (MR5, MR1, MR11 are good). These are also pre-bundled. Or you could consider the classic Merkur 34C HD or Edwin Jagger DE89 beginner razors. Yet, an adjustable razor is a much better investment long term (instead of buying another razor), as it will shave very mildly (as you start out) and allow you to adjust the level of aggression for closer (and faster) shaves as you see fit for your beard growth. [Just don't start out a high level before your technique is sound and your face is accustomed to wet-shaving or else you'll risk razor burn.] The best starter razor I'd get would suggest would be the Parker Variant adjustable (which Mantic59 now considers as the safety razor which 'you’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers'), or the adjustable Merkur Progress (available at a very good price from Connaught Shaving in the UK -- and Mantic59's previous favorite razor, as the 'Variant' fixes many issues) or pre-order a Rockwell 6C adjustable razor. At a later date, you also might care to try a 'slant' razor for another way of getting a more efficient shave -- RazoRock/ItalianBarber and Maggard Razors have inexpensive models.
It's also a good idea to try a razor blade sampler pack. Tryablade.com offers various blade samplers (including their 'Top 10 Sampler' blade pack for under $4). If that's not to your liking you can make your own sampler with as many of the 116 razor blades they currently offer. Many find Astra Superior Platinum blades a good choice and you can get a box of 100 blades for around $10 on Ebay. Just remember to always try to shave with a very light touch. Watching seasoned shavers is a good way to get helpful tips. Try videos by Michael Freedberg ('Wetshaving Tutorial'), PaulHFilms, NickShaves and others. Hope you enjoy easing into this new way of shaving.
Nice review, thanks for posting. Looks like a good razor. When it comes to blades, everyone's different.
Been shaving with the Van Der Hagens and started wondering why everyone thinks DE is so great. I think I get it now lol
I feel sorry people who start wet shaving and use the blades that come with those. I got that razor, but thank god I got Wilkinson swords. If I had used the vanderhagen blades at the start, I would have quit wet shaving.
The Hagen blades are weak right? Are the Wilkinson swords the best?
@@nobilisartorivs Are Wilkinson Sword the best, I can’t say yes to that, they are a lot better than the Vanderhagen blades. Are you just starting out? It really depends on your skin sensitivity, I started with a sampler pack to see what I liked. I would recommend voshkods, but that’s what works for me, you may be different. Try a sampler, but I do think you should avoid vanderhagen blades.
@@ghettomist1575 thanks a lot the van der Hagen are so weak for my beard I need something stronger so those you say might help
@@nobilisartorivs The sharpest ones are feathers. Might try those if the Vanderhagen feel dull.
@@ghettomist1575 can I buy any feather one and they’ll fit??? Thanks so much for your help
Might have been more efficiant to show us how it works lmaooooooo
This is a Weishi 9306 which costs $8 from Ali Express with free P&P
tried it with razors it came with on my 2 week beard, works great
I've been watching safety razor channels.. what's never been answered is... how many times could you shave or go over the same time in one shave?
