I officially have no life.🤣
I spent almost 16 minutes watching a man shave a beard with a Safety Razor 🤣
What about me?! I’m the weirdo that filmed myself shaving! 😆
it is ok i learn from him he did me a favor
this made me laugh so hard as i was thinking the same about myself
Like driving a car. I'm not going to buy without it being road tested and spending time researching what others say. Not going to spend $30 (on this one) without knowing anything about the product.
Worth every second!
Your german pronounciation was very good. Understood everything very well. I didn't expect you to suddenly speak German and was pleasently surprised 👍👍.By the way, I'm a german guy and 60 years old. As always an excellent video.
I had no idea if I was even getting close with any of those words. I do love hearing the German language being spoken, but I don’t know the subtleties of pronunciation.
@@SinatraLennon Isn't there a small group of German speaking Texans? It was still quite close to modern German if I remember correctly
@@SinatraLennon Jawohl!
My ancestors that settled in Texas in the 1840’s came straight from Germany! They came from Braunfels and settled the town of New Braunfels just south of here. Tons of Germans in Texas!
@@SinatraLennon Your surname is Danish, right?
Cannot recommend this razor enough, I'm such a fan of the balance between efficiency and smoothness of shave. Always a pleasure to see another video
Why don’t you like it?
@@hola-rk3lr he does like it. That's why he can't recommend it enough.
@@johnblunk2012 okey😂, so that’s mean its good right?
@@hola-rk3lr yes
How long can we use the same blade approximately?
I’m a razor snob but I must say this is a great razor. It’s basically a Muhle R89 head, the blades are exceptionally good as well! Great video!
i was so confused as to how this man didn't even get a single NICK or razor burn guess this is a good razor indeed. my parker safety razor with parker blade always cuts me and makes me bleed
after trying it I threw the blades in the bin. Worst I've ever used.
@@haydenwayne637skill issue
@@haydenwayne637 me too lol. Those blades are definition of chinese trash
@@haydenwayne637 what blades would you recommend
I bought one of these razors and I find that it gives a very good shave. Blades are pretty good too. Good to see a Gillete safety razor available again in the local supermarket. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Before this I used to use manscape 1.0 plow. Switching to this was like going from a Mercedes Benz to a Rolls Royce.
@@vitalityfoxwell it’s 11 months since you posted this have you been consumed like many of us with these razors becoming almost a collection and hobby or are you still using the King C. As your work horse lol
Just bought this razor as my entry into the straight razor wet shaving world. 42 years to get there, but better late than never. I’ve used it once and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice to know you agreed and consider it a good purchase. Can’t wait to shave tonight with it. Thanks again for your reviews and keeping me and my teenage son entertained.
The King C. Gillette razor was a good investment for me. I get some good, close shaves with it every time. Works with many blades I've tried(the matching blades, Gillette Silver Blue, 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge and the Feather blade).
Which one is the Better Sam ?
@@durstdrouin7545 if you're looking for a mild blade, the silver blue would be a good choice. If you want an aggressive blade, the feather is the best one.
@@sm6175 thank you
At 22 years old, short of 23 I finally went ahead and picked up this little bad boy from my local pharmacy and gave it a try, 3 passes(last was against the grain), and it’s so cool how much less irritation I have using this compared to using cartridges. It took a while tho, esp the third pass haha. I think the majority of the irritation I have rn is quz I prob got a bit greedy to make sure it gets baby smooth. But I’m proud of myself for figureing it out pretty damn well for my first try, since I’ve watched a lot of ur videos and others to prepare
Definitely less irritation than cartridges. I'm switching from a 3 blade cartridge because I didn't know a 3 blade razor can cut hair beneath the skin and lead to ingrown hairs. Have you continued to like it?
how long should 1 blade last?
@@MisterSolitudeidk if you’ve figured it out by now, but they say a new blade is good for around 5 shaves at max
Recently bought this as a beginner safety razor after seeing your review, actually works pretty great! Especially compared to the Gillette fusions I was using before this. Keep the videos coming brother!
I have this razor and love it. I bought it at a Walgreens in Hawaii last year on a whim and it is one of my favorites. We got a guy in the office to start wet shaving and this was his first razor and he loves it too.
I bought the King C. as my first DE safety razor and I just shaved with it for the first time. It was really easy and I got a much closer shave than I get with my Mach 3. I'm a convert! Now I'd like to try it with a more aggressive blade.
2 months later and I now have a '62 Slim, a '60 Fatboy & a Rockwell 6S. Curse you SinatraLennon!!
@@elkbomb is any difference with the king C?
@@hola-rk3lr with different blades? I like the Feather blade with it, performs very well.
@@elkbomb I use this type of razor 🪒, do you recommend me buy king C safety razor? And why please
No way!!!! Really !!
I picked one of these up for my nephew's 16th birthday, he was happy with it
I'm a father of a wonderful small boy, and I've already bought this safety razor to keep it for him until he needs it. I don't expect that King C. Gillette DE safety razor will still be produced in a few years' time. It'd be a pity to miss it.
I don't like the Gillette company, but I love this razor they produce. It's an extremely charismatic, all-purpose, top quality shaving instrument.
Hey thanks for the shout out! Nice looking razor. My first one was actually the heritage before I moved onto the Rockwell 6C which I love using. If you ever visit Montreal you’d love our restaurants, and of course the best bagels in the world. Have a great week, Peter
This was my first razor and I still go back to it all the time. I use feather blades and just go nice and gently
I bought this razor recently as my first DE razor from Walmart for $25, I really like it and I just got a sample pack of different brands of blades to try. The only 'issue' I have with the razor is your fingers can slide on the design on the handle, but if you keep your hands dry I found it's no issue (When I bought this razor it was $25 on Walmart online but $30 in store but you can ask them to price check with online to save) Edit: I forgot to mention that I dont do a full shave, I just line up my beard on the top and bottom. 👌🏼
Does modern razor blades from other brands fit in this Razor?
Months back i told you that you should try it and that it’s really good. Glad you finally did. By the way, the head is German and made by Mühle.
Thanks for the review! I'm 19 and wanted to get into safety razors because they just seem really cool and the history interests me. Plus the fact that it is more cost efficient and gets a closer shave. This is my first SR and I can't wait to try it.
Just finished my very first safety razor shave with this razor. Really really liked it, I had a death grip on it because it feels like it would slip, maybe I was just intimidated. Looking forward to the next shave!
That’s great!
im a recent convert to DE shaving i really enjoyed this video - looking at various channels of shaving some of the kit can get quite expensive but there is lots of decent stuff out there reasonably priced - i bought this razor you featured for the equivalent to about 18 dollars i have wilkinson sword and arko soap and a badger brush that i bought in a chemist for 10Euro im really enjoying shaving again
My local super market in Norway is rebuilding so the whole store was 50% off! Copped this bad boy for $12 :) can’t wait to try it, great review!
Just tried their blade in a Van Der Hogen DE razor (it's all I got) & WOW! Such a huge difference, blade definitely has more bite to it, resulting in fewer passes & less irritation.
bought this razor a couple of weeks ago since its the only de razor available in pharmacys in the netherlands, really liking it so far(and only 15 euro/18 dollars here)
I purchased one of these last year when they first came out, and still use it occasionally. Decent razor, reasonably priced, provides a good enough shave... It’s nothing too special, but I do agree with your assessment. The KCG is worth every bit of $20.
This is the first safety razor I ever bought and had no idea how to use it. I was going to go back to cartridge but seeing how you used it I definitely did it wrong and will try again with the products you used. 3 years later and your video is still very helpful!
Glad I could help!
I've been using a DE shaver that I bought on amazon for very little money (I want to say less than 20 bucks) for about five years now. It's been perfect for me. I can even do completely dry trims on the cheeks just to edge up a bit with no problems. The very best part though, is that I HAVE NEVER CHANGED BLADES. If you open the thing up, take the razor out, rinse it and dry it completely the blade won't go bad. FIVE YEARS on a 20 dollar setup. That's an incredible value! Stop listening to the big corps that want to bleed you dry and start being responsible to yourself and your environment. Completely recommend.
Got mine brand new for 7.50 at a salvage store! Couldn't pass up on the deal. First safety razor and I really love how it feels shaving and how close it gets
I got my mine for 1.87 cents at Walmart 😄
Im gonna buy it as my first DE razor, so excited😍
I was eager to try a safety razor for the first time in 43 years of wet shaving. Always shaved with cartridge razors. So I went to the drugstore here in the Netherlands and I bought the last King C Gillette and I got a 50% discount. so I paid $7,60. I shave for a week now, and I like it. I noticed I need to be more careful then the normal Mach III or Fusion.
It is all in how good the Lather is also. I thought I needed a better more mild Razor like a Muhle R89. But seeing your video here. I see that the Gillette is already a decent one to shave with. . Thanks!
Gillette ist sehr gut aber wilkinson Sword the Edger îs better
@@suciudiana9766 I bought that one some months ago. it is way to aggressive for me.
Its more like a peeling!
I started wet shaving with a DE safety razor on May 22 2021 and I like how it feels. I’m currently shaving with a Wilkson Sword DE Razor. But I’m thinking about buying myself a King C Gillette.
Thank you SinatraLennon you got me into wet shaving.
I ordered this for 11 bucks on amazon last week. It's my first safety razor so I don't know anything about quality but pleasantly surprised to see that it is highly regarded! Super happy with my purchase!
2:35 The great Dictaor incomming. That made me laugh for straight 5 minutes. Thank you for that.
Edit: I watched the full video, and I like your spirit. What a chill guy you must be.
Keep up the great videos.
I’m 41 years old this was my first straight RZR never going back thank you sir !
I just picked one up from my local Walmart as my Van Der Hagen razor was starting to fail on me. It shaved my almost two day stubble off with no issues what so ever, no knicks or razor burns, and it was my first time using a 3 peice
Just picked it up from Walgreens. Took a shower and used it right after.
As someone who struggles with ingrown hairs, this razor along with the clear shaving gel might just be my saving grace 😭😭
It cuts so dang smooth.
Great!
I’ve been using this razor for several months now. It is one of my favorites. I need a gentle razor and this one has proven to be perfect. Like you, I prefer three passes and this razor allows me to do that without incurring any irritation. Have a great shave! 🪒
Doesn't 3 passes defeat the purpose of using a single blade instead of a 3-blade razor/cartridge?
Not in my opinion. Using a single blade reduces ingrown hairs and razor burn. When you shave in passes, you should first shave with the grain, then across the grain, and finally against the grain (if your face can tolerate it).
Thank you for the great video! You could talk about anything and its makes my day so much better. Ive been looking at vintage razors on etsy and I didnt realize how many razors have been made! Looking forward for any future videos with you trying some more vintage razors out :)
There are so many old razors to choose from, right?! Take your time and choose a really nice one. They are out there to be had, for sure.
If you’re interested in vintage Gillettes, you must have a Fatboy, not because of the hype around it, but because of why there is so much hype around it. It’s undeniably one of the best razors ever made. Also look at the open comb Sheridans. Both provide an amazing shave. And BTW, The Sheridan is no where near as aggressive as some make it out to be. Not sure I would even call it aggressive. Two of my favorites.
I just got back from Walgreens with this razor & shaved with it for the 1st time using canned Barbasol. For the price I was impressed. Not BBS but then I was using one of the blades that came with it & was not too happy with it. Next shave I’ll try a Feather or an Astra SP.
Just got one for half price (£10) in Boots in the UK. Can't wait till tomorrow morning now to give it a try!
Bought this razor a while ago and really enjoy using it. Up there with the rockwell for me in ease of use.
I really like this razor. Bought it a couple of months ago it worked very well. It's easy to use, and I really liked the amount of control I have with it. Definitely a good product. Especially for the price. I got it for 15 bucks on sale.
The King C Gilette is actually my daily driver. I haven’t tried those blades though... I use slightly more agressive blades, since the razor itself is quite mild, especially compared to the 99R for example.
Over here in The Netherlands the razor is a lot cheaper apparently. I paid only €8 for it, that’s around 10 US dollars... For that price I think it’s a great razor for beginners 👌🏼
Great shave as always!
Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Yo waar heb je hem voor 8 eu gefixt
@@Rotterdamdan Etos!
Got mine today in Greece for about 12 euros. Will test it after 2 days. First impressions concerning build quality are great. Chrome finish is way better than Merkur's Progress 500 which i also own, for example. I wish to all friends here a Happy and healthy new year 2022!
Every razor I used would give me harsh razor burn on my neck.. but I didn't give up I found this in sainsburys (British supermarket) i use it everyday due to my job I get zero burns or rashes
The King C Gillette was one of the first razors I bought. It's not bad. It's just very mild.
@Kaden Sage it doesn’t work man
Cap/plate on the Heritage is an Edwin Jagger copy and the KCG is a Merkur copy.
I got this razor today for a crisp 13 bucks at a Lockal drug store. I was really stoked on buying it because I really wanted to try these kinds of razors, and boy, I couldn't be happier.
For those who are wondering about the blades, those are re-branded Gillette Platinum that have the same color packaging as the Gillette Silver Blue blades.
I really like this razor. I bought it when it came out and I’ve only used it since. It’s all I need.
Just bought my first safety razor. Thanks for the help. Cheers from Brazil
I have been using a Vander Hagen for some time now. I switched over to the Gillette DE razor and it's a whole lot better with a closer shave!
After years of using electrics i saw your review and decided to try a DE razor and im very happy with it , smooth and no irritation at all. Good informative video . Thanks
I am happy that Gillette's getting back into DE razors. I am happy with what I have. Works fine. This would be great 4 a 1st DE razor. Thx 4 good review LS!
Arrived this week in Canada at Wallamart at $39.99 Canadian... To much money but that the price lol in Montreal, Province of Quebec .... follow you... see you on next video , Happy shave!
Seen it at Walmart here in Canada too at same price . I passed on it. Not really into $40 mild razors.
I reckon this razor shines with a feather blade in it. Just as smooth as the rockwell 6c on the number 3 plate in my opinion
That is exactly the intent of that razor, hopping those used to long handle carts into the DE world with a known brand. The Heritage is a nice cornerstone to welcoming the DE gurus back into Gillette’s ballpark. I would like to see a classic throwback. I think we are all ready, and people would pay the price, I would like to see Made in USA on them as well. But for now the good old vintage Gillette razors still own the game.
Attempt 1 of getting a Shout Out:
Huge fan of your videos, you were a massive help to me when i first started! Nothing but love from Chicago!
thought the white paper was the edge, the first two passes didn't seem to do much and there where no feedback.
got better after i put in an edge
razor+5blades was probably around $20, a package of 10 blades where around $10 seems kind of pricey, but i got 2 packages of each. don't usually see safety razor stuff locally so went for it. blades can get a lot cheaper online though and it's still cheap compared to fusion cartridges.
My first safety razor. I've been using it since December, and I'm happy with it. The blades are not the best, but still good. And I realized that you still have to be careful, even with the closed comb. Gave myself a nasty cut a few weeks back. Anyway, great video, as always! :)
Same here, about the included blades. These blades are not really bad, since there ARE worse blades, but at least these blades included with King C Gillette razor ARE sharp.
i managed to cut my nostril lol
Still using my 62 year old Gillette safety razor, that I got from my father in-law 30 years ago, with Personna blades.
this is the one that got me into DE shaving, after seeing your video, thanks man!
Walgreens near me has them on clearance for just $9 rn, definitely gonna pick one up, maybe even a second for my dad! seems like the handle style sort of emulates a modern cartridge one, like the labs (non heated).
I bought this razor as a replacement to my merkur hd34c that I lost. Outstanding razor. Head is very similar to merkur
Gillette has gone crazy with their modern cartridge razors, but they know how to make awesome safety razors. I've been using an old Gillette Tech for quite a while and love it. I just ordered one straight from Amazon for $13. Just wanted to get a "modern" Gillette.
Thank you for your video! I came across this razor on amazon and though, why not let's try it, just ordered it. Thanks for the detaied reciew and the insides into the razor, really enjoyed every bit of it. Have a nice day!
Heads up for anyone in the UK theses are going for £10 on Amazon at the moment that’s June 2022. And thanks for the videos they are very informative.
With the current cost of living crisis I've been looking for ways to reduce the cost of daily routine tasks. I have to shave every day for work, so figured I'd try cutting the cost of that. Saw this King C in a local supermarket for £25, then the next day it went on sale on Amazon for £10. A quick RUclips search lead me here, then I went straight back to amazon and pulled the trigger. Now I just gotta figure out what else I need to get set up. 👍
All you need is some blades and shaving cream. Easy! Doesn’t have to be fancy.
Bought this little number for my girlfriend as I have been using DE razors for a couple of years.
She asked me to help her find a DE razor to try out as she was getting irritation when shaving her legs, but she didn't wanna spend much incase she didn't like it.
Suffice to say she loves this little razor and for the £10 i picked it up for, its a steal. Much cheaper than cartridge razors, and better for the environment too!
Thanks man! I liked this video a lot. I was looking to get my first razor and went to youtube for advice cause i cant really ask anyone else. Thanks for helping me get my first razor!
I bought it a month ago. I'm an intermediate DE user and the razor is great, I'm very very happy with it. No nicks, no cuts, effortless. I recommend it to everyone. Supposedly, the head is made by Muhle. I very much prefer it over the Wilkinson Sword classic razor, which feels extremely cheap and came with an uneven safety bar and blade reveal.
The Russian made blades are very good, here in Europe they're standard issue Gilette blades, King C. Gilette is just a different package, it's the standard European Gilette blade. But for me, I prefer the Wilkinson sword blades a bit more because of durability.
This is the only handle that I can shave my head with without nicking or cutting myself too much. I have a couple of Super Speeds and a Black Beauty, but even those aren't mild enough for what my head needs. This combined with some sharp blades (Astra SP or Feather) works so well and it's only 15 euros in Germany.
Another great review, thank you. I had just ordered one of these (before seeing your review) and it was great to see you take it for a run with the included blades. I feel I’m learning a lot from watching how you shave, and you’re always informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼
I prefer the Wilkinson Sword razor over that one because the top conveniently opens when you change blades as with this one you have to take it apart to change them!.
Hi Mr Shaving Lennon. I've just bought it for £12.99 (UK). I has just started to use DE razor shaving. This does not cut me and gives a good shave. For a beginner it's a very good razor to use. The good thing is it will shave me a lot of money in the long run.
Ah yes i brought this just yesterday, ive only used it once and so far im pretty impressed, good razor and good video!
I bought mine yesterday for £10, I'm 22 and just starting out with a safety razor. Thanks for your video 😄
Have fun! Let me know how your shaving experience goes.
@@SinatraLennon I will Sir !
@@SinatraLennon I used it last night after a nice shower, paired with a derby extra premium blade. It got the job done, and I've been told it feels as smooth as a baby's bottom 👍😂
My English teacher was from Texas "Miss Press" and she didn't speak a word german at first. So you did excellent! I heared the head is made by Mühle, I could be wrong. Have a great day 🪒💈
Got mine a week ago and have been shaving everyday at least twice each shave
I got one of these on special in Boots here in the UK. Its pretty decent for the price. I use it with a Feather blade and it's a lovely shave.
I'm new to Safty razers, I bought this product today and going to use it tomorrow so wish me luck!!!! 😁
i got this razor last year and the blades the came with it, were the most mildest ive ever used along with an already super mild razor lol
it works good with a feather though
Finally listened to my offer, thanks 😊
I bought the King C. Gillette about a week after its release in Germany. And about four weeks after my resolution not to buy any more safety razors. But the design won me over, and the price was really, really good. EUR 15 for a three piece safety razor, that's not bad at all. I did not buy an extra package of blades, though. At 2.50 for 5 blades the price was outrageous. From an esthetic point of view, I like it better than the Gillette Heritage. The Heritage looks more like a typical Frankenrazor to me. Head is of the R89 type, handle similar to Merkur handles, which, in turn, are inspired by early 20th century Gillette models -- but only inspired, not exact duplicates. The only thing about it I liked is the case -- it really looks like a vintage Gillette product. Out of all safety razors you can currently buy in German drug stores, the King C. Gillette is the only one that is neither pot-ugly nor overpriced. As far as its shaving qualities are concerned: I find that it shaves almost identically to the Mühle R89. Note that the Mühle head might have improved since the introduction of brass screws. My razor landed on tile floor from a height of about 6' last summer and the head did not break of. So the Mühle might still be a superior product. I like the length of the King C. Gillette handle. I was being skeptical about the shallow knurling on the handle, but I can hold it with wet hands.
In Deutschland woher??Apoteke ???Das ist gut ;) Ich habe jeszt Gillette C King (set gel,etc)noch 3 rasielhobel Wilkinson Sword Double Edger und Wilkinson Sword Clasic(plastic)und 2 Yuma,alles geht's, aftershave 1Gillette,4Brut,2Coral Marine,3Denim original,2 shaving cream Denim original,5 D'amaris Solea,1 D'amaris Solea black und noch eines D'amaris sensitive,Radier schaum Denim original und Gillette Clasic,2 soap Proraso weiss und grun,und Ich mag Van Der Hagen und Ich will alles rasielhobel Solingen,die beste qualitet ist in Deutschland steel
Wilkinson sword has a shavette. I found it in my local drugstore and I'm excited to try it to see how well it shaves compared to my Parker shavette.
It's interesting seeing other people shave with double edged razors. It seems like almost everyone does something a little different. One thing I do differently than you is stay on the same side of the blade for a full pass and then switch sides between passes.
I just picked this bad boy up for around $12 on Amazon. Have not received it yet, did not watch your review before buying it, but for the price I figured what do I have to lose. I’m not disappointed after watching the review.
It's really fascinating how cheap a top quality safety razor can be. This is an excellent DE safety razor.
I've seen these for sale. I've never tried the razor, but the King C. Gillette blades are pretty good
yup bought some at walmat. i am almost certain they astra superior platnums re branded.
Bought my first one today, paid $10 for the gift box with shaving gel and five blades.
Never used one before, afraid to cut myself. Will try it tonight.
I had to do a little digging on my dad's Gillette safety razor, but apparently it's a 1961 Blue Star safety razor (I've seen a few others saying "Lady" and not so I don't know which one is right). He'd had this thing for...Long as I can remember so I wouldn't be surprised if that's when he originally got it.
great video, been using multi blade razors for a couple years now but finally starting to get some thick hairs around the face, thinking of trying this one out for my first safety razor
Real good review S L. Gillette should use you as their spokesman. The King C looks like a winner. Thanks for the video. Cheers🍺👍
Tried shaving with one the other day, couldn't get a close enough shave, had to switch to my Max3 to finish. I agree on the handle too short
I would agree that the KCG is a pretty good razor. And it's extra cool that Gillette now has sold two new razor models in the past 2-3 years. I do prefer the Heritage - mostly because of the packaging and I don't need that extra long handle. But KCG is well balanced for that length handle and as you say the knurling sits where it's needed and works well. I wouldn't dig at the 34C (or 34G, same but in gold) as I see that as the standard which all other razors are measured against - and few fare well in the comparison. I hold my 34C (and 34G) ahead of both these new Gillettes, but they are good razors. Also, mild or more efficient ("aggressive" I use when what I used makes my neck turn red), I have almost never used a razor that didn't do the job in three passes. I do three with more efficient razor and I do three with mild ones. You just have to have an even lighter touch on the more efficient ones with more blade feel.
such an easygoing review, nice review. i felt like i listened to my old pall! thx
€15 at local grocery store here last week. Works great. Just back to basic; I'm so fed up with all those hyper tech shaving mumbo jumbo (ie fusion blades) another €15 for 100 blades and I'm set for at least a year. And if I need new ones, I order them without pondering my head what holder fits with what blades!
Been wondering how many pieces there were to the king c I was dreading it might be another awkward 2 piece but thanks to this informative demo I’m relieved it is not a 2 piece because I’ve just ordered one
Hi Sinatra,
I own this razor and it's ok. It's not going to wow you like an Outlaw, 6S or Gamechanger but I found it quite nice. Unlike the Wilkinson classic butterfly.........That razor hates me and slices me to pieces. I only used it 3 times and that was enough for me. I hope you and the family are well Sir!
Take care and stay safe.
Dave.
You are using it wrong 😡 Gillette told me it's only to be used for a beard line up. I believe them 😂
I refuse to buy into the beard trend 😂
@@Tristin471Ditto! Have you noticed all of the millennials and Gen Z’ers look like clones? They have the same beards and all wear the same eyeglasses. No originality whatsoever.
@@gregdsmusiccaptures1578 Agreed! I am a very late milennial and I hate those thick rimmed glasses (I called them Buddy Holly glasses) and I hate beards!
Bought one month's ago used it once. Reminds me of a EJ DE 89. A decent middle of the road modern DE Razor.
My first proper DE razor after the Wilkinson plastic one. I like it alot and in Italy you can find it for cheap...12,90 euros. For that price it feel like it"s a steal.
Have you ever used parts and pieces of razors to build one you like?
You have inspired me to use a safety razor.
61 years old and I never knew how to properly shave. Sad
I remember my father and grandfathers shaving with a safety razor, but when I started the twin blade had come to the market.
I have done a bit of mixing and matching of parts. It’s great that we have that option. Also, better late than never, right?
