DE89BL Chrome Reusable Classic Double Edge Safety Razor for Men

I've been shaving every day for 5 days with this razor (paired with Astra blades), and this is my impression: The build quality is excellent - the chrome is super-shiny, the pieces fit together snug, the blade becomes perfectly aligned to head, and the design has a nice flow to it. The handle is suppose to be short for this type of razor, but I've found that I get the most control the closer to the blades I hold it. The handle in this area has a nice little flange to grip between two fingers and a thumb, so someone was thinking when they designed this. The black handle is $10 cheaper than the chrome handle, but the black lacquer feels nice and smooth, and the handle still has a nice heft to it. The chrome handle looks nice, and if you can afford it you should probably get it, but it makes absolutely no difference in the shave quality, so I suggest putting that $10 towards some good shave creme or blades instead! The only thing I don't like about this razor: on close inspection there's a bit of burr on the corner-edge of the head piece. This tiny bit of metal has been chromed over, so it's not sharp, but I can feel it against my skin when I shave and it's a like a tiny, tiny annoyance in an otherwise perfect razor. How this passed inspection I do not know! I think I may take a tiny file to it to see what can be done - I can't RMA it because then I'll be without a razor! This was not enough to dock a star. Maybe 1/16th of a star? This provides a VERY close shave! It leaves my skin feeling smoother than the disposable razors I wasted a ton of money on, too. I nicked myself a few times the first couple of times I shaved with it, but apparently your skin needs to become acclimated to it because now I don't cut myself any longer and my skin feels better. Grown-in hairs have disappeared nearly completely, in only 5 days! What else? Oh! Do NOT attempt to shave against-the-grain with this on your first time using a double-edge razor! Like I said before you'll need to acclimate your skin to using this type of blade against it, and beside that you'll need a little practice with the angle before attempting. Furthermore, some people like to re-lather and shave in multiple angles - the effectiveness of this probably depends on your skin type - I found that one pass of the razor cuts about 99% of all the hairs - an extra, small, careful pass in problem areas is enough to get the rest without re-lathering.

I wanted to wait until I had been using this thing for a while before reviewing it. I've now been using it consistently since May, so after 7 months, here's my feedback: 1. I have had no issues with rust or the finish falling apart. If cared for properly, i.e. all parts rinsed and dried after each shave, it still looks like it just came out of the box. 2. Handle length doesn't bother me. I have big hands, but I have also never used a longer handled safety razor. Maybe if I had experience with longer handled razors, I would be complaining about this. As it is, the weight and length feel very natural to me. 3. Shave closeness: If used properly this thing cleaves through hair, much closer than I ever got with my cartridge razors, especially after a second pass. 4. Blade replacement is not as easy on some models, but I don't consider it that much of a pain. I take the whole thing apart after each shave and wash and dry the two pieces of the guard, the blade and the handle, so I'm used to handling the razor and threading it onto the little pegs and screwing the whole thing together now. But, it is true, there are other razors with much easier blade systems. 5. Blade is not adjustable, which some people are going to look for. I originally purchased this razor specifically because it is recommended as a beginners safety razor. It is not very aggressive and it is not adjustable, which are things that might cause a new DE shaver to cut or nick themselves. Not that this thing won't cut or nick, but if you go slow while you're learning and you read up or watch some tutorials, you'll be fine. I've only had to bust out the styptic a couple of times in my 7 month experience with the razor. It also is not in the highest price tier for razors, meaning that it's a great combination of cheap and easy to use but high quality. I make a habit of always reading the worst reviews first and then making my way up to four or five star reviews, and the impression that I got from reading the one and two star reviews was that people weren't holding the razor at the right angle. This sucker needs to be at a 45 degree angle to your face or it won't cut anything. You shouldn't be dragging the guard across your face. Held properly, the only thing in contact with your skin is the tip of that razor blade. And it will shave the hair down to the pore when held properly. And that's not like, hating on those people. Shaving with a DE razor is complicated, there's a reason we moved as a society away from DE razors to cartridge razors. When shaving you need to consider blade angle, blade pressure (which should be none) and the grain of your beard (first pass should be with, second pass across, third against if you feel you need it and it isn't going to chew your face up). You also should absolutely not be using canned goop from the drug store, please spring for shaving soap/cream and a shaving brush. If that sounds like a lot of hassle to you just to shave, then don't buy a safety razor. I was shaving every day with a cartridge razor, and moved to shaving every other day when I started using this thing just because I could get away with it at work. Oh, and finally, not a huge fan of the razors that came included with the razor. I'd read some reviews and spring for better razors, maybe. I'm honestly using the store brand ones from my local drug store, and I feel like they're giving me a better shave than what came with the razor.

Let me preface this by saying I am new to method shaving and this is my first safety razor. I am writing this after a couple weeks of use so please keep in mind this is a newbie review and not a expert. With that said, so far I am happy with this safety razor. It is very sturdy, has a nice finish, and seems like good quality overall. The only thing that make it a 4-star review is the handle. It is a little short for my liking and the smooth chrome finish (while being beautiful) is a little slippery when wet. It's not so slippery that it is hard to use, but I think I would prefer having a better grip on this. I also could use a little longer handle since I have bigger hands. For it's size, though, it is nicely balanced and the handle isn't a major stumbling block. As far as the shave goes, it took a little getting used to but the quality is great. I get a very close shave and after using a couple passes, the smoothness of the shave is better than any other razor I've ever used. I'm using Personna Double Edge razor blades (this came with some Derby blades that I haven't tried yet). I've had a few nicks and cuts but I know that is all my technique and not the razor or blade. I will update this later after I've had more experience with it. Update: After 6 months of use, I'm very happy with this razor. While I still wish it had a better grip, it isn't a major deal. I have had only a couple of times when it felt slippery. As far as being small, I haven't minded that at all after months of use. I get an excellent shave and I would highly recommend this razor.

le edwin jaggerd89 considéré par beaucoup comme étant l'un des meilleurs rasoir de sureté d'entrée de gamme pour un prix de 25$ je dois dire qu'il est vraiment bien. _Le rasage est impeccable, la prise en main est agréable. En termes de vitesse de rasage, c'est vraiment très rapide, beaucoup plus qu'un rasoir jetable à cause de la qualité du tranchant de la lame dont on a un vaste choix. Pour les débutants on prend vite le coup de main rien de compliqué. _Niveau défauts, je dirais que la texture du manche est trop lisse : ça glisse, le manche n'est pas assez ferme quand il est en contact avec de l'eau. un autre truc a préciser c'est qu'il est vendu sans aucune lame, donc prévoir un achat de pack de lames au préalable. en conclusion: excellente porte d'entrée je ne vois pas d'intérêt dans le rasoir jetable, le rasoir de sureté c'est plus rapide, efficace, et économique.

Efsane, yüzüm çok hassas, özellikle gırtlak altı her tıraştan sonra 5-6 yerden kanıyordu, taraklı pearl marka bı tıraş makinesi kullanıyordum, taraklı makinelerin en büyük özelliği aralıklı tıraşa Uygun olması,ama 8-9 günlük sakalı bile zor alıyordu,bu makine taraksız olmasına rağmen 5-6 günlük sakalda hiç tıkanmadı, gırtlak altı tertemiz yüzü hassas kişilere tavsiye ederim

Great product. Very premium.

L'ho acquistato da regalare a mio figlio che lo voleva come regalo di Natale, mi è sembrato di ottima qualità ma io sono una donna ed il mio giudizio poco conta, mio figlio però ne è entusiasta, facile da usare anche per i principianti (con le dovute accortezze, sempre un rasoio è), abbastanza pesante con il gambo goffrato quindi difficile che scivoli anche con le mani bagnate, facile da montare/smontare la lama, costruito con un ottimo acciaio, per lui sono 10 stelle!

La boîte du rasoir est arrivée abîmée et je n'ai trouvé aucune lame de rasoir dans le colis comme stipulé dans la description du produit ("Le rasoir est livré avec une boîte de 5 lames de rasoir Derby")....
