I finally settled into the bath tub with my new Vikings Blade razor and some frothy manly shaving soap (in almond). Because every damn forum where men are talking about these razors they keep saying BE CAREFUL, you might kill yourself. The secret was a good lather and no pressure on the razor head. And I shaved against the grain which must be some kind of man no-no, but it works fine for my legs. My bestie (female) has ordered one and my teen is eyeballing my razor!"
"Perfect blade allignmnet, I loaded a blade 10 times before shaving and I got a perfect allignmnet everytime. Even if your hands are slippery due to the soap or cream, you won't drop it because of the outstanding knurling."
"After trying those many different cartridge blades, and being disappointed in performance (not to mention the high cost), I moved to an electric razor. Routinely, I'd notice a hair a tad longer than the others that the razor had missed. After hundreds of dollars in buying electric razors, and never really getting as close a shave as I wanted, a really amazing thing happened. I opened the box and inside was my late father's original safety razor from 1957. In looking at dad's old safety razor, it's as if he was saying, "Welcome home, my son, to REAL shaving!" If I was going to get back into DE shaving, I needed something brand new with precision craftsmanship. I wanted a razor that would ensure a nick free and comfortable shave. Clearly, the VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor by Julian Vue ruled the day. It has all the features I want in a new razor: -A beautiful Chrome finish. -Made from brass and bronze alloy. -Butterfly head. Last thing he wanted was to cut himself from loading a razor blade. This site: [...] rates the top ten safety razors on the market today. However, based on price, performance, materials, and qualoity the VIKINGS BLADE is the NUMBER ONE pick! Part Two, the actual use of the VIKINGS BLADE razor, will follow in the next few days. A smooth and easy swing makes for a nice, straight drive. The VIKINGS BLADE's butterfly head design makes this a snap! While you wait for delivery, take to the internet and explore the thousands of articles and videos which will give you everything you need to know in the proper use of a safety razor. PART 2 - This morning I had the wonderful PLEASURE of using the VIKINGS BLADE razor for the very first time! It's the weight of the handle that naturally encourages you from pressing on the skin too hard. These razors with plastic, hollowed out handles are so lightweight, the user tends to press more in order to make contact with the skin. It's remarkable because this approach allows the blade to do all the work to cleanly cut away the hair. You only need a few ingredients in order to get a clean, close, comfortable shave. While waiting for delivery, study the proper technique in using a safety razor. I'd imagine that negative reviews regarding safety razors are due to the user not understanding the correct technique. They grab a razor and start hacking away and then complain about the negative experience. But knowing the proper technique, tips, and tricks will lay the groundwork for a successful first shave which will lead to many more in the days and years ahead. As a now former electric razor user, I look forward to no batteries, no charges, no cords, and no clutter."
"It looks right at home next to my shave gel, applicator brush, aftershave, and body spray."
The Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor has a chrome finish. DOUBLE EDGE SAFETY RAZOR - This feature of the razor is very convenient and gives a quick, decent shave.

Here's where it gets real: With any kind of disposable blade I ever used, I would end up with bumps on the bikini line, cut myself on the kneecap every single time, and was typically left with some general discomfort as the uneven shave with a crappy razor grew back in. With this razor and some good blades, there are no bumps, no ingrown hairs, rarely cut myself, and legs stay smoother longer!"
"I bought the Merkur, along with a starter variety pack of blades (mine included Feather, 7 am, Derby, Shark, and Bluebird). But once you have it down you won't go back to those ridiculous triple & quadruple bladed monstrosities, where you're paying $4 a blade, irritating your skin, and throwing away tons of plastic every year."
"I like the handle so much that I bought the Mach 3 head on fleabay (China) and drilled and re-tapped this handle to accept the head."
"This safety razor is one of the best you can get at a popular price point and they are made just perfect."
Size: The Vulcan (Long). LIGHTNING-QUICK 5 second blade change with Vikings Blade's proprietary head.

Best Men's Straight Shaving Razors
Just be mindful that you do not need to apply any weight when you shave and allow the sturdy design of the blade do the work itself. Use your left hand to reach over your head and slightly draw the skin upwards with your two fingers to allow you to have a smooth surface for even shave. Be very careful when shaving under the chin because the skin under the neck is extremely sensitive and more prone to cuts. When done, just pour icy fresh water on your face and use a after shave cream or oil for a smooth feel. Our superior design is expertly weighted, agreeable in your grasp, and gives you more noteworthy control and adjust than numerous different razors available. Classically styled straight edge barber razor made of brass with chrome finish will provide a reliable smooth and silken shave every time.

"Short of buying an actual straight blade razor, this is the cheapest shave you are going to get, all without the higher initial costs of a good straight blade and its peripherals. By its design, it works well to shave hair of any length, which is especially nice if you only shave every other day or so. A cartridge razor from someone like Gillette usually has four good shaves and one or two bad shaves before it's too dull to do anything but cut my face. Also, if you run short of single edge blades, the razor accepts double edge blades snapped in half."
"Used it 3 times so far and have already cut myself several times."
"I have used this item several times to familiarize myself with it before adding it to my shave kit and recommend anyone that has not used a razor like this to watch some tutorials before trying it and then practice with it a fair bit before passing judgment on this type of razor and before putting it into an emergency bag. The reason for only four stars is that this razor and a traditional straight razor were ordered from Utopia(this supplier) at the same time and the packaging was not adequate for the contents."
"I've been considering buying a Straight razor for awhile, i had been using a double edge safety razor for quite a few months prior to the purchase of this product so i have had some time with without the multi-blade razors that are so extraordinarily expensive these days."
"you have to get used to how to shave with it though but once you learn dang it is fun to shave and shape your beard if you have one."

Find Best Price at Amazon"the blades are too close, hair gets stuck, and needs continuous rinsing resulting in a slow and inferior shave. There are actually 3 subsets of negative reviews: 1) fakes 2) lesser quality than store and 3) believed they were 'ProGlide' (more than 50%). On #2, I have bought these razors in the store probably for 10 years and have had similar experiences (on rare occasions) to the negative reviews like "do not last as long", "strip faded quickly".. i think these are issues of quality control from Gillette and not specific to where or how you buy them. However, if you read carefully, the box flap is only an advertisement to 'upgrade' to ProGlide - It does NOT imply that the razors included are 'ProGlide'. So, my point is that this is not a 'too good to be true' price that would make me question the authenticity. My experience with the product: I opened the box and immediately believed the packaging and razors to be real."
"Okay now for the tip: The number one tip I can give for keeping your razors sharp and new FOR WEEKS is to dip them in rubbing alcohol after every-single-use. I keep a small plastic container with a lid in my bathroom cabinet filled with the rubbing alcohol. I bought a 4 pack of these razors last year for my husband and I to use and I'm just now replacing them because of this simple trick."
"I finish with Blaviar Sigma (Sigma by Blaviar | Ultra-Luxury Eau de Cologne After-Shave Balm, 5 fl oz / 150 mL), which is my favorite smelling aftershave, to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day."
"These are not Gillette Fusion ProGlide, emphasis on the ProGlide, blades."
"I have been using gillette fusion for years."
"These are definitely not the same blades as I normally buy - after the first two shaves they tear your face up - sub-standard for the Gillette name to be associated."
