BAILIClassic 3-Piece Metal Double Edge Eco Safety Razor Long Handle Wet Shaving Kit for Men Women with 5 Platinum Blades BD191

Impressed how good it is for the price! The blades included are not anything good so do yourself a favor and throw them out. Get some good quality feather blades and it perform great and give you a nice clean shave. Does have some weight to it so it does feel nice in the hand. Definitely recommend

Have been wanting to try this “knockoff” of the $37 Australian razor for quite a while. As best as I can determine Baili makes the same razor, this one without some colored banding and name engraving on the head which I’d prefer not to have anyway. It’s a terrific heavy, long razor with excellent fit and finish. I have to learn to adjust my grip a bit as the head bend the blade more than my other razors do. Yes, the grip is more slippery with the polished finish but it’s not a big deal as knurling or something would detract from the character of this razor. For me at least, head engraving and colored banding on the handle isn’t worth paying 3x the price. Also , the include 5 pack of blades is a nice extra. Don’t know who makes them but they’re sharp and smooth All in all a close, comfortable shave and great value for the buck.

I have been using a safety razor on and off since 1962 when in the military. I have very sensitive skin and need a mild razor. I have been using a feather as-d2 ($162) and feather blades. my friend turned me on to this razor. I figured I couldn't go wrong for $12. I was absolutely stunned. the workmanship rivaled any razor I have. (many). I loaded a feather blade and began. It was so smooth I felt my beard and I had no audible feedback. I shaved with,against and across the grain and had no razor burn and a BBS. I was so pleased I immediately ordered another, in case I dropped the first one. Whether you are a beginner or an old timer this is not only the best value but a superior shave. buy it.

The good: It's easy to use and a good price. If you're not sure you really want to switch, this is a great way to find out. The shave is more comfortable than any cartridge razor I've ever used, and my skin appreciates it. The blades it comes with are good. I don't know what people are talking about when they say the handle is slick and hard to hold. Maybe it's been updated, but I don't have that issue at all.The bad: After just three weeks, I'm already thinking of upgrading to both an adjustable and a butterfly-opening head. There is nothing wrong with this razor. However, it doesn't get that close. I like that most of the time, but not always. I essentially still have a 5 o'clock shadow after shaving with this razor.Tip: Go to YouTube and watch a tutorial on how to use a safety razor. After dragging a cartridge razor across my face for 30 years, it was extremely beneficial to watch the tutorial and get used to the 30 degree angle and no-pressure technique.

This is the 4th old-school razor I've purchased in my lifetime. The other 3 had the design where you twist the very end of the handle and the top opens up -- I think that's called the butterfly design. This one is different. You twist the top to unscrew it all the way off and a bolt goes through the middle of the standard blade. It's very interesting because when you screw it back together, it bends the blade into a curved shape. Anyway, I never noticed it before, but the standard blades have a big circle in the middle for a bolt to go through, and I gotta say, the shave is very close.Anyway, it's heavy and shiny and has a long handle and looks stylish. I like it a lot. I highly recommend.One last thing, after a shave I've been giving the top a couple of twists so the water flows through to clean the blade. That's how tight the fit is. It's not cheap or junky.

Loved it. Especailly for the money. Really smooth and no sharp edges to get jagged on. Felt like a quality prodcut.Then yesterday... jammed tight. Nothing I could do to unscrew it. Froze it, boiled it, covered it in UD40 all... nothing would get it unstuck. Read on the web that this happens when the "thread isnt coated". So out of frustration I used pliars and a wrench. One twist and it the top tore completely off.Really sad because i was enjoying it up until then. :(

This is the closest shave one can get. The razor has a tight tolerance between the mount and the cap, allowing the blade's edge to shave without worrying about nicks.

I have very sensitive skin and finally decided to try a safety razor to see how I liked it. This thing is great. It's easy to learn how to use, feels very heavy and sturdy, and has held up great. I have saved so much money using it, it has helped me cut down on plastic, and I no longer have as many problems with irritated skin after shaving. 10/10. The only time it has every cut me badly was when I dropped it and was dumb enough to try to catch it blade-first before it fell. The razor fell anyways after I dropped it to nurse a cut thumb. But hey, the razor was just fine, because this thing is a durable beast. I only wish the handle had ridges or grips so it was a little easier to hold with wet or soapy hands.
