VIKINGS BLADE Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor + Luxury Case Smooth Reusable Eco-friendly (Emperor Augustus")

One of my favorite razors... Simply amazing feeling especially with Astra blade.

IMPORTANTE: el producto que enviaron traía unos cuantos repuestos nuevos de navajas, fue un buen detalle del vendedor. En el pasado use una maquinilla eléctrica , cartuchos cambiables, pero nada se compara con el resultado de esta navaja. Es pesada, pero se siente resistente y ergonómica. Materiales de primera calidad Estilo impecable Afeitada al ras Realmente lo mejor para tener un estilo masculino pulcro y elegante.

When I first got this razor, I must admit that I had really mixed feelings about it. The razor was beautiful and well balanced. But the adjustment mechanism got stuck very frequently, and the bay doors rattled if not firmly closed. Being made of zamack, I hesitated screwing the TTO too firmly. I was a novice shaver back then. Tried to use this with 7o'clock greens and Gillette SBs. Gave myself several nick's and weepers, and I hated this razor. It felt like everytime I used it, I needed to pay in blood. Fast forward half a year and multiple razors in between, I learnt to respect this razor a lot more. Armed with better technique, and some Gillette Platinum Blues, I have had some of the smoothest shaves EVER with it. Close and efficient. First pass on the scalloped bar, followed by ATG on the smooth bar with a third round of XTG, I am getting some real BBS shaves here. The trick I learnt was that the TTO mechanism doesn't quite clamp the blade down incredibly tightly. I believe the gap between the bite point and the razor's edge is slightly too far, allowing the blade some flex. Mind you the blade does NOT wobble, but there is a bit of flex. So if you try to cut stubble that is too long ATG, especially if you have really stuff and coarse hair like I do, you will get tugging and skipping, which lends to some nasty scrapes and weepers. Now I dare say, that this is one of my favourite shavers, coming in just behind Muhle Rocca and Game Changer 84 OCs. Now if Vikings Blade would consider offering it with a pure SS head, with a drainage groove (like the emperor) and closed tabs, it will be a Unicorn.

Wow I love this safety razor, it's adjustable on how the blade is positioned so depending on your sensitivity you can adjust how much rake of the blade is shown. I would buy another one if this one ever breaks it's well worth the price

Dont like the quality of the head and adjustment. Retour
