I cut myself because I was not paying attention. I blame me and not the razor.
If your mind doesn't wander, nothing bad will happen.
Go give it a go. You might actually like it.
That doesn't change my opinion that this style of razor is not for me. Just me.

You're not doing the Razorine any favours. Sounds awful :giggle:

Don't intend to....just reporting as is.....but it gives a great finish. I will admit to having hearing issues and I admit that I have had to change my technique. I am usually a 3 pass type....but sometimes the angles are more difficult with the Razorine and 2 pass and a touch up is more convenient for me with the same result.
You could probably say I like the challenge of 'quirky' razors!

I will confess I was totally unaware of its existence until you pointed it out....and I think quirky is a bit of an understatement:eek:

It's a good one though. It has head geometry and all...
Drop me a PM if you fancy the challenge and want to borrow one...
I could make another pass around if anyone else is interested (it was my first pass around over on TSR)
Bigelow-Parkin anyone?

A quick review of the razor from me below

OK, so a very late review. This is a nice idea, I like the fact that this is a shavette that you can use both sides of, that you don't need to snap a blade and you can use whatever DE blade you like.

In terms of quality of the razors they are well made, the finishing is not the best, you can see a few bubbles on the plating, specifically in the lather channels and on the brass razor in particular there is some black tarnishing on the stamping. That said, these aren't "expensive" razors so the finishing can be forgiven.

The razors are fairly easy to load and for me shave well. The first shave, like Andreas I managed to draw blood, mine wasn't a proper cut, it was just a tiny straight line, that did scab up, but healed with no scar within three or fours days.

I mainly used these razors when I had at least a couple of days growth. It always coped admirably, it cleared all the stubble with relative ease. The right side of my face, being right handed was the easiest place to shave, the left is a little more challenging, but you do get used to it.

As already mentioned, it takes some patience and it takes a little time and practice. That said, if you want a good quality, shavette experience, whilst still using the blades you love. This would be a good shout and I recommend everyone trying it out, they are worth trying and you might just love it!
