Haircut and Shave CO

I have been spoiled lately with great new safety razors and this have been a great surprised for me : the Haircut and Shave CO double edge razor.

I'll start from the end : if you're looking for a smoother than smooth razor , no matter the blade you use , the Haircut and Shave CO closed comb is what you're looking for.Hard to beat on that regard.

This razor is 100 per cent hand made in US using , as most of the current Artisan razors , 316L stainless steel.However , the end cap on the closed comb head is made with anodized aluminum in black color , which gives it a cool look , as you can see on the pics.

When a friend of mine told me (he also have used this razor) that there was no blade feel at all , I was a little bit suspicious but gentlemen , it's true : no matter if you use a Feather , Iridium , Astra Green or Blue blade , is basically impossible to feel the blade during the shave.

Of course that has its pros and cons.

Pros : ultra smooth shave.In my case , with a medium beard , only two razor passes for a BBS (with the grain and across the grain).

Cons : since there is no blade feel you can press more than you need or go faster and irritation or cuts might happen.

This razor has a weight of 130 grams according to my electric scale with an excellent heft and balance.

The only but is the handle : it's design is different and doesn't copy other handle designs out there (I'm glad that the new razor makers are bringing new design styles to the table) but needs a better finish and polish for the 199 dollars that this razor cost.

However , I have spoken to Aji , the man behind these razors and have told me that he is working in new design and a polished finish for the handle , as well as in a 100 per cent stainless steel closed comb head.

I have been using this razor with different handles like the Jürgen Hempel and Muhle Rocca Black and I have enjoyed it shaves like no other razor.

If I have to make a ranking of the smoothest double edge razors I have tried , this would be as per today :

1.Haircut and Shave
2.Seygus Aluminum
3.Timor closed comb head
4.ATT M1

I'm very happy to see new razor makers out there trying to provide a good quality product , increasing the competition and bringing new ideas.This Haircut and Shave CO razor is not perfect (handle needs to be improved) but man , does it shaves like heavenly glory ? Oh yes , it does.

Looking forward to see the improvements that this razor would experience in the next few months and if you have medium or hard beard but you're looking for a very smoooooth shave , this is your razor.
