MagT Razors

The handle looks difficult to hold.

I also have the Henson Al Medium.

I think this Mag T Razors Delta is another beast.
Watch your shave.
 

The exposure is positive, but not too much.
The gap is huge, but guard span is even bigger.

It's nice to see something different and bizarre looking.

The handle looks difficult to hold.

After seeing the shape of the handle, I actually went into my bathroom and found a wide comb and held it flat with my fingers on the two edges. It actually is a more natural feel for shaving. Still have not pulled the trigger yet, but I am slowly moving to the other side of the fence.

All details in the patent.

An interesting idea, but an ugly and unwieldy looking creation to be sure.  The comb looks brutal, and a 5 ounce piece of chrome plated Zamac, if dropped in the shower, would almost certainly break into pieces.  Even at $49, I'm going to resist the temptation to buy one, at least until I have read some reviews.

I have this razor. The handle is the problem with it. It shaves well, but the handle is slick and awkward. It comes very close to being dangerous in my opinion. Did I get a BBS shave? Yes. Did I get cut? Yes. And it was the first time in months that I had been cut. In my mind, the handle needs a complete redesign. As always, YMMV.

I pulled the trigger. It looks so bizarre that I want to see (and try) the real thing. If tracking is right, it should arrive tomorrow

My Mag T Delta arrived today and although I already had another razor loaded with a blade for tonight's shave, the Delta took priority. The promo pics are just do not do this razor any justice as it is way more massive and stranger than the pics show.



The razor is very simple and has just two parts, a cap and the rest of the razor. There are two magnets, one in the cap and the other on the base, and the blade guides are on the base. Just line up the blade to the blade guides and let go of the blade and the magnet will pull the blade securely in place. For the cap, you just need to make sure the end pieces are aligned with the edge of the base and the magnets will pull the cap securely to the base.




The design of the razor is one where the blade is clamped relatively flat and the blade edge does stick out almost straight similar to the Pils or Ikon SBS. This has never been my favorite design for a safety razor, especially when the area beneath the blade and the guard has a large gap. Supposedly this was to accommodate up to 30 days growth of beard (according to the web site).



An interesting design feature is that the base has lather slots in addition to a very chunky open comb. I reserved judgement of this feature until I finished my first shave.

Before starting, I had to test out a couple of different grips since the handle was so unusual and the razor itself was very heavy. I fond that the most useful and comfortable grips was to put the thumb on one side where there are grooves on the handle, and the index finger on the other side lightly supported by the middle and ring fingers for WTG. I also found that laying the thumb on one side of the handle (the sides that taper) and the index and middle finger on the other side worked well for ATG. On their web site they showed that you could vary the angle for an aggressive or mild stroke, but I quickly found out that the aggressive angle produced a rough shave, and keeping the angle of the cap against your face and the comb barely touching your face produced a very comfortable and efficient shave. I was surprised in the end where I got a very comfortable two pass plus minimal touch up BBS. One thing I need to practice on is that many times when I shave ATG under my chin, I reverse the position of the razor where the handle is on top and the razor head is below it. I found that this move was not quite intuitive with this razor. Still, for the price, this is a razor that is worth a couple more tires to get a feel for.

Thanks Les, the finish looks kinda rough or is that due to magnification
