What can I say, this is probably the best $25.00 razor that I have ever used, period. Just finish a wonderful shave, with the assistance of Tim's Soap, first time, but that's a different subject. I can't believe I never tried this soap before.
To the razor. Blade installation is easy and you will find no blade movement throughout the shave, none. Nice weight to it and it glides very nicely. No pressure needed on this puppy. Not aggressive, but not a weak link either.
The shave: I only do two passes and this razor didn't disappoint. Very nice close shave with zero irritation.
The side edge exposure is of no consequence. No interference with the shave, not even under the nose. I'm sure it will be an eyesore for the "purists", but, no worries, it won't bite you.
Zero blade wave!
This is definitely a unique and fantastic razor, and yes, is my opinion, don't like it? Don't read it. I can see why they had over 4K orders. Nice concept, my congratulations to Murat.
Is this the one from Turkey where you have to snap a DE blade in half and use it? Looks pretty good for a 25.00 razor. Is this a prototype or is this what the final production looks like? As long as the blade edges that protrude can't possible cut one's self it wouldn't be an issue to me at that price point. Under 40.00 price point deserves those type of expectations and realities and it sounds like this razor meets those and it looks well for the price too. I will say that if my aforementioned blade question is in the affirmative that might be a turn off to me but at 25.00 I would probably buy one simply on price alone. One of the things I hated about shavettes before straights was having to monkey snapping DE blades in half. Yes I know it's not hard and yes I know they sell "half blades" but, it was still annoying at times. Thanks for your insights this was helpful.
