desertcart.com: WEISHI Butterfly Open Double Edge Safety Razor for Men, Nostalgic Long Handle with 5 Stainless Razor Blades, Reusable Wet Shave Tool for Smooth, Close Shave : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Your Grandpa and Grandpa Knew How to Shave! GET a Butterfly Safety Razor! - My dad always used an electric shaver, I think that was the status symbol of the 50's 60's & 70's... I tried one but never really liked and really feel that they are not worth the exorbitant amount of money charged for a small electric device that has not changed in basic design since the 1950's. My mother actually used a Safety razor to shave her legs and that is the only experience I had with one, seeing it on the vanity as a kid but never using one. When not using the electric razor (i.e. most of my life) I used the common disposable plastic multi-blade razors or the more expensive refillable variety. I always had a huge issue with the clogging of these little cheap devices and with the ridiculous price charged for either ($36 for 5 refill blades? really?) . I also felt that they would dull to unusable condition within 4 or five shaves. So I decided to go Back to the Future to try a safety razor with single blades. I first tried a cheap one that I found at a Dollar Tree Store, figured that for $1.25 I would get a shave and see if I liked how it performed. I did like it (Mainly because it did not clog up like the cheap plastic variety of disposable multi-blade razors. I did not like how the head opened as it was inconvenient to clean or change blades (But for a buck, what did I expect - right?) Searching desertcart, I found this WEISHI Safety Razor Double Edge Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Open Razor on sale for about $12 and then found a 100 pack of blades for like $7 in effect giving me a razor and the ability to shave for over 2 years for $20 bucks. Compare that to your Drugstore razor isle! I am very impressed with the quality of my purchase. The butterfly functions easily and reliably which make loading a new blade or cleaning up after a shave a breeze. (Something you can hardly do without a firehose of pressure on multi blade disposables. Actually shaving is just what you think it should be. Simply use the weight of this safety razor and glide it down your skin or up your neck. I have yet to get a cut or a nick and the actual shaves are much closer than any multi blade disposable I have ever used. The term "Like a baby's bottom" comes to mind... So if you are here reading this long review about a simple age old device, first patented by Gillett in 1904, just buy one and try it. It's worth $20 to see if you can tons of money and end up with a better shave than you are used to. I also do not believe there to spending much more than what I did for this WEISHI Safety Razor Double Edge Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Open Razor, there is no need to even look at the $60 versions as I cannot imagine that they work any better than the WEISHI.
Review: A fantastic, durable, well weighted and balanced blade. A great shave. - This razor design is/was before my time, the more I use it, the more I am confused why we got away from it. I saw all these posts on reddit and online cautioning me I would hack my face all up. I have yet to have any cuts or even razor burn. If you have a new blade in this it really starts to make the 2,4,5 blade systems feel dumb. This is a great shave. I can use dry or wet (I like to shave in the shower and finish up out). I LOVE the weight, It has this great balance even with a shorter handle. If you just light pressure, it handles naturally and let it do the work. I have been around knives all my life so maybe I am just comfortable around the blade/edge geometry and use, balance etc. but it just feels right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value to get started with DE shaving
*by S***. on January 10, 2018*

This has been a great first double edge safety razor. I did a lot of reading and comparisons to more expensive stuff but I wasn't ready to spend $20-30 until I knew that DE safety razor shaving was something I wanted to stick with. I used an electric razor for almost 10 years and instead of buying another replacement head for $30 I got this razor, a brush, and soap for $20 and couldn't be happier. I always just viewed using my electric razor and "getting the job done" and just wanted to do it quickly and be done. It worked okay but not a very close shave and I would get ingrown hairs pretty often. I should've switched sooner but I hated cartridge razors and they were very expensive, when I found out about safety razors I had to try it. This is a GREAT value to try out DE shaving. It's made very well and when paired with a quality blade you get a great shave. The case it comes with is nice and convenient as well. It comes with 5 Dorco blades which have a decent reputation. Everyone has different hair types so you have to find what works best for you. I have very coarse hair so these aren't quite right for me, they work but I ordered a sampler of sharper blades that should work better at cutting my thick beard hair. If you want to get started with DE shaving for cheap, but don't want to sacrifice quality then just buy this! You may end up wanting to try some nicer razors later on but honestly this would last you a lifetime. It's essentially a copy of the vintage Gillette Super Speed razors, and people to this day still buy those on ebay to use as they are such a timeless design that works so well. I have no doubt that if taken care of this razor will outlast my lifetime. For $10 what more could you ask for?!
