## Description

desertcart.com: Van Der Hagen® Men’s Traditional Safety Razor Kit (includes 5 blades) for a close shave in Chrome : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Solid - Quality, heavy duty, looks and feels great. It’s probably the last razor you’ll ever need.
Review: Better in every way than modern razors. - Before ordering this I had never used a razor blade like this and was sick of paying obscene amounts of money for replacement blades for my supposedly better 5 blade monstrosities. This is better in every way once you get the technique down. Pros: 1. Its WAY cheaper. For the cost of one set of cartridges for my big name brand razor, I can get several years worth of blades for this one. Remembering to get razors at the store is a thing of the past. 2. Its faster and easy to clean. Since its double edge, you can shave twice as much area before clearing the blades. Saves on water too! Cleaning is super simple and will prevent gumming up of the retention mechanism. Open it up, wash out all the hairs, blow dry it with a couple of puffs of air and put in a dry place. This should last forever if you do this. 3. Better for travel. Small enough to fit my entire shave kit in the smallest pocket in my backpack. 4. Closer shave I can get closer with this blade with less risk of cuts than my old razor. Since the blades are so cheap, I don't feel obligated to keep using them well past the point when they should be replaced. Cons: 1. You will probably nick yourself the first time you use this. I nicked myself a couple of times when I first started out with it. Nothing a little TP couldn't fix. After using this several times and perfecting my technique, this no longer happens. I haven't nicked myself in months. Just be careful around the chin and jaw line. 2. As a few others have mentioned and because this gets so close, you will absolutely want to use aftershave. I did not use aftershave with my previous razors but your skin will be on fire if you don't when you use this. The upside is the shave does last a day longer for me. YMMV with this. 3. You will need to use an upstroke or 2 around the nose. Because of its shape, its difficult to shave the spot right below your nose using downstrokes. I tend to avoid upstrokes due to the risk of ingrown hairs but that hasn't been a problem with this razor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work good with heavy beard?**
A: I'm blond and my beard isn't every heavy or thick, but I've found the shaves to be outstanding and close with it.  Albeit this razor isn't what would be called "mild" for the allowable angles or blade exposure, and it takes a steady hand and good technique to use well.  Like with any other old school razor you will nick yourself here and there.  You'll have great shaves and not so great.  That's you and not the razor.

**Q: Anyone notice any issues with its doors staying shut  due to its tto design?**
A: no

**Q: How long is the handle on this? is it about the same as other de razors?  i'm used to my trac 2 which is about 4 inches.**
A: 85mm.  That's about 3.3 inches.

**Q: Is worth the $12 here or $19 at Walmart locally?**
A: I say Which purchase from which ever retail based on how sooner you want to use this product.

Both price are valid. If you order online buy two.
