WEISHI Butterfly Open Double Edge Safety Razor Nostalgic Adjustable Matte Black

Tried everything from disposable to replaceable cartridge to even OneBlade (tm)... Decided I've had enough and ready to try DE razor, as cost of those items have gone up, and DE blades are dirt cheap (If you use one DE blade a week, $10 will get you 100 blades, which is enough to last you 2 YEARS!)The actual item did not disappoint. The butterfly mechanism works exactly as shown... The top opens and you can load the DE blade easily. Reverse spin to close.This is an adjustable razor, which means the angle of the blade can be adjusted slightly to provide a sharper... or shallower shave. If you just started using DE razors, keep the setting low (2-3). If you need sharper angles (closer shave) then turn up the settings gently to maybe 5 or 6, and remember to use plenty of shaving gel or foam or whatever you use. I chose an adjustable, but you can pick a "fixed" razor to save a few bucks, it just won't be this model.And they have different finishes to suit your mood... silver/steel, pewter, rainbow chrome, and so on.This came with 5 of their own branded blades to get you started, and as I don't have very thick facial hair, I only use about one a week. It is somewhat surprising that I need to replace them that quickly, but then, you don't want to shave with a dull razor, even a DE razor. Turning up the angle setting doesn't really help. I've tried.As mentioned before, if you use one blade a week, $10 will last you TWO YEARS. Even the famous H-brand razors with replaceable heads runs $18-20 a month! And these guys claim to have their own European factory making those heads themselves for savings! You'll make back what you spent on these in just a few months!So if you want to give DE razors a try, this one is great. It's not super-weighty, it's not "crafted from aircraft aluminum", it's just a solid DE razor you can shave with, and it works well.

Nice quality and weight

This razor is heavy. It does shave close, and the blade removal process is easy.

it's awesome and the best shave I've ever had I recommend you put it on level 2 cause this autistic man has sensitive skin and it shaves very well I would buy it again

The product comes with a rubber band and bandana, both which appears useless in the context of shaving. Box also included a box of double edge razor from weishi. The quality of the double edge razor seems ok, but that is irrelevant to our discussion here.The main problem I cannot get over is that the razor sits unevenly in the bracket that is holding it. This is dangerous and unsafe. One way to overcome this is to set the adjustable setting to 1 (lowest) so that the shaving can still be relatively safe. I can understand why this gap exists, because this razor tries to achieve two engineering difficulty here. 1) having the razor open as butterfly and 2) being adjustable. Other brands like the parker variant or merkur futur is only adjustable and not butterfly open. Feather has one that is butterfly and adjustable, but with only two settings. This has 7 settings.1 thing I like though is that the matte black is well polish and makes it look high quality. I am still considering whether to return this given the uneven gap. Seller should send me a updated version if there is one.

Hefty yet manageable solid construction for a great price.

I have to start off by saying that I really like the size and weight of this razor. It’s comfortable for me to use, but the shave quality is another matter.With a blade installed and tightened into place, the adjustment collar will only go down to about 2 1/2 and that does not result in a mild shave (there is quite a bit of blade feel at that setting). After you get to around 4, the blade starts to tilt in the head and gets worse as the setting increases; the blade gap becomes large at one end of the head and small at the other. This results in an inconsistent shave with several nicks.The razor body is fine, but the mechanism is very flawed.

Great product
