WEISHIButterfly 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.

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

Works. Have to pay attention and make sure the guard is adjusting uniformly across the razor head. When making adjustments to the cutting heights, it will occasionally hang a bit on one side. Making the gap uneven across the blade edge. A little pressure from the bottom on the high side usually corrects this.

I recently made the switch from a 5-blade cartridge razor to the WEISHI Nostalgic Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Yes, there’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, this razor delivers the best shave I’ve ever had.I use it on both my face and head, and the closeness of the shave is unmatched. The adjustable settings allow for a personalized experience, whether I need a gentle shave or something more aggressive. Plus, this razor is incredibly durable and well-constructed, with a solid feel in hand that tells me it’s built to last. If you’re considering making the switch, I highly recommend giving this razor a try—your skin will thank you!

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.

Superb product! The safety edge razor I learned to shave with lasted over 45 years. It had traveled with me around the world and the day it broke I was shocked and saddened. Had I anticipated that day I would have bought two in my youth. I searched for a replacement and used disposables in the interim morning shaves; they were dark, very dark days indeed! Then in my searching I found Weishi, the description resembled what I had lost so I tossed the dice and decided to give Weishi a try. Other than the color and a slightly longer handle it was a perfect fit. After a quick lather using the shaving soap, mug and brush it was quick work to be clean shaven once more! I admit that I had doubts the lost days had dulled my hand, I feared the inevitable nicks from using a safety razor once more, but with the first pass of my new friend all was right. I rate this one an extremely strong buy! My only dilemma now is do I buy another for the day 45 plus years from now when this one breaks or wait to buy a replacement then, hmm! Oh, and I always start a new blade with a lower number and increase through the week, hit the top and it’s time for a new blade, 5 to 6 shaves per blade for me. Hope this was helpful and happy shaves everyone!

The Manufacturers had the right idea in copying the 1960s Gillette slim. Initially, I loved the long handle. But I have to admit the serrations for gripping need more pronounce aggressive knurled casting for better gripping!The Chinese manufactures need to copy the Gillete mechanism for adjustment for theirs is a total failure! I used this razor with great expectations literally 3or 4 times and the adjustment mechanism was a total failure (See Video) over all this razor could have been a great razor had the Chinese copied Gilletes 1964 Slim and improved on it! Don't buy it! Till they do!
