Very nice razor, well designed, great finish.
I removed a star for the weight.
Could have been somewhat lighter to my taste.
Shipping and delivery was very quick. But the razor itself does not work well against acne prone skin.
The order arrived 10 minutes before placing it. I exaggerate. But not by much.
I contacted the company if they could put together a kit for me, including this razor and basic accessories and Jane kindly accommodated my request. The ordering process was smooth and Jane's communication was friendly, concise and she answered all of my questions.
This is my first "real" straight razor and after shaving with it, I was blown away by how sharp the edge was. I had been using shavettes for a long time and I never really found any blades that could offer me a close comfortable shave. I was looking for a straight razor that was beginner friendly and somewhat maneuverable for shaping my beard and this razor fit the bill. I just want to reiterate.. I have never had this close of a shave until I used this tool. It's just incredible really.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I'll be definitely looking to add another straight razor once I get more comfortable using my Dovo razor.
Thanks again Phil and Jane.
Having used it several times since purchasing it I have yet to be disappointed with it. It can produce a lather rather quickly, but the more time you spend whipping it the better it gets. If you’re looking for a strong sandalwood scent however, this may not be the soap for you. For me at least the scent is barely detectable.
