This is an extraordinary razor, give it a try, you will not be disappointed. I purchased this from Amazon.com.au after much hesitation caused by some very negative reviews here. I encountered none of the issues they complained of, and am so glad I took the chance. It seems to me, one has only to read the instructions (clearly printed on the beautiful presentation box), and none of the alleged problems arise. This is dual head DE razor with a butterfly closure and adjustable aggression settings (1-10). Form and finishing are superb (as is the exquisite packaging) - it is delight to look at and to hold. Although considerably shorter than my Merkur Future razor, the weight of the Meiji has real heft and presence. Build quality is also superb- if, as I do, you like the aesthetic, it is practically a piece of shaving art. I paired this with a Derby extra blade, and Mitchell's wool fat soap. This was a delight to use right out of the box. The perfect angle was easy to find, control was very certain with the heavily knurled handle. The result was a BBS shave in two passes. No slips, no cuts, easy glide and it cuts so very smoothly. The design and dual heads (i.e. closed flat bar on one side and open comb on the other) meant I was able to crank up the aggression setting to 5. By comparison, I never take my Merkur past 2. This is a razor that is likely to let you find your own sweet spot, whether a beginner or experienced DE user, would make a very fine gift, and is probably the equal of far more expensive alternatives. My Merkur may remain my everyday go to, but this was a treat to use. Very highly recommended.

Rasoir de qualité

I primarily wanted a razor to do light shaving of my face and mostly my head since all the cartridge razors are a bit too aggressive and I had wanted hopefully an "in between" shave. This is the first time I've been able to do my head without nicks and cuts. I used the straight side with the lowest setting. The setting seems to affect its ability to open as wide as it can so it will open the most at the max setting. I didn't notice any looseness in the adjustment dial or the dial for the doors. It's heavy enough it feels like you can hurt someone with it and I love the heft and thickness and the slight length on the handle compared to the other razor that I have. I didn't do anything fancy, just a bit of conditioner and shaving cream on my head like I would do for any other kind of razor and have the slightest itch but no nicks at all or discomfort. My point of reference is using a safety razor a handful of times and have a short Van Der Hagen one which is light, thin, and even shorter than this. Not really the biggest fan plus chrome can be slick and its handle knobbing being too smooth made me look for something in the style of this one. The etched knurling on this handle feels great to me. I feel like I could get a good grip on it short of my hands being doused in oil. I coupled this with a Wilkinson sword blade for the first run as I am still getting a good feel for blades but if this holds up this has to be a good one. I also really really like the short length even as someone with relatively large hands it never felt like it was going to get away from me or that I would drop it even in awkward positions. It also did not get clogged up with hair or cream as bad as my other. If this holds up it is a fantastic piece. I also love the coloring and overall style of it, everything about it says quality in my eyes so far. I just wanted something that I could get a comfortable shave since sometimes even good razors can be very problematic on my skin and I don't need to go Krillin smooth but didn't want the typical electric stubble either and this seems to fit the bill perfectly. This one would be great for beginners but the price is the ONLY thing I think would be prohibitive but the flexibility of the adjustment is fantastic for beginners and as you get more confident or want to shave different parts differently it's a great pick so far. Edit: Astra's definitely still very much bite on the minimum setting if you aren't careful lol.

Dieser Rasierhobel ist besonders durch das Einstellen des Klingenabstandes zum Gleitstück an der Hautoberfläche. Duch diese Möglichkeit ist ein schneiden beim Rasieren sehr eingeschränkt und dadurch für neueinsteiger zur Naßrasur zu empfehlen. Seit ich diesen Rasierhobel erworben habe, möchte ich nichts anderes mehr benutzen.

There's better gear out there for this price.
