Safety Razor

40 years ago, my Dad gave me my first razor, which was a safety razor. Somewhere in my 20's, I switched over to using cartridge razors after a brief and disappointing experiment with electric shavers. I have a tough beard so electrics were more prone to yank hairs out rather than cut them. No bueno. As cartridge razors advanced through the years, they've tried to cram more and more blades closer and closer together which really just make them easier to clog with hair. They're also super expensive to replace the cartridges and I decided to go back to a simple safety razor recently. This one is decent, basic and definitely does the job on coarse hair. The blades are as sharp as the Devil's tongue. There is a learning curve with safety razors and the 30 degree angle. It's best to let the weight of the razor do the work and not press against your face too hard when you shave. Also, be mindful of any moles or bumps on your face as nicking them can and will happen with safety razors. It will take a little practice. I'm not sure if they still make styptic pencils for stopping bleeding but it might not be a bad idea to pick one up, too.

Best razor I've ever used. African-American men, this is it. It looks great, stainless, economical cause one blade lasts almost a month with every day regular shaving. Comes with a bunch of blades. Stop wasting money on disposable razors. However, take it easy. Blade is extremely sharp, but safe. I'm loving it. Oh also great gift option. Doesn't feel cheap at all. Washes easily. Absolutely amazing, flawless.

I can't even tell you how many single edge razors I own, but it's probably near 50 and I've tried more, and the Bevel has become one of my favorites. It's mild but efficient enough to get the job done with 2-3 passes. I'm prone to ingrown hairs and prefer a mild razor, but my beard is pretty tough and fast growing. If I nitpick the razor, I don't care for the thin smooth handle. It looks nice, but something thicker with some knurling would be more functional. It's the head of this razor that really shines for me. It's not the smoothest feeling, but you know it's working and it's fairly bulletproof. I've been wetshaving for probably at least 7 years, but I would guess that this would be a great razor for a beginner as well. Currently this razor along with the Razorock Mamba are my favorites. I wasn't expecting all that much from Bevel, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

This was the 1st razor I bought to try the switch to single edge blades after 25+ years of shaving with the big brand multi-bladed razors. After a week or two of getting used to it, I'd grown to really love this shave that this razor produces. I happily used this razor for 9 months, and then the threaded part of the handle stripped. I was kind of ticked off that something I spent $50 died after 9 months, but KEEP READING! Convinced that the switch to single edge was indeed where I wanted to stay, I bought a cheap $18 single edge razor handle. And THAT is when I really learned that this handle has something special about it. The cheaper razor handle just wasn't as smooth or comfortable as this Bevel brand had been. Had I purchased the cheap one outright, I probably would have switched back to multi razors. Fortunately, the handle of the cheap one fit the head of this Bevel model, and I really appreciated that this handle is something special! It's unfortunate that it stripped, BUT, I'm happily shaving with my centaur version of this razor. I guess I'd recommend it, but be careful not to overtighten it! It really produces a superior shave. Happy Shaving!

A great design from bevel. A slim handle but weighted for easy shaving. Blade is completely enclosed and does not protrude on the edges reducing accidental cuts and nicks. I enjoy how mild the razor is. I have tried many blades in this razor and I find that I get a perfect shave every time now. My face was smooth after shaving. I paired it with a a Treet blade and gillette pro glide shave gel.

Single blade razors have been around for decades and the design has been straight forward and with limited change. This razor takes a good design and makes it bad. For example, the perfectly round and SMOOTH handle is difficult to hold when your hand is wet, as mine typically is when shaving. Adding some striations to make it easier to hold would make sense. And then we have the shaving head itself with basically no markings . . . Thus, it is impossible to tell which side of the razor has been used to an extent where the blade is dull without running it over your face . . . Awful. And then to add that one is only supposed to shave with the grain . . . The resulting shave is so course that remaining stubble is visible and the shave isn’t at all close or smooth. A horrible product.

First safety razor and by far the best head shave I’ve ever had. Super simple process but take your time. Quality product with a nice weight to it. I highly recommend this product.

3 stars — returned; not worth the premium price The Bevel has a gorgeous design and an excellent weight for a safety razor handle. They tried to make it easy to let gravity do most of the work (which reduces nicks and burns). For me, it's weak in three important functions. First, the handle is short. Even with small hands, it's challenging to get a secure and comfortable grip. Second, it's difficult to keep clean during a shave. With minimal gel, it should be easy to rinse in warm/hot water. Instead, it kept getting clogged because there is insufficient room at the bottom for debris. I frequently had to loosen the blade. And that brings us to the third issue: it's tricky to loosen the handle. You have to grip the handle and twist the head, which means taking care not to touch the blade. I also worried that the handle would become loose while shaving. It seems very secure, but it's hard to trust "seems" in the long run. None of these are deal-breaking issues on their own, except that they also come with a premium price.

Mild to medium, well balanced and finished. Feels good in hand.

I really like this razor and it works well for my skin type - not too aggressive. It has a great feel to it and is nicely weighted. Well constructed and will last for years I am sure. Would recommend!

Um ótimo safity razor, com bom nível de agrecividade e eficiência. Não é pra quem vai iniciar no barbear tradicional. Pra quem ta vindo do barbear nutella é melhor um safity razor mais suave, até a pele ficar com menos imperfeições e ai sim evoluir pra ele.

Tal como lo publican ,es un afeitado suave pero ala vez muy efectivo,no irrita la piel y el diseño me gustó mucho.

The head is not locking the razor blade, disappointing, I hope to get a refund for this :(
