Cut Throat Razor Kit - Professional Barber Straight Razor with Wooden Handle - Single Edge Blade Shaving Razor for Moustache & Beard - Pouch Included - Blades NOT Included (SILVER)

Great product.sturdiness, easy to clean, very high quality.Only issue for me was not knowing how to use it before I did, had a fair few cuts

All in all okay, slightly unbalanced and fiddly to change blade

Good quality for the price well made and balanced a bit difficult at first to insert a new blade, holds the blade well though once you master it. Coupled with the new pre snapped blades that are incredibly fine give a great shave

This cut throat shavette is really lovely, the wooden hand conceals the shaving end safely and to ensure absolute safe storage it comes with a leather pouch. This takes the snap style blades and is super easy to fit them in and also remove when you need to change. The stainless steel shaving end is smooth and glides over the face with ease. This is a great razor and with the correct blades offers you a much closer shave with less irritation than your every day multi blade razors you find in shops.

The razor is very clunky and cheap looking. The fitting of the blade is a nightmare as the insert doesn't grip the blade and when you insert the slide the blade goes in at an angle and cut myself trying to hold it in firm enough to placenit in level. Ive been using straight cut throat razors for over 30 years and this is the Biggest waste of money.

blade loads very insecure, would not trust this razor on my face, putting it in the bin

I really like the quality of this. The handle feels really good in the hand, it's well balanced, while being fairly lightweight. I've had other straight razors in the past, where the handle is made of metal and is actually a little heavy in use - it feels almost as if you're fighting with the weight of the handle, which is something that you really don't need when shaving.This handle however, is perfect in that regard. it helps stabilise the blade and shaving hand, but not at the expense of being unwieldy.It comes in a really good quality leather holster too, which protects everything in transit - especially important when you're carrying this in a washbag for instance.For the money, I'd say that you're unlikely to get anywhere near the quality of this elsewhere, and recommend this razor very highly indeed!

Aesthetically this razor is superb. Loving the wood and the pouch, they feel very qualitative. The black metal bit goes really well with the wood. Absolutely loving how it looks.The other great bit is the system design for applying the blade. I have another cut throat razor with a completely different mechanism that requires the metal to be widened and then pinched again, that’s the normal system and if you don’t use it often enough it gets hard to “relax” the metal, which is very annoying.Where it heavily disappointed me is with the execution of the loading mechanism. Idea is brilliant as mentioned above however my razor came with the 2 pins WAY too tight. Not only was it heavily annoying to try to fit a brand new blade into it for 20 minutes but it was also very dangerous as I was literally trying to push a sharp blade by applying pressure on the sharp end.I have also tried putting it in place just enough but the blade won’t retract back in so that’s not an option. I eventually thought I should try bending the pins and I could only do it by inserting the SHARP end of the blade first which BARELY went in because of how tight they were. Once in, bending them a bit was very easy and since then I haven’t had any issues with replacing my blades. I am not sure many would even bother thinking about a solution , I imagine most people would just get frustrated and leave it.Now onto the experience of shaving with it : It’s too light and I didn’t expect that to be a problem.With a full metal blade you get a bit of control as weight helps with controlling the pressure.This one is so light you feel when you go through your hairs and you also feel the difference in resistance which is a problem because you won’t be adjusting the pressure on the blade after each hair is cut.Because of how light it is, it feels cheap.I am torn because I love the aesthetic, I just think it was designed by people who don’t actually use razors like this.I will continue to use it as prop for photography though but I’m getting back to my uglier-but-metal razor.
