Classic 176

This razor works out far more cost effective than using disposable ones. This was the main reason I purchased this product. The handle you keep forever and you just buy a pack of 100 double sided blades seperately for about £5. What I love most about this razor, is I get the closest shave ever. My skin has never felt so smooth. Normally i have to go over my skin at least twice to get smooth skin, but this one its just once. As a first time safety razor user, it was slightly tricky to use to begin with. This razor is heavy which takes time to get used to holding. I kept thinking i was going to drop it, as the handle is small also. But I adapted to it quickly. It also takes a while to get used to using it at the correct angle. When you have the correct angle, you wont accidently nick yourself. I did a few times to begin with, but after researching how to use it properly, i dont have this problem at all anymore. Its super easy to switch the razor blades. I have the razor with the butterfly top, and it makes it much more safer to switch blades. I chose the copper colour, it is so stunning. Its like a vibrant rose gold, very feminine. Overrall this razor is very high quality and I will never go back to disposable ones!

For most of my adult life I have used disposable razors, usually of the two-blade type. I can't understand why I didn't think before of going back to the more traditional type of razor. I ordered two, a black one for home use and a chrome one for going away. Both are superb and give me a close and comfortable shave. They are slightly different in how you fit the blades (and this threw me at first). The black one opens by twisting the end of the handle, while the other one needs to have the head unscrewed to put the blade in. Both are easy to do. The little carrying box with mirror is useful and takes spare blades. As I have stated, a lovely razor and highly recommended. Great value.

This is my second favourite razor (my first is a Merkur 15C). Bought it in 2022 and still using it in 2026 as my travel razor. I find the handling is good and it gives my face a nice close shave, though I do cut myself with it from time to time.

I gave up cartridge razors years ago. I just don't see why 5 blades in one cart does anything other than cost more and create more drag when In use. I moved to old fashioned double sided blade style and immediately loved it. Since then over the last 15 years , I have owned many top brand units in this style. Until now my favourite was still a black plastic double head type from a well known sword manufacturer and was actually fairly cheap. I gave up buying chromed fancy looking and expensive jobs when none of them were as good. I came to the conclusion it was always about the size, the weight and the amount of blade exposed which is where my old faithful always had me going back. I decided to give this one a go as I always wanted the butterfly mechanism and a nice looking chromed finish and unlike the many others I have wasted lots of cash on, this one was short handled and I figured that might be the clincher. I was right, short handle is definitely the way to go. It makes it so easy to move around and keep close control. The weight saving is also hugely noticable. Why do you think lady razors are always lightweight and stubby? Because it makes the unit feel like it's more an extension of your hand and less of a cumbersome tool. In addition I was hugely surprised at how smooth this razor is. I suspect they have got the radius of the head just right and the blade exposed perfect to do the job. I always accepted a few Knicks here and there due to the nature of the beast, but genuinely this razor has totally eliminated that, honestly I can't believe how sharp the blade seems to be just by being in a different unit. Overall, If you are on the fence you won't be disappointed. Stop paying double digits for half a dozen carts, and buy 100+ blades for under double digits and enjoy something that was always good and never really needed re-inventing.

Great razor. Gives a great shave. Shorter handle than my old Wilkinson sword razor, but better balanced and doesn’t get clogged up if too much shaving soap is used.

Average, works to a point and you can shave with it but the thread for the head is a bit too short in my experience. When clearing between each stroke the head tends to fall off when you slacken it enough to actually get the hair out, if you don’t slacken it enough so the head stays on then it doesn’t clear it properly. As I say it does the shaving well enough it’s just a pain having to pick the head out of the sink and screw it back on every time you clear it.

Bought the Butterfly version. This surprised me. Have tried handles from Edwin jagger, Parker, Muhle, Merkul, and eventually settled on a (much more expensive, but absolutely fantastic) Henson. I've tried open combs, slna t bars, everything there is. I can't speak for consistency between units, or longevity, but I've been reaching for this as often as I go for the Henson - though it's a fraction of the price and comes with a travel case. Thr case has space to store blades, but if you're flying it'll almost certainly have to go in checked/hold luggage. Anyone getting into DE shaving will need to prepare themselves for the fun of finding blades/soap/creme etc. that work for them, but I found this to be a gentle enough shave that I can and have recommended it to friends, while providing a really pretty close shave. In its case it takes up less space than a pack of cards, and of course it has the benefit of only swapping out the blade and reusing the handle - like all DE razors - so less waste. Also, the butterfly action... Just feels really cool. I was really positively surprised by this.

well made and good to use

The razor has some weight to it and feels nice when holding it, proper high quality razor by the look and feel of it. Changing the safety razor blades is easy and effortless. But beware the razor definitely takes some getting used to. I had a number of very small cuts the first time I used it, but then I figured out the right way to hold it and I haven't cut myself since... well at least less than I would when using a one way razor. If you are unsure what to do with it, there are good tutorials on YouTube. It's pretty easy to get used to and always having a fresh and sharp blade makes it so much easier. I definitely recommend this product.

Rasoio da viaggio, quindi è un pochino più corto di un rasoio tradizionale. Comunque rimane sempre ottimo come manegevolezza. La qualità è ottima e la farfalla chiude perfettamente. C'è anche una comoda scatolina da viaggio, che oltre il rasoio può contenere anche una confezione da 5 lamette.

Excellent rasoir avec de l'habitude vous obtenez l'angle parfait et une prise du manche correct.

Buon prodotto, funziona bene. Lamette non incluse e maniaco un pò corto

Ilrasoio si presenta bene perchè curato nei particolari, ben cromato. Il problema che ho riscontrato appena ricevuto, quindi senza usarlo, che sulla guardia era presenti segni di scalfittura derivanti sicuramente dall'avvitatura del manico su di essa. Essendo la testa fatta di zamak, questo è un problema perchè l'umidità si infiltra e a breve si forma ruggine. Peccato: una rondella di nylon avrebbe potuto evitare l'inconveniente. Ho fatto subito il reso.
