Pearl Shaving Double Edge Close Comb Safety Razor (SS-01 CC (Antique Brass)) -Shaving Razor for Men | Classic & Traditional Shaving Kit for Men | Premium Blade razors for Mother's day Gift Option

--- Story Time ---Never shaved till I was 24. I have always been a beard guy. But for beard related personal research, i had to shaved it all, last year. Had been shaving for continuous 15 days every 3 months for an year.[Research Result] Shaving (not trimming) helps with thicker beard growth. Not thicker hair, but increased hair density. Because when you shave you cut the baby hairs - that are not easy to cut with trimmer - they regrow as full hair.I own a cheap Straight Razor (Ustra), which i bought years ago to keep my beard lines in shape. Been using the same for complete shave, for an year. Though, i have learnt to handle it, it's still not easy. Almost everything i end up with atleast one cut. Other times, with many cuts. I'm done with my beard-research, but want to keep my face clean shaved for a few months. I can still use Ustra, but it needs patience, precision and time. I have Patience and Precision, but I'm running little low on time. So i bought a Gillette Vector Plus Cartridge razor. The cheapest in market, with one Cartridge selling for ₹30. Compared to ₹3 for a standard double-edge blade.I used Vector Plus for 10 days. It was easy, safe and very fast to shave with. Love it. But i wanted to shave the traditional way. So i googled about Double Edge Safety Razor.Online experts said that Double Edge is the best razor you could own. So searched on Amazon for these Razors. Pearl Razors were among the cheapest one with better reviews. Did my further research on the brand. Found out that they are selling the same razors outside of India. I bought Closed Comb for ₹289. But outside India, same product is selling for $23 (₹1700+). And the people who used it, actually praised it. So without any further thought, i placed my order.-- Review --It looks better than in photos. Not a fan of chrome but i couldn't find Matté Black color by Pearl on Amazon so had to settle. It is complete metal build (Brass and Zinc). Feels heavy in hand, which is good. Easy to open and close. Textured and fairly long handle (but not too long) for better grip. Top is chrome with Pearl branding (probably sandblasted). When blade is put inside the razor, the top-plate bends the blade perfectly. (I have installed the blade in photos. Can you see?) Since no one taught me shaving, i learnt it from internet. But this razor came with a shaving guide which can help anyone in detail who didn't googled "how to shave". I personally love that little booklet. It was helpful.And then we come to the shaving part. I was expecting some cuts and burns. To my disappointed, didn't get any. Yes, a couple pimples burst-ed. But pimples always bleed, even if you use the safest razor in the world. This is undoubtedly the "Safety" Razor. I ran this Razor with and against the grain. I have never received this close shave. They say, you get closer shave with an Open Comb design. But what's more close than this? De-rooting the hair? With Ustra (and even with Cartridge Razor), i could never shave my chin perfectly. A dimple chin is the most complex part to shave. But with this Double Edge Razor, i could finally shave it to smooth.Yes, you get this kind of perfect shave with any Double Edge Razor. So you don't have to stick with Pearl. But in my experience, Pearl is selling an amazing razor at ₹300. Other Double Edge razor selling at this price or lower feels hollow and light.-- Conclusion & FAQs--Apart from logo, everything about this razor is perfect. I love it. It will last me years to come. Maybe generations, since I'll grow my beard back and hardly will shave.If you are reading this because you have never tried Wet Shaving, but want to: Brother, please give it a try. With this safety razor, it will be safe, quick and easy to shave. End result will be a smooth skin, which you would love. I have always been a beard guy. But i am loving the shaving experience so much, that i want to stay clean shaved for some time.I absolutely do suggest buying a Double Edge Razor over any other type of razor. If you don't want to research before buying, just buy the Pearl Safety Razor. You will not be disappointed.If you are confused between closed comb and open comb, go with the close comb. Open comb is said to provide a super close shave but it is for experts. And honestly, Pearl Closed Comb already gave me a very close - smooth - shave. (Because i ran it twice. Once with the grain, second time against the grain.)---------- Thank you ----------Since you read my whole review, i thank you for trusting me to help you with your purchase decision.So as a token of gratitude, i give you one piece of information:If you don't like this Chrome Look and the Pearl Branding, but want this Double Edge Safety Razor: go to pearlshaving.inOn their website, they are selling the Matté Black Metal version of same razor for ₹359. It goes by the model name SS-09. It has better handle design, a thin silver ring in the handle. And no tacky pearl branding.Enjoy your shaving. Cheers!

it the best so far however you have to master the use of the same, if angle changes it would make your skin rough unlikely gillet 3 blade razor.

I have been using mannual shaving kits and electric shavers from more than 7 years, and it has always took me 2 or 3 shaves to get used to, to a new shaver, but for the first time i was surprised to see how good and effortlessly this product works. Very fine shaving, even reverse shaving is smooth with product, many people avoid reverse shaving, but I have to shave everyday, been using it from a week, and I don't see any reason to not buy this, I would recommend everyone to try, with its solid build quality and durability, it's worth buying at the current price, more than value for money.

This is an excellent quality closed comb double-edged razor. Materials, machining & finish are top-notch. The shave is smooth & close, and much better than you would get with a plastic cartridge razor, no matter whether it has 2 blades or 5.Nowadays there are many excellent YouTube channels dedicated to men's grooming, where the creators are usually American. These channels advertise and promote niche grooming products products sold by foreign brands. This product is in no way inferior to any premium product by any other brand. This will give you a better shave than the most expensive Gillette Razor, while saving you lots of money (double-edge blades are much cheaper than cartridges). I would recommend this to anyone into DE shaving without hesitation.

It serves the purpose but the tool is quite heavy for a long shave.I used to have 7oclock razor which was quite light but this one stains the hand.

First time using safety razor,it was a good experience,helps that they have multiple razor blades provided.Good sturdy product.handle is firm and heavy

Product is actually very nice.

Quality is very good and heavy material use and awesome look
