WEISHI Butterfly Open Double Edge Safety Razor Nostalgic Adjustable Matte Black

Tried everything from disposable to replaceable cartridge to even OneBlade (tm)... Decided I've had enough and ready to try DE razor, as cost of those items have gone up, and DE blades are dirt cheap (If you use one DE blade a week, $10 will get you 100 blades, which is enough to last you 2 YEARS!) The actual item did not disappoint. The butterfly mechanism works exactly as shown... The top opens and you can load the DE blade easily. Reverse spin to close. This is an adjustable razor, which means the angle of the blade can be adjusted slightly to provide a sharper... or shallower shave. If you just started using DE razors, keep the setting low (2-3). If you need sharper angles (closer shave) then turn up the settings gently to maybe 5 or 6, and remember to use plenty of shaving gel or foam or whatever you use. I chose an adjustable, but you can pick a "fixed" razor to save a few bucks, it just won't be this model. And they have different finishes to suit your mood... silver/steel, pewter, rainbow chrome, and so on. This came with 5 of their own branded blades to get you started, and as I don't have very thick facial hair, I only use about one a week. It is somewhat surprising that I need to replace them that quickly, but then, you don't want to shave with a dull razor, even a DE razor. Turning up the angle setting doesn't really help. I've tried. As mentioned before, if you use one blade a week, $10 will last you TWO YEARS. Even the famous H-brand razors with replaceable heads runs $18-20 a month! And these guys claim to have their own European factory making those heads themselves for savings! You'll make back what you spent on these in just a few months! So if you want to give DE razors a try, this one is great. It's not super-weighty, it's not "crafted from aircraft aluminum", it's just a solid DE razor you can shave with, and it works well.

One thing straight away, and it seems to be most adjustable razors in my experience, but they tend towards being slightly more aggressive than your typical closed comb razors. It’s not true in 100% of cases, but seems to be fairly true of this one. The first couple of settings are TOO mild & by the time you get to the 3rd setting? You’ve got yourself a moderately aggressive shaver 💯 Don’t let that intimidate you, it’s not nearly as bad as some would lead you to believe, but for me to get around the newfound “aggression” of my shaver? I did something that seems counterintuitive, I put an aggressively sharp Feather blade in it set to setting #4 and now? I get a perfect shave EVERY time with no irritation or nicks 🤷🏻‍♂️ Putting an aggressively sharp Feather blade into a razor that ends towards aggression seems like the last thing you’d want to do, but in this instance? It worked beautifully!! This is a very well made budget safety razor that will last you a VERY LONG TIME if even occasional maintenance is done to it. I’m impressed!! I’m a little shocked the rating isn’t even higher than what’s shown. But this is a MUST BUY if you’re a wet shaver 💯💯

I think an average shaver, with a good price

Good item.

This razor looks and feels very solid however doesn't quite work perfectly.The adjustment is a little off and the blade is sometimes uneven. It is nice it is adjustable although it takes to much messing with it to get it adjusted good. Feels good in my hand and shaves fine.

I used Feather blades for my first go. I really love the weight, length and diameter of the handle. The opening operates smoothly (so far - it is new). I set the adjustment beginning at 1 and gradually got to 3, where it felt about right to me. Shave was good. I opened it a little to rinse it out as there was foam under the blade - no big deal. Its easier to load than my old standard razor, and nicer than the old Gillette butterfly razor that I inherited from my father. Didn't give it perfect rating for "value", which I assumed was cost, but it was money well spent.

I have to start off by saying that I really like the size and weight of this razor. It’s comfortable for me to use, but the shave quality is another matter. With a blade installed and tightened into place, the adjustment collar will only go down to about 2 1/2 and that does not result in a mild shave (there is quite a bit of blade feel at that setting). After you get to around 4, the blade starts to tilt in the head and gets worse as the setting increases; the blade gap becomes large at one end of the head and small at the other. This results in an inconsistent shave with several nicks. The razor body is fine, but the mechanism is very flawed.

Very nice to use. Solid construction.

Very good quality and feel to it so far a big improvment on my old one

Se ve muy bonito y se siente pesado. Las navajas que vienen incluidas están bien, tiene un cepillo pequeño para limpiar. En general, bien.

Lo que no me gustó es que el ajuste para rasurada suave, tiene que moverse a la marca MAX cada vez que se pone o se quita la Navaja.

Well made and easy to use. Love the different levels to adjust the blade thickness when shaving.

Cabezal desalineado. Cuando se mueve el dial para seleccionar el grado de mínimo a máximo la base se desalinea lo que origina que la hoja corte de manera desigual y por lo tanto peligroso. Hay reseñas de lo anterior, no lo compren, no arriesguen su cara y mejor compren otra marca. MERKUR O VIKINGS BLADE SIN DUDA!!!!
