Safety Razor

I had been using Harry’s for a year or two, but the blades just didn’t last very long. After maybe two shaves, they already felt dull — and my beard isn’t even that heavy. I asked ChatGPT for a recommendation, and it suggested trying a safety razor. I honestly couldn’t believe the difference. This is the best razor I’ve ever used. What’s funny is that it’s the same technology my father used years ago, and now I don’t even understand why multi-blade razors became so popular. Much smoother shave, less irritation, and far less clogging.

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.

picked this razor up hoping for a cleaner shave with less irritation, and for the most part it delivered. The weighted handle feels solid in the hand and lets the razor do most of the work without needing to press down much. On days when my skin is smooth and calm, it gives a very close shave and leaves my face feeling nice and clean afterward. I also noticed it was easier to rinse out compared to some multi-blade razors that tend to get clogged. The learning curve is real though, especially if you’re used to cartridge razors, so taking your time helps. Where this razor struggled for me was when I had breakouts, pimples, or rough patches on my skin. It tends to catch those spots more easily, and I had to be extra careful around irritated areas. Because of that, I found myself reaching for a different razor whenever my skin wasn’t cooperating. Overall, it’s a well-made razor that works best when your skin is in good shape, but it’s not the most forgiving option for shaving over blemishes or uneven areas, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars.

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.

Spend more for a better razor if you want to shave with a safety razor. I ordered this as it was relatively cheap and had good reviews, but it isn’t worth it. Nice handle, but that doesn’t mean much when the metal quality for the blades that go in it is very poor. Chipped my skin quick.

I’ve been a quandary with regard to buying a safety razor over the past several months. I’ve done research and got it down to two. I’ve been using electric razors for most of my life and I am a fan of them, however, I usually can not get a clean shave around my neck. I’ve used Gillette Mac 3 for years, and have even tried disposable razors for women’s legs for that purpose, but I just get tired of having to go over and over and over the same spot to get a close shave so my stubs don’t pillo my shirt collar. My final choice was Bevel safety razor. As soon as I received it, I raced to the bathroom to give it a try. To my delight I was able to shave my neck without a neck or problem on the first try, and it’s a close shave! The only thing that surprise me about a straight edge razor, you simply can’t dive in to the middle of your beard. I guess that’s from using electric razors most of my life. additionally I like to do a final cleaning with a razor after my electric shave and I never use shaving cream. So could I do it with a straight edge razor. Yes!

Nice razor but I guess the angle of the blade is a little too aggressive for my face. I’ve tried the included blades along with 5 other brands and when I get done my face is on fire. I usually shave with up and down strokes but if I attempt upstrokes I’m bleeding. Also tried 3 different shave creams. Again, nice razor but going back to my trusted Merkur.

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 :(
