HL Chrome Plated Closed Comb DE Butterfly Safety Razor
An inexpensive double edge safety razor for beginners. It is very light and mild, so you would not end up with a sore and bleeding face. This is of the butterfly design - simply twist the knob and the head opens - insert the blade and turn the knob the other way to close. Comes with a Gilette 7 O'clock DE blade for a nice clean shave.
Contrary to general belief, DE safety razors are really easy and safe to use once you get the knack of it. And you would NEVER go back to the junk 90% of the people shave with today. No more clogged up blades which go dull after 3 shaves and 2, 3, 4 or even 5 blades tugging and tearing at your beard and skin.
And the opinions are universal - there is NO shave like a proper DE razor shave. Well, maybe a straight razor or Shavette, but they are not everyone's cup of tea. Bear in mind that razor manufacturers have moved away from traditional shaving methods to disposable and cartridge systems. WHY? There is no money in it for them with straight razors and safety razors because they last for ever and DE safety blades are as cheap as chips. The razors are built like tanks and last forever. So they had to develop a replacement to make money, and that is where the horrid disposable and plastic cartridge razors came in. And in our very busy and manic, time limited lifes, everyone fell for it, hook, line & sinker!
There is a HUGE resurgence worldwide to the traditional wet shave. And the reasons are simple:
1) The best shaves ever
2) Very cheap
3) Very satisfying - nothing like a clean shaved face
4) The nostalgia, the ritual and the smell
5) One has to get up 10 minutes earlier, but the whole experience is worth it!
And ask yourself the question: Why do all professional barbers worldwide still use traditional shaving tools? So come on people, join the millions who know what a shave should be like!
