Professional Straight Edge Barber Razor,Straight razors for men, Premium Stainless Steel Shaver Razor with Shaving Strop for Men Home & Salon Grooming Using (NO.188)

VERY SHARP!

I bought the razor for it's looks. It is a cool design and could be a nice display piece. Is no surprise that the razor do not came shave ready. That is something that is expected and I won't count that as a negative. You have to hone it yourself or send it to be honed. I have a basic set of stones and honed it. After that, I did shaved with it and it did its job. BUT, It is not for the beginner. The spanish point in this razor could easily nick you if you're not careful. If You are learning to use a straight razor, get yourself one with a round point (available form the same seller) That been said. It is a nice looking razor and it will add something to any collector's display. It came with a sleeve to store it and a strop. I like the razor a lot, But, for know, I don't see this as my main razor. The strop is decent and I like that it have leather and canvas sides.

I rated this product three stars because it was not as sharp as I expected out of the box. I had to sharpen it myself, starting with a 1,000-grit stone, then moving to a 5,000-grit, and finishing on a 12,000-grit stone. After that, it achieved a true razor-sharp edge.

Gets a close shave , cleans well. Very nice 😊

I've been using a shavette and a DE safety razor to shave my head for a few years. I had bought a very low end straight razor, but it never kept an edge, needed constant sharpening and honing, and just wasn't that great. I saw this straight razor on Amazon pop up a few times, and thought, why not? It doesn't cost that much, and it seems to have some pretty good reviews. I've had this razor now for a few weeks, and here are my impressions. Pros: • The razor was already sharp and ready to shave upon arrival. • The steel seems of decent quality, and seems to hold an edge so far. • The razor itself has a good weight, so I don't feel like I have to push down at all to get it to shave. Cons: • The strop is very low-quality "pleather", and it feels pretty flimsy. Ideally, I'd like something real leather and a bit sturdier - not feeling like I could rip it in half before pulling it off the wall. • The pivot/pivot pin area feels a little loose. It could be tighter, and this leads to - it feels to me - having to readjust my grip whilst stropping and shaving as the handle moves around. Overall, I give this 3/5 stars for the price point, overall seeming quality of the steel and the blade, and the weight - with the cons keeping it from being 5/5 stars.

When there is nothing else left, this will be the best thing to have so you don't look like a cave man, it will shave any body part, male or female, nice weight, balanced, and lots of blade to sharpen for years, get one, several styles, Viking has lots of old style shaving choices, enjoy!

Won’t stay sharp my regular razor is way sharper and it doesn’t open all the way up in reverse so where you’re using with your left hand it’s awkward the devil is for right hand only so as a blade no instructions do you shave up on one side and down on the other because of the blade and then it will stay sharp And there’s no instructions how to sharpen it with a strap Not happy

This was my first razor I got when I first started shaving with a straight razor over a year ago. Since then, I've went on to use other razors, but often would come back to this one as it was just reliable. I now use a very premium dovo razor, but I do not recommend beginner to start with something like this. You needs to start off with something like this to learn to shave, strop, and to learn to sharpen.
