    "The pinnacle of over a century's worth of innovation and expertise"… and we're back to using single blade non-electronic razers… look how far we've come lol

      PS I bought a couple ><

    Purchased last deal and ultra satisfied. It's got a good heft, shape and I love the longer handle (makes using it easy to manuever). The only downside is the handle is a bit too smooth for my liking, a bit of a rougher grip would've made it perfect.

    I didn't bother to use the blades that came with the razor, I use Astra as my preferred blade.

    ~

    Don't bother asking how it compares to X, you won't be able to compare this to anything in this price range. I have a Merkur ($40ish), that I've retired due to this Gilette.

    • MaxStinge on 08/06/2023 - 23:22

      Agreed, the knurling on the handle is a spiral that is quite slippery. But other than that, it is super good for the price.

    • dtc on 09/06/2023 - 00:15

      cheapish weird hack but if you find it too slippery, buy some tennis/squash racquet grip and wrap it around the handle. It will last for ages and doesnt go mouldy or anything. Replace it every 12 months or so.

  • Spending2Much on 08/06/2023 - 22:57

    Thought be about time to try a double edge set up….
    Hoping the 90+ votes is a good sign this is the one to jump on

    • Deadalready on 09/06/2023 - 18:55

      To note, it's not as fast as other methods but once you get into the meditation of double edge razors you'll feel pretty refreshed and manly.

      It's also a close shave with low overheads.

    this is great entry level de razor to get you started, way better then the chinese cheapo ones.
    i upgraded to an awesome heavy edwin jagger, the weight of it does the shaving for me.

      Wow so cancel culture of you

  • virhlpool on 08/06/2023 - 23:50

    I was lucky enough to try out the Dollar Shave Club razor for $2.41 (handle + 6 blades) when this deal was posted. Not bad for that price really but later realised it was a price error so no more expectations of cheap replacements.

    Similarly, this one for half price (+ S&S) isn't too bad a deal.

  • nfreitas on 09/06/2023 - 00:02

    • Hugh G Rection on 09/06/2023 - 09:43

      i hope you got badger hair shave brush. i use proraso soap.

      • smarter_fool on 09/06/2023 - 10:00

        I got the proraso boar bristle and proraso sandalwood soap as recommended by someone here.

        • nubzy on 09/06/2023 - 12:27

          How much did you get the brush for? Myer seems to have cheapest price at the moment but it’s only sold in city store which is inconvenient. Was thinking of the Wahl on sale at Shaver Shop instead..

  • Zhi123 on 09/06/2023 - 02:25

    I'm pretty sure chemist warehouse is doing the same promotion as well. link here:

    Bought this when it was last on sale as well. First safety razor and it has made me absolutely love having to shaving.

    I have been using it with a 100 pack of Astra blades bought off Beard & Blade for $16, which I also highly recommend. Definitely suggest getting an alum block while you're shopping for blades, shaving soap, brush and bowl.

  • ValouSydney on 09/06/2023 - 04:24

    How does it compare to let's say Mach 3?

    • joelmuzz on 09/06/2023 - 17:06

      Kind of personal opinions. Some like them some not.
      I dont think this is the best example of a DE razor, but if you can walk into Chemist Warehouse and get on for $15 its an ok way to find out. Or get one on AliExpress which IMO are better.

  • Psygnosis on 09/06/2023 - 07:35

    This is made in China.

    For 12 dollars more get this, which is made in Japan and will last you longer

    • virhlpool on 09/06/2023 - 14:16
      +1

      Doesn't it make more sense to buy two of the ones on this post (one now and one later when needed) for about the same price? People have mentioned that it lasts for years anyway. I much prefer Made in Japan products any day but in this case the economics doesn't make sense unless the Feather razor goes for a special/ deal.

    • joelmuzz on 09/06/2023 - 17:08

      Its basic metal and a screw. Either will last until you drop them the wrong way. Probably crack a tile before the razor.

  • mr2ns on 09/06/2023 - 07:50

    I have a thick 5 o’clock shadow within a few hours. I shave everyday as a personal preference. I use Gillette pro glide fusions 5 blades but wondering how these compare with my manly face. Any comments from any with manly facial hairs?

    • Psygnosis on 09/06/2023 - 08:07

      Manly face lol. I’m a middle easterner so I have no problem growing facial hair, and have no problems shaving with them, it all depends on which razor blade you’re using. It’s a cost saving thing with safety razors, you end up saving a lot more.

    • joelmuzz on 09/06/2023 - 17:10

      They generally clog less than a multiblade, and due to double sides you spin it and get twice the swipes before a rinse off.

  • scorpweb on 09/06/2023 - 08:07

    how long in general do these sort of blades last? always been keen to try but just never sure how long the blades go?

    • nubzy on 09/06/2023 - 08:28
      +2

      About 6-8 shaves in my experience. Pick up the 100 pack of Astra on ebay for $15.99 so you will always have a new one ready to go.

      • scorpweb on 09/06/2023 - 09:02

        thanks :)

    • dimavs on 09/06/2023 - 14:02

      I'be bought 200 blades (Astra, ~22AUD) around 6 years ago. Just about to start the second hundred.

  • Looking4Bargians on 09/06/2023 - 08:07

    Ended up buying this and Astra Blade with Proraso shaving brush and shaving soap.

    • Looking4Bargians on 09/06/2023 - 11:11

      Received already this morning

    • nubzy on 09/06/2023 - 12:31

      You get the brush from Amazon? I looked last night and no stock. Myer price was also cheaper by a dollar or two but no stock nearby either.

      • Looking4Bargians on 09/06/2023 - 13:55

        I had the brush before, so didn't need it

    • virhlpool on 09/06/2023 - 15:19

      Wondering if brush and sap have anything to do with a type of razor though. If you could do without it with the other razor, you could still do without it with this razor.

      • nubzy on 09/06/2023 - 16:18
        +1

        Yes you can do without it but it’s part of the shaving ‘experience’ to have the nice soap and make a lather etc. I usually just use hand soap and warm water but today decided to buy some red Proraso and a brush and do it right.

        • virhlpool on 09/06/2023 - 18:56

          Great. Makes sense!

  • megadeth on 09/06/2023 - 08:50

      A bit more expensive but it’s made in Japan

      • Spamazon on 09/06/2023 - 16:38

        Thanks looks good!

    • joelmuzz on 09/06/2023 - 17:17

      AliExpress has a bunch with the better butterfly mechanism at same price point. Yintal is probably the better end but the others like Baili and Weishei are fine.
      last one I got was a Yintal on flash sale for $8.
      Their quality is good, China makes them in the millions for their domestic market.

  • mike6969 on 09/06/2023 - 09:46

      • meong on 09/06/2023 - 15:35

        maybe add a report to this deal to add CWH to this deal so people who missed out on Amazon can still get it from CWH…

        i tried to add a report but accidentally clicked resolved…
