This is a low-profile razor, and it handles excellently. I would definitely recommend this to beginner's or people with sensitive skin. There are a lot of female Amazon reviewers of this product and that does not surprise me, I'm sure my girlfriend will steal this one from me. The downside is it isn't as aggressive, but you can always do a double pass. None of the Chinese made stuff can compare, sorry. I have tried several Chinese-made razors (Pakistani made razors are even worse, sadly), but even Viking's Blade top of the line is not as good as this. Usually the threads go bad, rendering a good Chinese razor completely useless. Get a Merkur, it's the real deal, you will feel the difference immediately and save money from buying replacements!

Never have I had a closer more comfortable shave, this shaver is a German High Quality Machined wonder. I came back to this type of razor after shaving for years with the throw away double edge plastic razors. Not only are they expensive, they do not give me an affordable close shave like this precision machine does.

Very good quality. Like the longer handle. Would prefer it be a bit heftier and the blade is a bit conservative - I'd prefer something a touch more aggressive. That said - it's a matter of preference. If you're not used to a double edged razor, you'll probably love it.

Perfect beginning DE razor or for people who have light to mild beard growth. Long handle is nice for people with big hands. Closed comb males this razor a little bit less aggressive and perfect for beginners. It is a 3 piece razor.

German engineering maintains its reputation; a great value; safety razors will not disappear soon for their 1) long-lasting quality, 2) are NOT plastic and will not wind up polluting lakes, reservoirs, oceans 3) blades are recyclable with no plastic involved
