MANSCAPED® The Plow® 2.0 Premium Single Blade Double-Edged Safety Face Razor for Men

This is the best razor i have ever had, ive been using disposable razors for years up until i got this, i would always get nicks and cuts with disposable ones, even when using shaving butter. i have tested this with a dry shave and it left my face smooth with no nicks and cuts. and i also have done it with shaving butter and after shave, and my face shave was perfect. and i also love the fact that it’s reusable, and it would last you for your entire lifetime. the design of the razor is perfect, it allows you to clean it efficiently, and it feels great in your hand.

A lot of the negative reviews on here focus on 3 things:1- Handle sheers off at base of threading2- Razor burn3- Complaints about being unable to replace the razors safelyAll three of these issues are not issues with the product it's most likely user error, with the exception that there might have been a razor that has manufacture defects for the handle. The handles sheer off most often because people slam the head onto the sink like it's a mach 3 plastic blade to clear it out instead of just running water in from the side of the head to clean it out and rinsing after each pass. Razor blades need to be replaced every 3 or so shaves, stop using the same blade for 6 months and the razor will work better this happens with every razors. Replacement blades are very easy to find just type in "safety razor blade" and look for a dual sided safety blade you do not need to get the brands blades, I use FACON blades and they're fantastic. When replacing the blade hold it by the sides where it is not sharp to unscrew the handle, set it down on the counter, hold the sides and lift the backing off, remove old blade by the sides, drop new blade into the threads as imaged, place the backing on again, then hold by the sides where it's not sharp, and thread the handle on.The razor works great, not had any cuts with it and no issues. I'm coming from a butterfly razor so compared to that this was a breeze to use. The sharpness of the razor is dependent on the user regularly replacing the disposable blades with decent replacements. I included a series of photos for step by step blade replacement as it did seem that some people are having issues and hopefully the photos help, it sucks to get cuts trying to get a better shave 100%. I can confidently hit the underside of my ear lobes and side burn where it hits the top of my ear and not look like I got into a knife fight.

It takes a few tries to get used to. Cut myself a couple times. After some experience, I'm getting the best shave ever. Great purchase.

Easy to use and replace blades.

I have more than a hundred (!) DE razors, not to mention a few straight razors and cartridge razors as well. I made the move to DE razors around 2010, with a desire to have less redness and closer shaves. So far, the “experiment” has paid off immeasurably - albeit with the realization that excellent prep (soap/face) is highly predictive of shave quality, with blade/razor choices important - but not always indicative of the outcome.With all that being said, I recognized, around 2019, that the RazoRock Lupo had become my clear favorite DE razor, allowing me the most widespread choice of blades while delivering the most comfortable (for me) shaves, every time.Well, I have to acknowledge that “The Plow” - which is ostensibly based on a Merkur or related tool - is totally knocking it out of the park for me.There is ample blade exposure here, but moreso, blade gap. It shaves well, and sharp, and totally comfortable. I’ve used Bic Astor, Feather, and Kai, as well as the blades that came with the razor (Merkur???). The heavy, thin handle - which is steady and propelling even with soap slickness - makes me feel secure with every shave. Crazily, I can’t find anything wrong with this razor and its blade combos, and I shave in cold water with amazing soaps (Nancy Boy is my favorite) and the occasional use of pre-shave formulae (Grooming Co). My beard is ROUGH and grows at multiple angles, requiring many angles…but the PLOW really does the job better than…get this…anything in my ample collection.Again, there might be other factors at play here. I am a better DE shaver than I was 3, 5, 10 years ago…and yet, I just find this razor to give me the best shave possible, with no irritation, and seriously close shaves. Will it happen for you? I don’t know, but right now, it’s the only razor in my line of usage.
