Cut Throat Razor Kit - Professional Barber Straight Razor with Wooden Handle - Single Edge Blade Shaving Razor for Moustache & Beard - Pouch Included - Blades NOT Included (BLACK)

Nice

All in all okay, slightly unbalanced and fiddly to change blade

Updating review:Took some fanagling to get it to take the blades - the tabs that are supposed to hold the blade (the ones that are stamped out/through) were not pushed out far enough from the factory, required manual adjustment with a small screwdriver.Instructions on the page and in the package were not clear enough that these tabs are supposed to snugly hug around the blade - I initially thought they were there for the blade to rest against. Once I figured they were supposed to go over the razor and adjusted them - item functions fine. Knocking one star off for unclear instructions.

Great product.sturdiness, easy to clean, very high quality.Only issue for me was not knowing how to use it before I did, had a fair few cuts

The razor is very clunky and cheap looking. The fitting of the blade is a nightmare as the insert doesn't grip the blade and when you insert the slide the blade goes in at an angle and cut myself trying to hold it in firm enough to placenit in level. Ive been using straight cut throat razors for over 30 years and this is the Biggest waste of money.

This razor has a slide out grip, that you are supposed to slide your blade into. This grip does not hold the blade, and it just keeps falling free. Apart from being poor, this is also highly risky. Don’t risk spending this amount of money, while other products half the price are better quality and work.

The quality of the handle is evident, it's really well made and the quality shines through. I like the leather holding caseMy only complaints are the lack of blades, for the price I think a small number of blades should be included as standard. I know this is in the title but it's an easy thing to include.

Aesthetically this razor is superb. Loving the wood and the pouch, they feel very qualitative. The black metal bit goes really well with the wood. Absolutely loving how it looks.The other great bit is the system design for applying the blade. I have another cut throat razor with a completely different mechanism that requires the metal to be widened and then pinched again, that’s the normal system and if you don’t use it often enough it gets hard to “relax” the metal, which is very annoying.Where it heavily disappointed me is with the execution of the loading mechanism. Idea is brilliant as mentioned above however my razor came with the 2 pins WAY too tight. Not only was it heavily annoying to try to fit a brand new blade into it for 20 minutes but it was also very dangerous as I was literally trying to push a sharp blade by applying pressure on the sharp end.I have also tried putting it in place just enough but the blade won’t retract back in so that’s not an option. I eventually thought I should try bending the pins and I could only do it by inserting the SHARP end of the blade first which BARELY went in because of how tight they were. Once in, bending them a bit was very easy and since then I haven’t had any issues with replacing my blades. I am not sure many would even bother thinking about a solution , I imagine most people would just get frustrated and leave it.Now onto the experience of shaving with it : It’s too light and I didn’t expect that to be a problem.With a full metal blade you get a bit of control as weight helps with controlling the pressure.This one is so light you feel when you go through your hairs and you also feel the difference in resistance which is a problem because you won’t be adjusting the pressure on the blade after each hair is cut.Because of how light it is, it feels cheap.I am torn because I love the aesthetic, I just think it was designed by people who don’t actually use razors like this.I will continue to use it as prop for photography though but I’m getting back to my uglier-but-metal razor.
