SHIBUMI Straight Razor Japanese Style Shavette

I’ve owned shavette razors before but this is the best by far. The non-folding design is easier for me to hold and to be able to see what I’m doing, I’ve also experienced very little cuts or irritation (if I did it was usually me rushing the process). It has a good weight and the blade remains very secure.

I received this razor about 2 months ago as a gift from my daughter from if had it i haven't used any of my other shavettes. This razor is well worth the money and with it using half DE blades makes it even better it came professionally packaged and well on time my advice to anyone is to get this razor from a great seller

A good value item, and worth a try. Still much prefer my regular straight razor though.

This is the greatest shavette I own... And I own a lot! It's very accurate, nicely made and much more ergonomic compared to the western, folding shaveettes.

When snapped in half the blades do not fit this product as the blade loader will not slide back in with the blade in placeUpdate. Managed to get the blade in but it isn't held securely. Result worst shave since I started using shavettes/straight razors so back in the box and the darkest recesses of my drawer it goes.

Having used straight razors for many years I though I'd move on from my Bluebeard razor and try something a more quirky.It gives a lot more control and the feel of the shave transfers down the handle. Quite comfortable and enjoyable to use.I wouldn't leave a blade in after use (dangerous to do so) and suspect not cleaning/drying it after a shave will result in rust inside as the slider quickly loses its protective paint. The blade holding clips are also very good and secures the blade well.The handle wrap I wish had more of a fabric feel rather than plastic but other than that I'd say it's a nice unique shaver. I'd recommend getting those bamboo straight razor stands you can buy as it fits well with it's theme.

I wanted to try how straight shaving experience would be like compared to DE, and so went with this as it seemed a like good value.This Shavette, I used with broken Astra blades, and it felt robust once loaded and didn't show much flex or chatter on the blade.Overall the shave was quite good, it takes a lot to get over the initial nervousness and you have to go slow! However once you're used to it, it's great fun and a different experience to your day to day razor... I personally can't see myself relying on this for everyday use, but definitely one to switch things up!My only main gripe with this is the way the blade is loaded and unloaded, although it's a robust mechanism with not much that can break, it seems like an easy way to cut yourself if you've got wet hands.

There are no blades included although it states 2 blades on the product page before you order.Very frustrating
