Thread: rigarazor

Ok so I had my shave with this new blade. I'M NOT IMPRESSED. I shaved the right side of my face, wow it was smooth. Did under my jaw and I'm feeling a bit of tugging. Doing the left side of my face and we are missing patches. Cut myself (it's been a long time since that happened). F-This! Pulled out my Tally-ho and finished the job.
Yeah it popped tree tops but couldn't deal with a week of growth.
Bad edges happen. I will contact seller and see if he stands behind his product.
At this point I will not recommend.

Could it be that it needs to be honed? I mean was it advertised as shave ready? Even if it was that is a subjective thing. What is shave ready to you might not be shave ready to me. I would shave with a Dovo right out of the box.

Are the two sides as asymmetrical as they appear to be in this photo? The two spines do not appear to be opposite each other.

It's a shame to put so much effort into a razor and then blow it on the "wedge."

It was advertised as shave ready.
Blade looks good to me. Nothing I could point a finger at and say "see there's the problem"
I should mention I did not strop blade before using.

Thats why i got i cheap. Pink isnt manly enough for them.


So ive contacted the seller and hes issued a refund. Ill be shipping it back tomorrow. I very much look forward to the one he will be shipping to me.
They a beautiful looking razors and it really just seemed to be a honing issue, but i didnt want to put it to the stones and be wrong.

To the one that won that tanifuji he had. Good buy. I really should have bid more.

Hey Colin - is that the one you showed me at the meet?

It looked fantastic and if I recall correctly, you said that it turned out, or the one you had turned out, to be a really nice blade after you put a great edge on it. They are certainly stunning looking blades, one of the few customs I've seen that peaks my interest?

I'm impressed ! after using the razor 3 month I cannot find anything bad. This razor is probably the most beautiful I own and the most important the shaving using this beauty is extremely smooth. The razor was delivered as shave ready but I did some pass on my Thuringian anyway.
You cannot find similar razor to this price, this is for sure.
The razor I bought is 8/8 with black horn scales.
