Thread: Standard Razor

Gentlemen-
To those that have this razor, could you please answer two questions:

-How is the overall weight? Being aluminum, my concern would be that it is too light for me - I like heavier DEs.

-From the pictures it appears that there is no knurling on the handle - any problems with slippage?

Thanks alot - hope you guys continue to enjoy this razor.

Hey Gags,

Perfect shave with new Standard Razor | Later On

Thanks, flintlock

I think you will be very impressed with how it shaves. It's become one of my favorite razors. Let us know what you think.

Thank you, Jerry. I will. One reason I ordered the razor was on your recommendation. I am sure I will be impressed with the razor, as you say. I should have it in the next day or so.

Hey Guy's, Me to. It shipped on the 15th. should have it early next week I would think. Yep thanks Jerry for the heads up. I'll let you guy's know when it arrives.

Guys, I'm on my 4/5 Head shave with the "Standard Razor" using a Personna blade, feels like velvet - and I think I noted before that it's a very noisy razor.
Light weight, handles very well, but if you get a little to cocky it'll still bite you, but just a little. I'll chalk that up to the light weight of the razor, I start zipping around my head and forget it's still a DE not a Cartridge

Gentlemen,
I shaved with mine today. The light weight was no problem, and when wet, the razor provided a good grip. This is a superb razor, but I find it a wee bit aggressive for me. I put it up for sale on another site. Perhaps someone else would enjoy more than I.

Obie, No why! That's to bad. Maybe give it a couple Shaves. Still waiting for mine. Shipped out Wednesday. How long did you wait for yours?
