The shave is excellent! The quality of your razor is heat and this translates to a quality result when I use it. Recommend it highly.
Excellent quality it came across my feed. I took that chance and I am very pleased
While purchasing my OliWorks razor, I purchased a 100 pack of Filoso blades. I’ve been using DE razors, both vintage and modern, for 15 years & I’ve tried several different blade brands and models. I’ve used 5 or 6 Filoso blades in the past few weeks, and each one has been sharp and smooth. Razor blade feel is very subjective, but I would put these right up there with Gillette Nacet’s, Treet Platinum’s & RK blades. I would say I have an average to course beard and I get 3 good shaves out of the Filoso’s. That’s pretty standard for me with most high-quality blades. There’s only a couple blades I’ve been able to go past 3 shaves with and still get a comfortable shave with minimal tugging. All in all, I feel the Filoso blades are a good value for the price and I’ll continue to use them in my rotation.
I’ve had this razor for around three weeks now and I’ve shaved with it almost exclusively. I’ve been using DE razors, both vintage and modern, for 15 years. This is a very comfortable and efficient razor. I’m a daily shaver and I prefer a mild razor. The #1 plate suits my needs perfectly and gives me a very close and comfortable shave. I feel that this razor would be a good option for someone new to DE’s or an experienced wet-shaver looking to add a nice light-weight aluminum razor to their collection. It’s not an autopilot shave like a Henson and you do need to pay attention to the head angle when shaving. However, it’s very forgiving and should be an easy transition for someone coming from a cartridge razor. The handle/grip on this razor is fantastic! It’s very easy to hold with wet soapy hands and the balance is very nice. The fit and finish is nice and I think it’s a very good value for the price. This razor is now in my regular rotation along with a Rockwell 6S and a Henson AL13 mild. Great job, OliWorks!
This is a well made stainless steel razor that has 3 base plates, each marked with a meteor symbol. One for the mildest and three for the most aggressive. To date I have had 3 shaves with the mildest and 1 with the mid-range plate using Wilkinson and Gillette Platinum blades (2 shaves apiece).
The shaves with the mildest base plate were very smooth and comfortable with no blade feel at all (the way I like it). The razor is very efficient and I was able to remove a 2 day stubble in a pass and a half. The heft of the razor helps in achieving a close shave. One of the shaves was done with the mid-plate - while it was also a close shave with no nicks or cuts,one could feel the blade and I went back to the mildest base plate after that.
The handle is nicely knurled and gives you a good grip at all times. Cleanup was very easy, it being a three piece razor.
All in all,I am very happy with this razor - it is comparable to some of the top names in the business and I will be putting this into my regular rotation of razors that I use.
Gorgeous razor for BBS shaves! First time to use an aluminum razor (I'm used to heavier razors like stainless steel, brass, zinc alloy). Even if the M3terorite is lighter, the familiar head shape and built-in easy-to-find 20° shave angle make for an intuitive shave, but you do have to apply some steady but gentle pressure to properly engage the blade (especially with the Mild plate). I've only tried the Mild and Medium plates -- I find that the Mild plate has ample efficiency for BBS (standard three passes) without the blade feel and perceived chatter on the Medium plate (which has a larger blade gap and blade exposure that's better for thicker/longer growth). I really like the metallic olive drab color. The machined handle offers a secure grip, even with soapy/wet fingers. I love the presentation box -- it gives a somewhat old world feel to the entire unboxing, while also providing secure storage at home or on trips. I did get a minor weeper on the philtrum of my upper lip (always a challenging spot for me), but other than that, it's a smooth, gentle yet efficient shave overall. Took about 2 weeks to arrive in the Philippines. Three plates for adaptability to get that BBS shave, fantastic finish & color, and awesome presentation -- great value for the price! 👍🏼
Very nice razor machine work looks great very nicely made.
I have tried all 3 plates and very surprised how little blade feel there is and the numbers on paper made me think I would only be able to use the mild plate but I am able to use all the plates with no problems.
Just not sure if the mild or medium plate is my favorite.
Thanks for making a great razor.

I love this razor. It feels substantial, yet is easy to work with - even over the contours of my skull when shaving my head. I'm also able to shave more frequently than with my old multi-blade razor.
Great quality of machinery, great design, awesome packaging. I’m glad I ordered the full set of plates. My skin is still getting used to the mild plate and it may still take me a few more shaves to upgrade to the medium.
Perfect size and strong construction. Great design. Takes up minimal space but handles everything.
It is a fine sturdy razor, that looks like it will probably outlast me. It gets whiskers off in the first pass. I bought it because certain parts of my face are more sensitive than the rest of my face, so I use this Aluminum with the number one Plate for those areas, and I use my Stainless steel Red one, with either the number 2 or 3 plate for the rest of my face. I am extremely pleased with both of these razors. They are very well designed and quick to get used to. Using short careful strokes I haven't gotten a nick from either model using any any of the plates. I look forward to my shaving experiences, instead of dreading it. Keep up the good work!
Greatest razor and brush combo ever! Razor is top quality and brush is built like a tank but surprisingly soft. Perfect for a beginner or veteran shaver. I put all of my other equipment away and now this is all I need. Will be ordering bowl and badger brush to complete the collection.
Awesome razor the company defo delivered the razor is something else and coming from the uk the postage was quite fast
Magnífica , tres niveles agresividad buen escalonados , bien construida , barata ,esla segunda que compro porqué regale la primera , pensado en comprarme la versión en acero
I’ve been an old school shaver for the last 15+ years and have owned several double edge safety razors during that time. This one ranks right at the top! I love the versatility and options built into this razor. The razor stand is very cool. The silvertip badger brush is also among the very finest I’ve ever used. Great products!!!
Hello.Thank you very much for your hard work.I ordered a razor from Russia.I have a special feature, sensitive skin.And your razor helped me feel all the delights of a classic wet shave.I especially liked the Mild and Medium plates.I use different blades-Personna,Gillette, Russian Ladas.Of course, I will also contact you and advise my friends.
the razor and accessories are pieces of art! I have a collection of DE safety razors, some of them much more expensive but m3teorite became easy one of my favorites. Looking forward to get me a stainless steel one! Thanks to Your Family for the great job.
Bought the Meteorite in blue. Love the design and the colour. I like the fact you get three plates to adjust the aggressiveness of the shave. Feels light in the hand, though heavier than expected. My usual razor is an Edwin Jagger DE89L, which I love, but this has now become my favourite razor. First shave was with the medium plate and the provided Filoso blade on 1 week of growth and it took it off without any problems - no tugging or anything, just a clean shave. Two passes gave me the smoothest shave that I can remember. My neck is particularly sensitive, but only a little burn afterwards with this razor, which is a big improvement over other razors I've used. Really happy with the razor.
After 10 shaves I can honestly say all your claims are true. I thought my Mercury 34C would be my last razor, but your razor beats it no contest. Not one nick, even using a Feather blade. I highly recommend your razor.
