Much better than the stainless version. Two pockets instead of one for the plates makes a lot more sense.
The construction of the razor is of super quality. Immediately after trying the aluminum version, I purchased this steel one. What can I tell you, I'm a razor collector (I own over 50 models), this one in particular is in the top 5 of razors I own. A big Bravo for OliWorks!
I don't have anything to compare these blades to since until now I've never been able to use a double edge razor without slashing my face to bits. But they are really sharp and last 4-5 days for me. I think I could go longer, but the ultra smooth shave I get is worth it.
This is the best razor I have ever used. Started with number 1 base plate, now using number 2. Crazy smooth, no nicks, I love it.
Right out of the box the only problem i had was deciphering which head to use, after that it was a dream to work with. I started on the #1 which is a weird tic mark tgats not easy to spot or understand when its your first time working with these.
It’s a great product that performs well. Very good quality and amazingly light. I only wish I knew it would take so long to get. I didn’t mind the wait, I just wouldn’t have paid for 2 day delivery and none of my emails were answered. But again, great razor I would buy again.
Third head shave with the plate#3, it was the smoothest, comfortable, and efficient double edge razor I have ever used. Initially, I was scared of the specs of the razor's #3 baseplate. But it turns out to be one of the most comfortable razor of my large collection of custom razors. Thank you!
I was on the fence about getting the Henson platinum razor I have all 3 of their mild medium and aggressive aluminum razors they are very good razors. I’m on my third shave with y’all’s razor I’m using a Personna Platinum blade using the number 2 plate and I’ll have to say it is the best DE razor I’ve ever used. In the future my plan is to purchase the titanium version of y’all’s razor. Besides the Henson razors I have a pretty big collection of DE and single edge razors. So I’m comparing y’all’s razor to a lot of other razors I own. I hope y’all stay in business for many decades thanks for making such a great product. Best Regards
Excellent craftmanship and great feel in hand. Nice close shave and love the three different shave heads to adjust the aggressiveness of the shave. Highly recommend.
hefty and beautifully made, a perfect docking station for my lovely, smooth, and efficient razor and baseplates.
Did a head shave yesterday using the razor with plate #2 and astra green blade. it was one of the smoothest efficient razor that I owned. it is beautifully machined and built like a tank. Today. I switched to the plate #3, again, with a comfortable smooth and efficient shave. Love it!
I’m using the mild setting and the long handle and I’m very pleased. The blade angle must be right on. I’ve retired my Merkur 34C. Only regret is not ordering the stainless but the weight of the Aluminum is perfect. Excellent, solid razor made here, at a realistic price.
Extremely pleased with this product. The quality and craftsmanship is excellent and I love that it is made in the USA. Highly recommended!
Great shave and blade feel. Glad it comes with 3 plates - the mildest works best for me.
Awesome razor first time I had zero irritation shave and floso blades are just cherry on top I think I found my go to razor and blades thanks for making this excellent razor
Love the razor.Looks amazing and works even better.Very intuitive shaving angle and so far zero irritation.Ordered for delivery to the U.K. and was kept informed every step of the way.Couldn’t be happier.Many thanks.
100% the best razor I've ever owned, safety or otherwise. Great balance and lightweight yet very sturdy.
I totally love it! The handle is fantastic. The construction is great. I did notice on the top cap one edge is “toothy” and the opposite edge is smooth. Not sure if the machine was slightly out of alignment. The blade-clamping is spot on.I get a smooth shave no matter what blade that I use. I’ve put Feather blades in it with no problems. I would recommend OliWorks to anyone, Newbie or veteran. The presentation box was “out of this world “!!
