The brass Razorine you sold me last year has become one of my favorites! I enjoy using a straight razor but with how my beard grows I can't get as close on my neck or shave as quickly as with a DE. The Razorine provides a unique solution. I love engaging both right and left hand shaving. Looking forward to trying the "improved" Razorine... not just another humdrum safety razor.

That design reminds me of the first electric drills which were shaped like a bit-and-brace. They worked OK, but mainly they were a shape workers were familiar with. The gun-shaped drill is a better design, and once that came out the old type was pretty much relegated to antique stores. One advantage though is that if you're camping or traveling and want your luggage to be super-compact, the razorine takes up less space than a modern DE razor because it's flat.

This razor looks pretty cool. If I'm a guy who's been shaving with a Merkur 34C (I believe I saw a review you did on it before I bought it, could be wrong) for 4 or 5 years, and looking to spice up the shaving game a little, do you think it would be difficult to pick something like this up? What's the margin for error like on this? I seldom knick or irritate my skin anymore with my 34C (have to be pretty reckless at this point, otherwise it's a quick process), but I am interested in picking one of these up. Probably a brush as well, mines clearly not dense at all compared to the ones you use. Yours make mine look like it's balding.

I got one of the new ones. Any hints for using it to shave a head. I got a few nicks (I’m sure it’s me) using a voshtok blade. There seems to be a wide angle where it is shaving. On the face it looks like you have it angled quite a bit. Just playing with hair on my arm it seems to shave fairly flat. Thoughts on the unseen portions of a head? I didn’t nick the front only what I was shaving by feel on.

Very nice Geo, I’d heard from someone who knows Gianni that there was a new version coming out. It was interesting to see where you were holding it on the handle, I can’t hold the original one there and have it feel balanced. I did a comparison shave video a few weeks ago between the Turkish Zazor and the original Razorine, and the new version seems to have addressed minor criticisms I had with regards to length, weight and balance. A couple of questions if you don’t mind. How far has the balance point moved down the handle? Has Gianni made any changes to the head of the razor? I know loading the original isn’t always as easy as you made this one look. Thank you in advance.
@geofatboy4 жыл бұрын
Hi Dave, I think the new premium version has corrected the few flaws that the original razor had. The handle thickness and grooves allow you to grip it anywhere along the handle easily now. The blade dropped in and seated evenly the first time out of the box.

Believe it or it's the only set of blades i can use to have a close shave with zero nicks or irritations. Nevertheless i would love to be able to use a traditional razor...can you give me an advice on a decent safety razor i can get and what blades to use so that i can have another go at it?? is there a combination that is ideal for people like me that need to learn the ABC?? Thank you and keep up the good works....

viskios Maybe try a less aggressive razor? I like the gentleness of the Merkur Futur adjustable on the lowest setting. I use it with Feather blades. Very sharp so use no pressure.

In particular I shave with the Daune shavette, that has the very same head. I suppose in the razorine there is a larger gap between the razor and the blade. Maybe I just have to work on the angle, as I am probably used to the very similar razor head of the Daune shavette. P.S. I am using the old version. And indeed it could also be about the handle
