VIKINGS BLADE The Vulcan Safety Razor + Swedish Platinum Super Blades + Carry Case

Wonderful and smooth delivery experience by TheGlobalGenie team. I got quick response on delivery related queries I had whenever I enquired until the package was delivered. Now my only concern is about the Product Genuinity and how to validate that. While everything looks genuine but there were some reviews in Amazon which made me think otherwise but other than that, I AM TOTALLY DELIGHTED. THANKS

Received this razor this week.It is a nice looking and well finished razor,has a good weight. Blades it comes with are too mild for me so after a couple of times I tried ied with an Astro blade this worked a lot better.The razor is very mild so anyone just starting to use single blade razors this is an ideal starter.For more experience it is still a great good looking razor but needs a more aggressive blade. I would suggest to the people at Viking that instead of 5 mild Viking blades that they replace a couple with their more aggressive blades.

After decades of using those idiotic disposable plastic razor blades I went on a search for the O.G. I had used my grandfather's old safety razor 58 years ago. Unfortunately my father "told me how to use it". His useless tutelage led to cuts and blood and anger and frustration. As usual. So I gave up on that razor, but I should have given up on him and kept the razor. But, young and foolish. Ah well. Anyway after decades of messing with various types of razors I ended up in disposable plastic razor hell. Years of irritated skin, beard hair clogged between the 2 to 5 blades in these ridiculous razors and the anger and frustration arose again. Maybe, just maybe the O.G. safety razor WAS the best razor but I never had the advice or patience to get to know it. As the proud owner of this Viking Razor ( I know, right ?) Proud to own a razor? YES, actually and very very pleased, too ! It turns out the old school razor is the best of all razors. BUT that doesn't mean I recommend searching antique stores, because improvements have been made and Viking Razors and Razor Blades are those improved versions you will be proud and pleased to own. No more throwing plastic razor blades into our landfills, no more ridiculous clogging of multibade plastic junk razors with unremovable beard hairs, no more irritated skin and multiple passes with a junk razor trying to get an "okay" shave. Viking delivers. Sturdy construction, easy to use, good heft and a rust free gleaming finish. You'll get great close shaves and never clogs that you can't remove. If beard hairs collect, they are quickly flushed away under a stream of water. I love this thing and for the first time in 58 years I do not hate to shave !

The Chieftain is a solid beautiful razor that is made of quality materials and has been engineered for perfection. I waited to provide my review until I got a few shaves under my belt to provide a better assessment of the performance of this razor. I will brake my review into sub-parts to discuss the different aspects of the razor itself and it's performance. Build quality: 5 stars The Chieftain Odin Edition is a quality safety razor. It is hearty but not crazy heavy with a great balance to it. The butterfly doors operate smoothly and the blade slides in and is ready to go immediately. One of the best things about the razor is that it completely covers the blade unlike any other razor I have used before. This is a great aspect of the razor as it allows you to hold the sides of the razor comfortably and there is minimal chance of being cut accidentally and it helps avoid nicking the ear lobe. The big consideration with the Odin model is the rose gold plating. I think it look great but it does require more maintenance to maintain the look. Ultimately you just have to clean the razor well with water after the shave and dry it off. This is stated in there description as well as all literature that comes with the razor. In the end this would not change the shave you get just the look of the razor if you don't follow the directions. Packaging: 5 stars The packaging is slick and feels very high class. You can find a lot of similar looking razors on the market and there is a lot of miss information about Viking Blade out there but if you buy from them you are getting the real deal. Besides what I said under the build quality the packaging is some of the best. It comes in a magnetic latch box with a mirror and plenty of space to store extra blades for when you need to travel. The higher price of the Vikings Blade makes more sense when you see the care and dedication they put into their product. The Shave: 5 stars I have shaved with the Chieftain several times now and all I can say is wow! My initial shave came after being away from safety razors for a bit and I will admit it was not the best shave ever. While discouraging I felt I really needed to get more practice in before I could fully blame the razor. Sure enough the next shave was a completely different experience. Using Gillette Silver Blues I did a two pass shave with CRSW shaving soap. The big key is of course no pressure and keeping your angle. This is where I failed during my first shave as I felt like I could not get the angle correctly to actually get the blade to cut. As a result it was either doing nothing or a little too much if you get my drift. The second shave I was more focused in and once I found the angle it was not lost again. The shave was smooth and relaxing with practically no irritation at all. After one pass I had substantial beard reduction but needed a second pass to really get smooth. What was left was a couple of spot clean ups as I have some weird growth areas on my neck but it got them all. I have never been able to get a full bbs shave but this got me as close as I ever have. The Chieftain is a bit more on the mild side so my silver blues work nicely as they get toned down a bit vs when they are in my Gillette Old Type. As a beginner I would highly recommend the Chieftain but would maybe get the chrome one to avoid the extra care needed to maintain the razor. Once you get good you could always "upgrade" to it and continue to get the great shave the Chieftain provides. This is a quality razor that I would highly recommend for those looking for a new daily driver or to get out of using your 5 bladed ingrown hair maker razors. With some nice shave soap or cream this will give you a dream shave and leave your skin happy and healthy.

This is a great starter kit, I really like the handle. The blades themselves aren't great but it says in the kit that they're intentionally mild so beginners don't end up with too many cuts. I think the carry case is meant to be the green box. That thing isn't really useful as a travel/carry case -- way too big and it doesn't actually stay closed. Doesn't really bother me since I don't intend to travel with this razor, but good to keep in mind.
