Putali | Premium Double Edge Safety Razor With Ergonomic Grip For Men or Women | No Slip Pakkawood Handle | Harlequin (Multi-Colored)

I'm really thrilled with this razor. I can't speak to how it works for men's shaving needs, but as a replacement for overpriced, cheaply made, constantly-clogging and poor-performing women's razors, this thing is so far phenomenal. I'd long since gotten fed up with the cartridge racket, and for a while now have been using ordinary disposables because, if I'm going to get a lousy shave anyway, I might as well pay less for it. The recommendation to try a safety razor has turned out to be quite the game-changer.First off: it looks fantastic. The lined wooden box is a nice touch, and feels sturdy. The razor itself has a great weight and feel, and the handle truly is non-slip, including while wet. The pieces fit flawlessly, and loading up the blade is a breeze. (I've paired mine with Astra Superior Platinum blades).As for the most important part: my very first try with this thing resulted in the closest shave I've had in years - maybe ever. I really expected more of a learning curve! (Do read some instructions though, if you're new to this type like I was. There's no need to put any extra pressure on the razor: its own weight does the job beautifully.) The length is pretty close to my old disposables, which made the transition that much easier. The results are everything I'd hoped: a better, longer-lasting shave with zero irritation, from a razor that's both a pleasure to use, and looks fantastic. Goodbye, chintzy plastic!At this point the one place I see room for improvement is the finish on the box: it isn't painted on all that well and had an odd cloudiness around the logo, taking away just a bit from the first impression, but I did manage to polish that away (see photos). That's pretty minor, though. The razor itself is art. I've ordered two more for gifts, and if the recipients like them as much as I do, they should be quite a hit.

I started using a DE razor about a year ago when I was tired of paying ridiculous amounts of money on 3 and 4 blade cartridges that always caused razor burn no matter what the marketing said. So I switched to a DE safety blade with a standard metal handle and butterfly closure. I was very happy with the switch, but the handle was less ergonomic than I would have liked. Also, the butterfly closure was opened by spinning a screw at the bottom of the handle, which I found to be occasionally problematic when trying to shave and my hand would rest on this screw and sometimes loosen the closure.So I started looking for other options and came across this. I love the ergonomic design which is comfortable to hold and since it is made of wood, it does not get as slick in the shower as metal. The color is beautiful too. Having read some other reviews, I decided to rub a little coconut oil into the wood and let it sit for about a day before using, to try to protect the color and the wood from moisture and I plan on doing this occasionally as a preventative measure.I have only been using it for about a week, but I am very pleased so far and will update in the future with how well this holds up.

I started using double edge razors about 3 years ago as a way to save money. I bought my fiancé this since her butterfly DE broke. I definitely recommend putting a few coats of wood seal on this before using. There are a few reviews saying that the wood dries out & starts to splinter after a few uses. My fiancé loves this razor. It's different from the normal metal handle & we'll always be able to tell them apart. I recommend everyone get one of these DE razors. It saves so much money in the long run.

I had a Merkur before this and broke it and thought maybe I could get away with a cheaper razor but I miss the merkur. I rarely ever cut myself shaving until I got this and now I leave bloody trails everywhere out of the shower idk what it is about it. If you’re looking to try out safety razors this is cute and works fine but honestly just spend the money and get a Merkur or Edwin Jagger or Parker or something. If you are nice to it it should last you forever but I dropped mine and it landed on just the perfect angle to break the thread off so that’s my bad. For context I’m a female and I use a safety razor to shave EVERYTHING so it can be done- way cheaper and better for the environment

I was so excited when I received this for Christmas I used it for 10 days.ProsThe head was a muhle r89 with a cool handle.It gave a great Baby Butt Smooth shaveWell balancedConsWood dried outStarted to splinterColors bled togetherSoap used was col conk bay rumMaybe it is a one off however I had my wife return it and I am back to using my merkur progress.

I’ve been using this razor for over a month now, so I feel I can properly review it now. I love this razor. I bought it to improve my sustainability by cutting out plastic disposable razors and I can honestly say I’m never going back to disposables. There was definitely a learning curve and I nicked myself time and time again, but I have gotten better at it over time. Don’t apply pressure, let the razor glide along on its own and it will get every hair. I purchased a sample pack of blades to try and it is gonna last me awhile.You can see the color on the handle has faded. I did not apply oils or anything to the handle, so this is natural fading from use. After every use I dried the razor and placed it back in its case to be stored in a dry room, so it was well taken care of.Overall I would recommend this razor, even for beginners!

I read all reviews before using this razor. I did use a wood waterproof varnish on it 1st so colors won’t fade. Small strokes are a must and don’t press down too hard. It gave me the closest shave I’ve ever had in my life. Very smooth legs. I do recommend using witch hazel after to avoid razor burn. Take it apart after rinsing off, dry it and put it back in the box, don’t keep it in the shower. A bit of maintenance but think of how much less plastic waste this helps with!8/7/18
