Looking for a quite razor that does not have a lot of vibration-does this qualify?

It qualifies to me. I love the razor. There isn't much vibration. I had to change the foil once and blades. The first one irritated my skin. The 2nd was better quality and I'm rating it satisfactory.

Hi George,This particular model range tends to be a bit noisy with a high amount of vibration.

No, not like a true razor. I think it can get very close but not skin smooth. It is a great clipper. I highly recommend it.

It seems many like Shark, but at least for my DE razor they are my least favorite. Lord is a brand I like a lot better and it comes in half blades also. I normally shave with Feather, but my other favorites, not sure if they com in halves, are Gillette Goal. My point is just that if you haven't tried Lord, I think you should, then come tell me what you think. :) Maybe this is different for a single edge razor though.

This is a mild razor. Very good if you're new to DE razors. The R41 is an example of an aggressive model in the Muhle line.

The Edwin Jagger De89 is well balanced. I find it just aggressive enough and it works great on my course thick hair with feather blades.The Merkur Progress is adjustable and able to be more or less aggressive than this razor.Hopes this helps!

A bit late, but I like Dovo razors myself. 5/8 or 6/8 is pretty comfortable starting. I would look for a shave ready straight razor. A filly strop is nice to start with and works very well. May hove to google that one.

I suppose one might consider it noisy. In the scheme of things, you may find sound to be your least problematic symptoms. I've tried a number of brands only to be disappointed. I do not want to change blades/covers/trimmers. Longevity is what i seek.

The razor works well and i believe is stainless. If you are sensitive to stainless steel then you are probaby sensitive but I doubt it. The grip, however, is a bit of a problem for me because it is very slippery especially when wet.

Nope, I have no complain about this razor. May look cheap but it's actually not.

It's the best razor I've had, close shave. I would think it would work well .

Absolutely!! A few years past I purchased my then 16 year old son a Remington triple-head razor and while it was so so, this razor is so much more gentle to the face. I just bought this version for me. I love it so much that I'm not buying one for my now 18 year old son to replace his Remington model I bought him just 2 years ago. Besides for fifty bucks it's a pretty fair price. Young men would do well to start out with this version of razor..

It has good weight so that it doesn't have to be pushed or dragged against the skin. Gives a good shave with the right blade. Well made, feels good and steady in the hand.

I'd say medium to aggressive (Feather blades, not very heavy beard). I'd say save a few bucks and go with a Merkur 33C (I use one of those on my head) or splurge for what, in my opinion, is an awesome razor - Feather AS-D2 (super mild).

Yes. This safety razor is a great deal. I've been using it for 1+ year and it still looks brand new. It gives a good shave, cleans easily, and the blades are inexpensive and high quality. The Merkur is a great first safety razor. I will never go back to disposable or multi-blade razors. Make sure he also has a good shaving soap/cream; not the standard foam in a can.

I have one. No it doesn't have moving blades. It works fine though with just the vibration. Love mine!

It has a somewhat medium buzz sound not real loud. It is the perfect shaver for traveling. I took this shaver to Eastern Europe on a 16 day tour and it performed great giving me a close shave every time. I did clean it each time after using it so as to keep it from clogging up. I don't have a real heavy beard which could cause problems for those who do. Hope this helps.
