Is this a so called "butterfly" razor?

Hi Marco, The answer is no: A butterfly razor will open fro the top and spread while this razor is a kind of twist off the top and load the razor from underneath. This works well for me, and I hope works well for you. I really enjoy shaving with this razor, ENJOY, Bill

No, this is a 3-piece razor. The handle unscrews from the head, which then separates into the two pieces that secure the blade. It's a very secure design for holding the blade firmly, and only takes a few seconds to change.

The Apollo website says they have a lifetime guarantee. I own this razor and, if you want my advice, pay a bit more and get a Merkur Double-Edge Razor SV-05X. - I will say that the Apollo razor has a very nice handle, though.

I am sorry that I don't know. I use a Norelco now so I can't even look at my old razor. Again, sorry.

no as it is a trimmer, not a razor. I have a razor and trimmer and use them based on what I need to do.

No, it's just a piece of glass with a guide/guard. BTW, it works well for me extending razor life about 3 times.

To be honest Nick, I am not sure what you mean. I am new to safety razor shaving. When I get home tonight I will upload a photo for you.

No, it's not a slant! That part of the description is not accurate; perhaps a bad translation from Japanese? It does not have a "Twist Off Opening Head" either; that's also inaccurate. It's a non-slant, closed comb, stainless steel three-piece razor. It shaves very closely, and is indeed "aggressive." It's very well made, and a great buy for a stainless steel razor -- the stainless handle alone is well worth the price of the whole razor!

Hey Brian, this is a beautiful 3 piece razor. You won't regret it if you buy one!

I have one of these and mine is the de86bl, I think the de89 have the chrome handels series. I love the easy way it shaves, great for the beginners.

Yes it is the Merkur HD 34C. Amazon had the best price and it is my go to razor when I need a quick shave. It is very forgiving. When I have the time, I use one of my vintage razors.

The razor pictured has a 3-piece, vs the butterfly twist to open of the Razorock Jaws razor. I have both, a butterfly and a 3-piece, Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl. Razors are aggressive to gentle, and what you require or prefer will depend on your skin, whisker toughness, lather and blade. The best you can do is try a few and see what you are happiest with. Aggressiveness depends on how much blade is exposed after closing the razor or tightening the head. Also, the blade As much as I'd like to tell folks I have a barbed wire beard, the reality is I prefer my Edwin Jagger's more gently configuration. A good Q & A can be found at the Badger and Blade website. Good luck.

Don't buy this razor - I returned mine. This is the EXACT same razor as the Edwin Jagger de89 - $36 - $40.The only difference is the little logo on the head.

Yes it is, sorry about the delayed response. I will sell it to you for $28 shipped to you. It was used 10 times to allow my face to adapt to the new razor, but honestly I can lather up and shave with a blade faster. I shave every other day because of sensitive skin, so it may work better daily. Good luck with your search.

I apologize for just now getting to the answer...but yes it is like the gillette blades. There is an area where you put the old one under neath the new ones.

You are right , this particular razor is made of zinc alloy(the head) and not brass. We made a mistake in the earlier post as we confused with our other razor that will come out shortly, sorry for any confusion.

No, I have both razors and it is a totally different mechanism on each one and they are not interchangeable.Sorry,
