Can anyone here give me some dimensions of this DE safety razor? Most of these DE safety razors are good. Just depends on what blades you use in them.

Whatever the dimensions I sent mine back and got the $30 version that has a solid top and is much heavier. The "wings" didn't close evenly, exposing too much blade and I cut myself.

Mine arrived broken . Bought a better one this is shipped poorly and made even worse

It isn't much smaller than a regular razor in length maybe a inch shorter than a Gillette bald width is universal hand and I recommend derby blades

Hi,The things that must be determined for this razor is your beard. My beard is of medium texture, not heavy, not light. I have found this razor to be the right combination for me. I also find it works best when my beard is short. It seems to have a bit of difficult with longer hairs. I have had this razor for over a year and a half and am very pleased with it performance.Hope this helps.

It seems to be designed to fit most standard razors such as the Mach 3 and similar razors. Some may not work if their handles are any thicker than a Mach 3 fusion. The main problem with this model is that the angle the razor sits at when in the handle makes it nearly impossible to shave correctly. I would recommend just taping a second razor to a dowel. It would be more effective and cost less. Just my suggestion.

No, these are old-school for safety razors. You may want to purchase a safety razor and make the switch. The blades are cheap enough to allow you to change every week and the shave, believe it or not, is much closer! People have forgotten about these ever since the double edge first came out. My dad used a safety razor so I thought I'd check one out since razor blades are so expensive and you end up using them until they're ripping the hair out of your face due to the cost. I purchased a Merkur Model 180 and I love it. I won't go back to a multi-blade razor.

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 razor is very nice for fit and finish quality. I actually ordered it as my first de razor, but found it a bit too short with the handle length the whole razor barely covered the palm of my hand. I actually ordered and use to this day the Merkur HD I liked the barber pole handle length and weight. I prefer the closed comb and recommend you check into the differences in closed and open comb before ordering a razor.

I can't answer this specific question. I never tried it with any other razor.

It is designed specifically for safety razors. Art of Shaving razors wouldn't fit

Not sure which razor you're referring to but I use Gillette Fusion (5 blades) and it fits just fine.

I use a Merker Single Knurl Safety Razor... These blades typically fit a standard sized Safety Razor aka DE Razor handle.

I don't know if there is a better razor then the Gillette DE Safety razor. But this razor has a good weight and operates smoothly. It definitely worth the money.

this is really the best razor i have ever purchased! I would never go back to safety razors. Blades last about 5 weeks.

I've ordered 2 similar razors from Amazon, so I'm not 100 % sure which one I'm answering about!But if you prefer a long-handled razor, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Misaki. It's very well madeand def. has a long handle. Still balances very well, and workmanship is outstanding. Usually goesfor around 15 bucks.

I wouldnt trade my gillette fusion proglide power razor for a DE razor. My face has never felt so smooth after i have shaved with it and other razors have never made my face feel so smooth like this blade does. I wouldnt trade that for the world. Plus one blade cartridge last me a whole month so 4 months of smooth shaving ill take it

The handle is not short. Its a medium length DE razor handle. Its longer than the Merkur 34C and shorter than the Merkur 23C. In circumstances that cause this handle to be slippery I think you'll find that any other razor handle will also be slippery. I don't find this razor handle more slippery than any other type of chrome plated razor handle. What this razor has is probably the best "curb appeal" of any razor you'll probably ever see. It will make you feel like the king you were always meant to be.

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.
