Is the Razor A2 or A3 worth the extra money then just the Razor A? This is for my 5 and 8 year old sons for fun on the sidewalk.

All I can say is that we have had both and my 9 year old loves the A3. Both are fine, but if you can afford the extra $$ go with the A3.

I am not sure of the exact differences but our boys wanted the wheelie bar above the back wheel. We also chose the more expensive one because we wanted the higher weight limit for it to last longer into their teens. Hope this helps!

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'm looking into getting this one with the 2 wheels in the BACK instead of the 2 wheels in the front like the Radio Flyer. We had a Radio Flyer one and I threw it in the garbage. It was impossible to steer so since the scooter wouldn't steer my children would lean into a turn causing the stupid thing to turn over. Every time! I had a 7, 5 and 2 year old all get hurt on the Radio Flyer one. My older kids love the regular razor so looking into this one for my 2 year old

Unless you are a collector, only buy the Feather. If I had bought it first instead of last, I could have used it by itself and avoided all the other razors. The biggest mistakes were the Muhle 41 and the Ikon DLC slant. There is nothing like the Feather, except possibly the Pils.

As others pointed out the only difference is the handle. I have not found the smooth handle to be a problem; in fact it is in my rotation this week. If you are concerned this might be a problem then get one of the models that does not have the smooth handle. The DE 89 series is a great razor.

I have this razor as well as a Gillette Fatboy. This razor is quite a bit milder than the Fatboy, even with the Fatboy set to "1". I really enjoy my Parker, and feel its at least as good as my Fatboy. Its also a mild razor, so it'll give you the option of re-learning this method of shaving, and then purchasing a vintage when you get back into the groove. :-)

This is a very important question as it relates to worth of this razor. The best I can answer you is that it certainly does as good as multi-blade razors and if you prep correctly it does a much better job.

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..

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'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

My son is 8 and it perfect for our bumpy backyard . Easy to handle like the regular razor. Bar does not telescope up or fold down, I see that as a plus , less to break

I started using one in October 2014. It's February 2016, and I'm getting ready to switch to the second one. Like any razor, these will be super smooth at first, then go through a break-in period after a week or so. If you can put up with being careful with it for a couple of weeks, it becomes smooth again. More pressure required than a new blade, but you won't cut yourself like when it was three weeks old. I generally get 12 to 24 months out of one. Saves lots of money.

Good evening Mr. Mitchell - This razor is considered more toward the mild side vs the aggressive side. Hope this helps!

I have had mine for over three years and I have been perfectly happy with it. I have very thick and dense facial hair and shave with this razor twice a day. The manufacturer reccomends changing the cutting head assembly ($22.00) every six months, but I got 30 months from the original set, and see no reason that I will not get another 30 months from the replacement set I am currently using. The batteries still hold a charge well (I charge it about once every three weeks, using it twice a day). When I bought this razor I paid less for it than the cost of a replacement cutter head assembly for my previous razor ($30.00 for that assembly), however I see that the current cost for this razor is nearly twice what I paid for it, so that is something to consider. I am happy when any razor lasts five years (I have had some for one year and others for eight) I am sure this one will give me at least five, maybe more. When you read the reviews, "consider the source." In other words, if you read a review and can relate to the type of frustration/the person, then consider their comments (good or bad) to carry more weight then others.

I definitely think so. It is smaller and geared toward a younger child. I got this for our 2 1/2 year old and it's perfect for her. We got a razor for our 5 year old and it's great for him.

It definitely looks like a big kid toy. My four year old has no problem keeping up with his two older brothers and the older ones even like riding it from time to time. Also, I think it's held up better than the Razors my older ones have. the one thing that broke on it they were great about sending me a replacement part and extra strong glue, no questions and no charge. If you do get him one, I would recommend getting him a maxi and not the mini.
