Razorine FLATBOY Safety Razor

Unusual razor design but very comfortable and intuitive to use. Brass head very tactile, quickly patinates and holds a DE blade easily. My recommendation is for an Astra blade for a comfortable shave.

Let me first say this review is nothing against Shave Nation have had nothing but the best service. My concern is for future buyers of this razor, received mine today. After inspecting the handle I found the finish could be better, very sharp edges, small pieces of medal coming off. I hope this is the only one like this would hate for someone to get injured.
In closing my advice to future buyers of this razor #21970 be careful.

A defect in the design of the head causes the blade to bow once the handle has been affixed to it. Also, the handle needs it's grip pattern raised--not flush with the rest of the handle's cylinder--to improve the grip once the handle becomes wet. In addition, once the blade has been installed, the rectangular area where the blade's edge is shown needs 3 supporting segments to keep the blade secure (no bending) during use. And, finally,...

This shaver, in my opinion, is for people with either thick/rough skin or for anyone who wishes to have a separate shaver just for their sideburns. For everyone else, use the Rockwell 6S.

Oh, and instead of shaving cream, I use shaving oil that I make myself. It dries at a much slower rate than shaving cream and you need less water to remedy the situation to bring you back to shaving again.

I love this razor. With a Feather blade 2 passes works great. Good weight and balance. This has become my go-to razor.

Shave Nation is very easy to work with when making any purchases. Their web pages are very self-explanatory. I had no trouble placing my order and it was shipped promptly. I have done business with them in the past and found it an enjoyable experience.
