I don’t know what it’s called in English, but it’s amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌

Edit: you obviously don’t have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣

    I have a question. Have you tried shaving your pubic regions with it? Personally, it’s still my favorite tool for that job too, if I want it cleanly shaven. Yeah, you have to be careful, but I feel like it still handles the job better than anything else. I think a lot of people refuse to try because it seems intimidating, but it’s not that bad.

    However, make sure you understand the technique first obviously. It’s the same idea as on your face, or anywhere else. You have to keep the skin tight while shaving it, and make sure you never move laterally. The biggest difference is it’s hard to see and obviously the skin is much looser, so you need to make sure to pull everything tight as you make a pass.

          In case OP doesn’t get back to you, I’ve never actually seen anyone have issues with it once they actually do it. You see a lot of people refuse to do it, because it’s intimidating, but every person I’ve seen with experience says that it’s fine, if not great.

          If you buy one though, I would not recommend going straight for your pubes. You almost certainly will cut yourself a few times before you’re proficient. You have to learn the technique first. Once you do though it’s far easier, better, cheaper, and I’d say safer than other razors.

            Welk OK, then I guess I’ll just ho for it! Any advice on blade types, since there’s a lot if choices there…

              Honestly, that’s very personal. There’s no good rule on what’s best. The best option is to get a blade sampler and find out what works for you. Someone’s favorite might work horribly for someone else. I think my favorite has been Gillette Silver Blue, but they were made in Russia and I think they aren’t available anymore, so I’m eventually going to have to go with something else.
