Overview
A slim double edge head with mild blade exposure does the cutting here, mounted on a long machined aluminum handle. The extra reach helps larger hands and awkward areas, and a starter pack of blades comes in the box.
Mild exposure makes it forgiving as a first safety razor, and the longer handle moves the balance point for wide grips. Aluminum is light, so shavers used to a heavy steel razor doing the pressing will need a steadier hand.
Who it's for
Men and women switching from cartridges to a classic double edge setup get a mild head and enough blades to start right away. Shavers who like a compact, short grip should look at the standard AeroShave instead.
Pros and cons
- Mild exposure lowers the risk of nicks
- Long handle adds reach and grip
- Starter blades included
- Light aluminum handle
- Light handle adds little shaving pressure
- Mild head may feel slow on thick stubble
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Blade exposure and head angle govern closeness here, and the mild setting limits how deep the edge bites on each pass. The aluminum handle is light, so pressure comes from the hand rather than the razor weight. Shave quality then rests on blade choice, lather and holding a shallow angle.
