Precise, Solid, Smooth!
The Crusader Adjustable Safety Razor by Vikings Blade takes the traditional wet shave to the next level! This is definitely jumping into the deep end of the pool! So make sure you’ve earned your “Traditional Wet Shaving Bona Fides” before dipping your toe in. The Crusader has two unique qualities that make it a cut above all other adjustable razors. First, it has a weight, heft and balance I’ve not seen in other adjustable razors. Even the Merkur Futur is a lightweight compared to the Crusader. The Crusader is the superior razor. Unlike the Futur, the Crusader has maintained the traditional safety razor look and feel. I like that. A lot! Second, the razor head is asymmetrical. Each side gives a different shave. The sculpted comb is a bit more aggressive, while the straight comb is a bit milder. The assymmetrical razor head is a marvelous feature! If you find the sculpted comb works fine on the cheek but, perhaps, may be too aggressive for the neck, simply flip to the straight comb and you get a more mild approach. No need to stop the shave (during a pass) to adjust the settings! I used this method right off the bat and found it to be quite natural and effective. The razor head is also a bit more compact than that on the Vikings Blade Chieftain. Whereas, the Chieftain fully encloses the end tabs of the razor blade, the Crusader leaves these tabs exposed to increase overall maneuverability. The Crusader is VERY maneuverable! And, while I appreciate (and like) having the blade end tabs enclosed within the razor head, I have many new and vintage razors that opt for the exposed end tab design. It’s something that is familiar to me and certainly not a dealbreaker. I understand the reasons for the change. A good decision by Vikings Blade for this razor, in my humble opinion. The adjustment collar does not have a numbering system. Other adjustable razors number the adjustment collar 1-6, etc. So, I was a bit thrown when I saw the absence of numbers. However, I’ve come to understand that, even though an adjustable razor has numbers, I’m really only turning the adjustment knob ⅛ or ¼ from number to number in order to open or close the blade gap and vary the aggressiveness of the razor and shave. When using an adjustable razor that has numbers on the adjustment collar, I set each shaving pass to a specific number. So, for example, my first pass would be 5, my second would be 3, and the third would be 1.5. However, if I set the adjustable razor aside (to shave with another razor in my collection) and come back to it a week or two later, I’ve now forgotten my numbered shave settings. Was my first pass set at 5 or 6? Was the second pass 3.5 or 4? Additionally, the shave will change a bit when a different blade is used. So, using the same numbered routine will not yield the same result as the previous shave. Different blade, different shave. With the numbers removed, I simply turn the collar ¼ or ½ or ⅛, etc. to a level that feels right for the shave. (From full open, first pass, turn the collar ⅛, shave. Second pass, turn the collar ⅛, shave. Third pass, turn the collar ½, shave). And it’s easier to remember this method, than trying to remember a number pattern. Not having numbers frees up the shave. I’m more inclined to try new settings because I’m now focused on the shave and not a number. The adjustment collar is smooth and continuous. The combinations of mild to aggressive shaves are limitless! And there’s no fear of overdoing it. With the asymmetrical razor head, I can take more control of my shave. Again, if the setting is too aggressive, I simply flip the head to the straight comb side for bit milder pass. It’s very much like having a two-stage adjustable razor. Wonderfully, I have yet to have a shave with the Crusader that has been too aggressive or resulted in any irritation. This includes having the razor set at it’s very widest blade gap, full open. The Crusader gives me the smoothest most comfortable and close shave of any razor I own. I’m rather shocked by this discovery, but also delighted. I thought the Vikings Blade Chieftain Safety Razor would never be surpassed. Only the folks at Vikings Blade could manufacture a razor to surpass their best selling Chieftain! The Crusader is the new favorite in my shaving den! A viewer on my YouTube channel, asked, “If you had to pick one razor of yours, which you will have to use for the rest of your life...,which one would you choose?” I deferred my answer thinking this would be a good opportunity to explain my pick in a video. Well, I now have my answer. The Crusader is the razor I would pick, hands down! Great weight and balance, precisely engineered and manufactured from premium materials, the Crusader is solidly built and a solid performer that will easily last a lifetime! Yes, The Crusader is meant for advanced wet shavers. However, my advice is this: buy the Chieftain AND the Crusader. The Chieftain is the perfect razor with which to learn how to do the traditional wet shave. After several months (or a year) of understanding the process (mastering the correct shaving technique, and learning about proper preparation, lathering, etc.), you can then graduate to the Crusader. And since you’ll already own the Crusader, it’ll be in the wings ready to go. The Crusader and the Chieftain are, quite possibly, the only two razors you will ever need!

Vikings Blade EMPEROR AUGUSTUS adjustable DE Razor is AWESOME!!!
The Vikings Blade Emperor AUGUSTUS edition adjustable DE razor, shaves better than it looks! With that said; It looks Awesome!!! For the record; I’m not an employee of Vikings Blade or any affiliate company of theirs, or related to any person that works there. I’m not being payed $$$ for or endorsed by Vikings Blade. This is not a paid promotional advertisement, or a sponsored advertisement, in anyway, shape, or form. This razor was not gifted to me by Vikings blade or any person. I purchased this razor with my own money. I purchased this razor because I wanted to buy my first adjustable DE safety razor. This is also not a paid promotion, in any way shape or form. These are my own thoughts and opinions based on my own personal experience, with this adjustable DE safety razor. With that disclosure said, and out-of-the-way; It’s a gorgeous handsome masculine razor. A very manly razor in my opinion. With a lot of weight and hefty with great balance. I prefer heftier or heavier razors. It seems like they do all the work and you need very little pressure while shaving. I think any man would be proud to own and shave with this razor! I know I am very proud to own and shave with this razor! This razor is also a great value for the money. It’s like owning twelve DE razors all in one. There’s nine adjustment settings that are numbered 1-9. Changing the adjustment settings 1-9 move the safety bar up or down increasing or decreasing the angle of reveal and blade exposure. A helpful hint, make sure you have the adjustment setting on MAX when loading or remove a DE razor blade. The Twist To Open (TTO) doors move with the adjustable safety bars when the TTO doors are opened. Adjustment Settings 1,2,3, are mild aggression levels, or blade angle reveal; these settings would be best for beginning DE wet shavers, or people with thin beards, sensitive skin, or for those people that maybe want to shave every day. Adjustment settings 4, 5, 6, are a medium aggression levels or blade angle reveal; these settings are for more advanced experience DE wet shavers, or for people with less sensitive skin and courser beards, or people who want to shave every other or two or three days between shaves. Adjustment settings 7, 8, 9, and Max are aggressive aggression levels or blade angle reveal; these settings are for very experienced or very advanced DE wet shavers, or for people with very thick and or course beards, or for people who want to shave once a week. It could also be used for people who want to look for a close to straight razor shave, but without the maintenance, stropping, and honing that goes along with a straight razor shaving or expense ($$$) of the straight razor itself, and the accoutrements, and the cost ($$$) of the accoutrements, that are required for straight razor shaving. Also the learning curve that goes with straight razor shaving. It’s not like a straight razor though, by any means! It could also be, for wet shavers like myself, who don’t want to spend the amount of time, like the time required for stropping the straight razor, on the leather and canvas strop, as well as the pre-shave face prep and added products that goes along with a proper straight razor shave. But it’s more aggressive than my Muhle R-41 German made, open comb DE razor, on max setting in my opinion. The Muhle R-41 is a very aggressive razor though. But, it cannot be adjusted. Which can be a problem sometimes on a 3 or 4 pass shave. The Vikings Blade Emperor can be adjusted though; being an adjustable razor, lol. The safety bar also has two sides one smooth, one mildly scalloped not quite an open comb though. This is why I said between the 9 adjustment levels and the two safety bars Sides and the constant flow in between numbers, (There’s a continuous movement of the safety bar between each adjustment number, while adjusting this razor. It’s not like it locks in between each adjustment number) ; it’s like shaving with 12 different razors, in one awesome, handsome, masculine, convenient, well manufactured package! This is my first adjustable DE razor. I have nothing to compare it to, as far as adjustable DE razors go. Except Straight Razors, Single edge razors SE, and other non-adjustable double edge DE razors. I have about 11 shave ready straight razors, 2 Single edge SE razors, and this being my fourth DE razor. I’ve been wet shaving with the DE razors since I was 13 years old. I’m 52 now soon to be 53. I’ve used cartridge razors such as the Gillette track 2, the Gillette Mach 3, and Gillette fusion. As well as electric shavers, when I was a teenager and into my early 20s. I would consider myself to be in an advanced or experienced wet shaver. Vikings Blade Emperor Augustus is definitely a five star razor in many categories. Build construction. Value for the money. Ease-of-use. Adjustability. Performance. Weight, of the razor, I prefer a heavier heftier razor in my opinion. Balance. And let’s not forget the looks and finish of this razor; it’s stunning! This Vikings Blade Emperor AUGUSTUS edition DE razor shaved so smooth, and silky! BSS shave, (Baby Smooth Shave). My first shave with the Emperor Augustus razor; I made four passes, with a relathering after each pass. I had 7 days of beard growth. I used a brand new Feather hi stainless double edge DE Japanese Blade. Yes, I keep track of how shaves or times I’ve used each blade. First pass: With the grain (WTG). Inaugural pass. Settings: 7-8-9. Trial run. Second pass: Cross the grain (XTG). Settings: 6-5-4. Third pass: Against the grain (ATG). Settings: 3-2-1. Fourth pass: Touch up (TU). Setting: 3. I’ve decided that future shaves with this razor, are going to be: (Depending on how many days of beard growth I have). First pass (WTG): 9. Second pass (XTG): 6. Third pass (ATG): 3. Fourth pass (TU): 1. These adjustment numbers on the Emperor Augustus razor, would be adjusted down if I were to decide to shave more often. I highly recommend VIKINGS BLADE Emperor Augustus adjustable DE razor for someone who is looking for the ONE razor that can do it all. Thank you Vikings Blade for such a fantastic, affordable, adjustable DE razor! Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Its decent
It's a decent safety razor. Not great quality but for a beginner it's sufficient. It's pretty. The adjustable dial can act a little wonky at times but is easy to fix. If you can afford a better adjustable razor do it. A Rockwell is nice or find a vintage Gillette Fat Boy. Honestly, the blades you use are more important than the handle. If you like a mild shave go with Derby, Astra if you want something more aggressive. Or Feather. Once you figure out what you like and what youre doing the handle itself is no longer that important

Love the adjustable aggression
I used to use straight razors but never had the time to really get into sharpening my blades so I went to the next best thing, a safety razor. My first was the Edwin Jagger De89lbl and my second razor was a Parker99R. The Emperor Augustus is my third and I really love this thing. I broke my Parker last night and ordered the Emperor immediately and received it this afternoon and had to try it out. Very little face prep, just wiped down my face with a hot towel and used my trusty Dirty Bird scuttle to froth my soap. I love that thing. I misread how the adjustment worked and made it a bit too aggressive but it didn't take long for me to realize my error. I find that opening the butterfly and setting the adjustment and closing it again works best for me. When you're in a hurry and don't have time to properly prep, setting to a milder number is WONDERFUL. As I get more familiar with this instrument I'm sure I'll be making adjustments for different stages of my shave and I really love having that option. I'm sure there are a lot of adjustable safeties out there but this thing is so easy to use and I love the heft of it, too; and the grip is sure. Since I've only had this thing barely a day I may have more to add later, but right now I'm very glad I broke my Parker. It was a great excuse to treat myself with the Augustus. Edit 8/15/2020 It's been over a year since I purchased this blade. I'm even happier now with my Augustus than the day I received it. I'm no shaving expert, but because I'm a straight-razor flunkie I do have a few extra items. I have a scuttle, shaving cup, shaving brush and I use shaving soap. All those things make for a better shaving experience when used properly. 1. I have those really nice Israeli blades but I have some Shark blades and I thought I'd give those a go again because they didn't do as nice a job in my old safeties like my Edwin Jagger. With the Augustus, at least when the blades were new, I noticed no real difference. The Shark's might still dull faster, I'm not sure. I'm still experimenting with that. 2. For the Augustus, being an adjustable razor is its most important and useful feature. I find that if I let my beard grow out too much, placing the Augustus on its most aggressive rating works wonders, and with later passes reduce that aggression to allow for a closer shave. YMMV on that and everyone's beard is different, but that works for me. 3. When inserting the blade, its best to put the blade on it's most aggressive setting, which allows the door to open its widest. Then seat the blade and back off the aggression about 3/4 (around 6 or 7) before closing the blade. This allows the clamshell to close without catching on the blade. 4. I wipe down my Augustus with toilet paper to soak up any water before storing. 5. The workmanship is excellent. I've experienced no issues, and it looks as nice as the day I received it. The blade settings is easy to set and is numbered to help you remember what works for you for any situation. I've not experienced any binding on working parts at all. 6. The feel of this blade in my hand is just right. It's heavy enough that it's weight applies enough pressure to do the work and the handle is grippy and comfortable. 7. I think the craftsmanship on this blade is so good I kept the box it came in and use that to store my blade in my office, away from humid air in the bathroom, because the box and razor looks so nice together. That's just me being weird, I suppose. For item 2, sometimes I have to wipe off my face with a towel and re-apply soap before continuing on my first pass if my beard's gotten away from me (a week's growth) and I've only been able to prep my face with a warm-hot towel for 2 minutes or so. A hot shower does wonders for face prep. I just wanted to let anyone know who might be interested in the Augustus that I found it worthwhile to come back here a year later to relate how happy I am with mine. In case some of you were wondering, if I have such a nice blade why do I let my beard grow out for a week or more? Blame my laziness and working from home so much in today's crazy world. I didn't know this would become a problem, but my Augustus helps me makes up for some of my personal shortcomings.

Excellent Premium Metal Razor
When I realized how much money you save using a safety razor and how you can get a just as good or better shave from a safety razor than a multiblade cartridge razor, I decided to switch. I wanted a safety razor that had a butterfly opening for the blade and was adjustable. This one had a great price. After I ordered it, I looked at the negative reviews where people showed pictures of receiving defective razors with scratches on the shaving head. I almost cancelled the order, but I realized it was a tiny percentage of those who reviewed the razors and most of the reviews were excellent, so I figured I'd see what I get and could always send it back. The razor came in perfect condition without any scratches on it. I got the frosted chrome version, and it looks and feels beautiful. It seems to be extremely well made. It has a nice weight and feels like a premium metal product, especially after using plastic cartridge and disposable razors. And shaving with a safety razor isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. At first it requires being just a little more careful than when using a cartridge razor, but that is because you have more control over the razor. The first time you use it start with the least aggressive setting. Pay attention to the angle and feel of the blade, and shave in short strokes. Don't press the blade to your face. And I didn't go all out with special creams and soaps. I used regular shaving cream from a can, and it worked fine. I like that the razor is adjustable and the shaving head has two different sides, so you can really fine-tune the shave. And I had no problem with the open tabs. I didn't really notice them. Also, it was a pleasant surprise to get a pack of five blades with the razor.

Not Great Alignment
First off, note that Baili razors and Viking's Blade have virtually identical razor designs. Make of that what you will as it's somewhat ambiguous. I.e., one company might have copied the other company's product, or they're just made in the same factory. My guess is that they're made in the same factory, but Viking's Blade only accepts those that they deem the best of the bunch. Who knows? Viking's Blade knows, but they won't tell you where the razor is made on their advertising. Why don't they tell you? Because they don't want you to know. The IMPLICATION on their promotional material is that the razor is made in Australia, but if you read carefully, that's not really what the words imply semantically. I'm definitely NOT saying that Australian-made products are superior to other countries' products, and I'm NOT saying that Asian products are lower quality than western countries' products. I'm also NOT saying that American-made products are high quality either, because often, they're awful. The Jeeps I used to own are a case in point. I'm just noting that Viking's Blade is elusive about telling you straight-up where the product is made and I am curious why. I've been wet shaving for about 12 years with a Merkur. Here's my review of this Viking's Blade product: PROS: Excellent material quality. The metal itself is excellent, as is the coating, but you never know how long that will last. Appearance is awesome! Grip is excellent. Weight is excellent. The box it came in is excellent. CONS: The adjustment ring on mine was spinning freely for a while until I somehow managed to get it to seat and perform as it should. That's not reassuring. Blade alignment is NOT great at all! I used a new Astra. It's very hard to see "razor thin" razor blades' alignment because they're...razor thin! But if you hold it up to the light just right, you can see that at least on my unit, the blade was arced on each blade edge on every numerical setting. That's NOT GOOD. If you tighten the adjusting ring down to "1," it makes the blade warp even more. UNGOOD. Also, the sculpted comb side of the razor had a NARROWER blade gap than the smooth side! That should be the OPPOSITE since the sculpted side is supposed to be more aggressive, not less. Butterfly mechanisms are cool in theory, I've decided, but really a bad idea in practice. More moving parts in a razor is a bad idea because it's supposed to be a precision design; the more hinges and whatnot you have, the more that can be manufactured off by even a fraction of a millimeter, which you will notice when you drag a razor over your face. A simple 3-piece design like on my Merkur is way better because hey, there are ONLY THREE PARTS, no hinges, no springs, no adjustments, no flappy butterfly doors. Every single one of those moving parts and their attachment points must be EXACTLY manufactured or the sum total of the imprecision will be a razor full of incorrect tolerances. If the butterfly door hinge on even one of the four attachment points is higher or lower than the others, the razor is compromised because the blade gap will be uneven. If the pin that holds the door is higher on one side than the other, the blade gap will also be uneven. If one of the doors doesn't close in perfect alignment with the other door, the blade gap will be uneven. With a non-butterfly design, all the factory has to do to make a uniform blade gap is produce two uniform pieces--the baseplate and the top. With a butterfly design, they must make each door identical, each hinge height identical, each pin location identical, etc. There are too many variables. Add in the closing mechanism itself and you have a lot of room for problems. As usual in life, simplicity is nearly always preferable when possible. I'll probably return this unit and get a new 3-piece razor.

Very Smooth buterfly adjustable razor. Best customer service I have seen :D
Have been using the Emperor Augustus razor for 6 months now. I am sharing some of my thoughts. I've started DE shaving 8 months ago. My first razor was a Qshave butterfly. It was a really good mild razor for beginner. After one month of training with the Qshave, I bought this Augustus razor from Vikings Blade. At first, I was somewhat disappointed. The reasons were: 1. The craftsmanship did not seem to match the quality of the razor. I could see the unpolished edge on the butterfly plate. Also, the blade did not align perfectly. Although It did not affect the quality of shaving. 2. The Emperor was different than the Qshave I had. The technique I built up with the Qshave did not work well with this one. I had to relearn again. For a beginner, that was difficult and upsetting. I emailed Vikings Blade with the problems I had. They replied rather quickly (usually within a day or two every time). They explained that the unpolished part of the razor was due to the difficultly of processing bronze. Which was not impossible, but they decided not to do that since it did not effect the function anyway and could keep the cost affordable. They told me the blade alignment was within acceptable parameter and should not affect the shave quality. And for my shaving problem, they were very patient and guided me through my learning process via emails. They asked me to try the razor for some time and would send me another model if It did not work out for me at the end. The customer service is one of the best I have seen. I decided to try the razor for a bit longer and I am glad I did. It works very well for me now and has become my daily razor. If it breaks I might get another one of this model. The reason that it's not 100% is due to the extra cost for delivering/importing the razor to Canada. Which is like $100+ (140CAD+ on amazon.ca x.x) What I think after 6 months of uses: 1. Material The Material used in the razor feels really solid. I intend to use the razor for many years like the old Gillette safety razors. 2. Razor The weight is good, butterfly is very useful and adjustable is very handy. Also the handle grasp really well and it never slips on me. 3. Most important: Shaving The razor is very smooth. It is hard to cut yourself. I am a careless person; I cut myself often with the old plastic disposable razor and the razor burn was really bad. But with this Vikings Blade Emperor, I only cut myself maybe one time in the past 6 months as I remember. I was pressing really hard on the neck area that time. Now that my skill is getting improved, I rarely nick myself bad enough to even see red dot. In worst cases I got light burn which fades away fast after aftershave balm. The razor does have 2 different sides. One is flat and one with teeth bumps. They feel differently when shaving but I am not sure if there is any different in shaving quality. The flat side does feel smoother. 4. Adjustable After testing for many settings, I am now settling on level 3. With my skill improved, I am able to get pretty good shave in 3-4 passes. (4th for the neck area which is very hard to clean). If I spend some more time with better preparation, I can sometimes get BBS. 5. Customer service Best one I have seen. They are very helpful and nice. Without the help from them, the process for a beginner shaver like me would have had hard time getting through the process. They patiently answered all my question about the razor and my other questions related to shaving. Final thought: This razor is very good for those who wants a quality butterfly adjustable. This razor is very smooth and perfect for those who worry about cutting themselves. Vikings Blade is a very good company and it has one of the best customer services around. I am glad I found the razor that I want to settle down in my 2nd try. :)

Better than expected - updated after second razor.
It was better than expected; I just received it today. I only had ASTRA blades, which are Gillete blades made in India. So I set ,the angle to 1", which isitive skin setting. Put a blade in, then tighten the blade into place. The blade setting works best if the butterfly is open and set first. Adjusting the angle while the blade is under pressure isn't very effective. To test the blade set on "1", I dry-shaved my neck and trimmed my beard edges on my face. This was a test to see if I wouldn't cut myself. On a setting of one and dry. I didn't cut myself. I felt a slight burn, but it was very mild. I could not believe the shave. I always had to buy the cheap plastic Gillette twin blade with a lube strip. If not all other razors cut me or the razor burned me badly. This razor is very well made for the price. If you can't fork out the extreme prices, others are demanding. This is the way to go. I can't wait to use the actual blades made for this razor. I wouldn't normally dry shave. But I needed to know if this razor was up to par. And it passed with flying colors. ************************************ Updated review 01/19/202: I have used this model up to setting 5 with the Astra Blades. I use Sensitive Skin Shave Cream by CREMO. I also use a little water to thin it out. I bought the non-adjustable butterfly version by Viking and nicked myself a few times. I have sensitive skin. But this model is very nice. I have never knicked myself with the Emperor Adjustable model. If you adjust the blade. I advise you to open the butterfly and then set the adjustment. Then tighten the butterfly back down. This puts less stress on the mechanics and ensures the blade bends and adjusts. I liked this Emperor Razor so much I bought a spare! Not that I will need it for a very long time. But I wanted to have this same model. I would love this in STAINLESS. I would pay $100 for a stainless version. The design is nice and I get a very close shave. I would love to use the Viking blades but my success with the Astra is so good I might wait. I didn't have Viking blades at first to test with. And since I haven't nicked myself with this unit with the Astra blades. I am reluctant to mess with a good thing. If you are debating buying this. Besides Amaozn having an excellent return policy. I don't think you will return it. I bought a spare. I only ever do that when something is so good I fear years down the road it might not exist. I am sharing my success and I have sensitive skin. I am not saying other products are not better. This combination of products helped me.

FANTASTICO
No doubt there is plenty of marketing hype-Australian owned, Chinese manufactured and marketed from the USA. Also it is expensive. However as a retiree I have the time and inclination to indulge in wet shaving. Let me tell you "The Vikings Blade Crusader is well crafted, has heft and superb balance. The shave is very smooth and if done properly does not leave any razor burn.Much of the credit goes to the Japanese blades that I use. I prefer it to the Gillette Fusion which I have been using until now. ***Three years later/It looks better in real life then in the photos above. Even after three years of daily shaving it looks brand new. I prefer the butterfly design over all others.

Epitome of leisurely luxury
The FIRST thing to consider while using this item is that, you should not be in a hurry to do that 2 minute shave, splash and leave for the day. For that - use a Philishave. Relax. Organize your blades, shaving brush, shave cream, warm water, antiseptic solution, etc. Let the first brush strokes wet the stubble first. It will loosen the skin and make the hair soft. After a rich lather up, use a medium setting of 4-5 and gently let the weight of the razor fall on the skin and with a good blade (I use 7 o'clock super platinum) with a few repeated strokes, the results are bound to be excellent. Again, one should not hurry. The habit of taking a long swipe with the cartridge razor from top to bottom of the face will not work for swivel butterfly systems, and this piece is genuinely a master of its art. I refrained from writing a review till I had used it for about a month at least, and with this experience I can say that it does take some time to get used to. First of all - as with automatic watches and fountain pens, this is a vintage product. I repeat, one should not hurry. Relax and enjoy the leisurely comfort (almost an indulgence) of A-1 grade shaving. I have another Viking Emperor - the MEIJI edition (Vintage Bronze and Raven Black) and I use it in another city where I have a parallel establishment. Both these products need to be handled with care and due diligence - much like a coveted TAG or the Seamaster Professional.....so it is, with these razors. Welcome to elegant shaving - I am thoroughly satisfied, and will use due discretion to decide, whom, among my friends and relatives, should I gift these items to, when I purchase again. And yes, surely I will.... Thank you!!

I love it
One of my favorite razors... Simply amazing feeling especially with Astra blade.
