It feels great in the hand, the weight of the razor helped it glide across my face easily. They sent me an e-mail soon after the order inviting me to contact them if I experienced any issues or shipping delays."
"My first experience with a straight edge razor; something I have always wanted to try, but had no desire to spend large amounts for the experience."
"I have only ever had a straight razor shave on my face once or twice in my life, and both times from someone who knew what they were doing. The reasons I chose this razor were the reviews and the fact it came as a kit, complete with blades. There is a bit of heft with the razor (you need that) and the blades are very sharp (would defeat the purpose if they weren’t !!)."
"I've always wanted to try a straight edge/shavette (currently using a safety razor) and I thought what the heck this straight edge is so cheap I could take a chance and see if it was all I thought it was."
"I don't have any local Barbers that use a straight edge and I do most of my grooming and clipping at home anyway so this is a good product if you are interested in the traditional straight-edge shave, a shavette is a great way to test the waters without breaking the bank."
"I live with a couple guys and feel incredibly sophisticated every morning when I go to shave. This has to be the smoothest shave ever and I find myself sitting in the mirror lining up my eyebrows, hair line, mustache, neckline."

"I told my wife awhile ago that I wanted to try a straight razor. I am very happy with the product but my skills are another thing. One guy on YouTube, I forgot his channel, said “ try until you need to stop then put down the straight razor and use you old razor to to finish and eventually you won’t need the old type razors”."
"As with most razors, it's more about the blade than the razor itself."
"First time trying to shave with a straight razor and thought I would try this to save some money."
"The blades aren't always centered correctly and like everyone else has said, it is difficult to center the blades correctly without cutting yourself."
"And the seller even emailed me afterwords with tips in case you are not familiar with these types of razors."
"This is my first straight razor, so far I'm enjoying it and the shave is immaculate."
"I was very happy with the product it fits great on hand but recently the joint between the two major pieces broke."

I finally settled into the bath tub with my new Vikings Blade razor and some frothy manly shaving soap (in almond). Because every damn forum where men are talking about these razors they keep saying BE CAREFUL, you might kill yourself. The secret was a good lather and no pressure on the razor head. And I shaved against the grain which must be some kind of man no-no, but it works fine for my legs. My bestie (female) has ordered one and my teen is eyeballing my razor!"
"Perfect blade allignmnet, I loaded a blade 10 times before shaving and I got a perfect allignmnet everytime. Even if your hands are slippery due to the soap or cream, you won't drop it because of the outstanding knurling."
"After trying those many different cartridge blades, and being disappointed in performance (not to mention the high cost), I moved to an electric razor. Routinely, I'd notice a hair a tad longer than the others that the razor had missed. After hundreds of dollars in buying electric razors, and never really getting as close a shave as I wanted, a really amazing thing happened. I opened the box and inside was my late father's original safety razor from 1957. In looking at dad's old safety razor, it's as if he was saying, "Welcome home, my son, to REAL shaving!" If I was going to get back into DE shaving, I needed something brand new with precision craftsmanship. I wanted a razor that would ensure a nick free and comfortable shave. Clearly, the VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor by Julian Vue ruled the day. It has all the features I want in a new razor: -A beautiful Chrome finish. -Made from brass and bronze alloy. -Butterfly head. Last thing he wanted was to cut himself from loading a razor blade. This site: [...] rates the top ten safety razors on the market today. However, based on price, performance, materials, and qualoity the VIKINGS BLADE is the NUMBER ONE pick! Part Two, the actual use of the VIKINGS BLADE razor, will follow in the next few days. A smooth and easy swing makes for a nice, straight drive. The VIKINGS BLADE's butterfly head design makes this a snap! While you wait for delivery, take to the internet and explore the thousands of articles and videos which will give you everything you need to know in the proper use of a safety razor. PART 2 - This morning I had the wonderful PLEASURE of using the VIKINGS BLADE razor for the very first time! It's the weight of the handle that naturally encourages you from pressing on the skin too hard. These razors with plastic, hollowed out handles are so lightweight, the user tends to press more in order to make contact with the skin. It's remarkable because this approach allows the blade to do all the work to cleanly cut away the hair. You only need a few ingredients in order to get a clean, close, comfortable shave. While waiting for delivery, study the proper technique in using a safety razor. I'd imagine that negative reviews regarding safety razors are due to the user not understanding the correct technique. They grab a razor and start hacking away and then complain about the negative experience. But knowing the proper technique, tips, and tricks will lay the groundwork for a successful first shave which will lead to many more in the days and years ahead. As a now former electric razor user, I look forward to no batteries, no charges, no cords, and no clutter."
"It looks right at home next to my shave gel, applicator brush, aftershave, and body spray."

Find Best Price at Amazon"the blades are too close, hair gets stuck, and needs continuous rinsing resulting in a slow and inferior shave. There are actually 3 subsets of negative reviews: 1) fakes 2) lesser quality than store and 3) believed they were 'ProGlide' (more than 50%). On #2, I have bought these razors in the store probably for 10 years and have had similar experiences (on rare occasions) to the negative reviews like "do not last as long", "strip faded quickly".. i think these are issues of quality control from Gillette and not specific to where or how you buy them. However, if you read carefully, the box flap is only an advertisement to 'upgrade' to ProGlide - It does NOT imply that the razors included are 'ProGlide'. So, my point is that this is not a 'too good to be true' price that would make me question the authenticity. My experience with the product: I opened the box and immediately believed the packaging and razors to be real."
"Okay now for the tip: The number one tip I can give for keeping your razors sharp and new FOR WEEKS is to dip them in rubbing alcohol after every-single-use. I keep a small plastic container with a lid in my bathroom cabinet filled with the rubbing alcohol. I bought a 4 pack of these razors last year for my husband and I to use and I'm just now replacing them because of this simple trick."
"I finish with Blaviar Sigma (Sigma by Blaviar | Ultra-Luxury Eau de Cologne After-Shave Balm, 5 fl oz / 150 mL), which is my favorite smelling aftershave, to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day."
"Pro-tip: If you want the blade to last longer, just dry them as best as possible and put them in a container with a few silica packs after use."
"A great value compared to buying in stores."
"These are not Gillette Fusion ProGlide, emphasis on the ProGlide, blades."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Before I start reviewing here I want to bust a myth: Yes, these cartridges are interchangeable with regular Fusion Proglide or Fusion Proglide Flexiball razors or the Fusion Proglide Slider 3-1. My initial purchase was Fusion Proglide Power with 4+1 blades as I couldn't find replacement blades at a convenient store while travelling. These are the best and the top of the line cartridges available for "nearly" top of the line razors. The strips on top of the blades works for some (based on the other reviews) but I don't think they add a lot of value to me. My experience with the blades and this purchase: 1. As of 1st Aug 2015 - the standard internet search engines, local department stores, local membership stores I found Amazon to be the cheapest."
"I used one of these blades for a month (I shave nearly every day...the guys that advertise their blades last a month assume you only shave 3-4 times a week)."
"Good blades at a good price!! A man deserves a good shave and a comfortable blade."
"My favorite blade for my Gillette.... Love this product and this is the original NO IMITATION, the quality is great and the price is slightly lower than the ones at the store/pharmacy.."
"When it's hot, I get the razor warm with the hot water, and when rinsing the blade during the shave, it is clean and warm again."
"I have used disposables, name brand blades, & electric shavers. This is a result of not being able to clean the Dorco blades due to their construction."
"It forms to the curves of my armpits making quick work of them & I never, ever thought I'd find a razor that fits to the curves of the knee so well."
