Giesen & Forsthoff Gentle Shaver Safety Razor Fixed Blade Knife, 1.75in, Stainless Steel, 1353

-

Just finished my first shave with a safety razor ever and I am very pleased. I was very nervous and thought I would have some cuts after my first attempt but it was pretty easy and no cuts or nicks. Very smooth shave and kind of fun. I used shaving soap with a brush and did one pass with the grain and then one pass against the grain, and it's a great, smooth, close shave. So far I am very happy with the Giesen & Forsthoff TIM1353 Gentle Shaver Safety Razor.

It's a good razor for biginer great German quality razor I wish the handle was thicker and longer,it's not a razor for me it's to mild it was better if it was More agresiv, recommend this one for bigginers.

This is a tremendous quality tool. I have a beard that is like metal wire, and I need very specific razors that can cut through it without destroying my skin. I generally have to wait for my beard to grow out for a couple of days before I can shave it, otherwise the razor burn is terrible. This razor, along with a very sharp blade, can remove the hair after just 24 hours' growth. I would say it's designed for daily shaving. It's extremely precise while being protective of your skin. It's not really designed for longer stubble, not for guys that shave every 3 or 4 days. You'll need a more aggressive razor for that. But if you wanna shave very short stubble every morning, this razor is perfect.

Like others, i got to this listing thanks to Executive Shaving. I gotta say I am pleasantly surprised, and this may very well be my last razor. It is super mild, yet very efficient. The short, textured grip makes it easy to hold and maneuver.I paired it with Gillette blades and it has worked great for me. Also, I got a travel leather pouch, also made by G&F

Craftsmanship and material is top quality. Will last forever. But this has been the worst razor I ever used. It pulls the hair instead of cutting. I don’t know if mine is defective I couldn’t use, too painful like waxing off your hairs.

This has been my daily shaver for a few months. The handle is fantastic, but the head leaves a little bit to be desired as one side of the blade has noticeably more exposure than the other, leaving the "double edge" nature a little useless. Kind of bummed.

Shaving with a double-edged razor since 1968, I have NEVER had a smoother, gentler razor in my life! The machine tool and die work is typical high grade German quality. It has a well balanced heft in hand like any perfectly made hand tool. This razor surpasses the Gillette Tech of old; this is the perfect gentle 3-piece razor!If you have been searching for a very mild wet shaver to give yourself the closest knick, drag and cut free shave; look no further! This is the one! Buy this now!! Your son and grandson will thank you! Taken care of it will last that long!
