Pros & Cons
Pros
After using for a while now the shaves are better. Still shaves well, though, so the rating didn't sink any lower.
The emperor is much heavier, looks better, feels more solid, has a thicker and longer handle. It has the heft of the fatboy and a longer handle closer to the late 60’s “balck beauty” adjustable.
Such craftsmanship, much more sturdy with way better material. It’s a lot heavier than expected, in a good way.
The name of the corporation that sells the almost feather but less murderous on amazon is shaving revolution and the funky, beautiful and utilitarian razors can be found at vikingsblade.
This razor is the real deal. It's superb as long as you get a good one. This piece reminds me a great deal of that razor. Nice addition to my growing collection.
Cons
The shave is nowhere near as close as with one of the mass media 5 blade designs. No comparison to a karve open comb or a gillete red tip or even a 1940's open comb at your weekly wet shaving meeting but mine just didn’t work. This razor, even if you ... Read More
One side of the razor has a straight bar, while the other is scalloped. After 6 months of careful use, the butterfly closure loosens after every pass. The number setting doesn’t works unless the butterfly is loose.

If it is moving, it is not discernible by eye. In person it is much more evident. But, in fact, it turns out to be a deception. Update* sending this back.
Highlights
Quality
I like the quality of this de razor, and the adjustable shave 🪒 is very helpful as i have sensitive skin.
Quality is nice and appears to be well made.
I'll stick with the house brand japanese metal for now.
With the multi blade razors, after going over spots multiple times, it would be the same as dragging this across your face abou... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Everything was awesome from the packaging to the razor it self.
The packaging is great also, highly recommend.
That is of course if you're intelligent enough to read and comprehend the packaging.
The packaging says it all about the product.
Competitiveness
Overall this is a 5star razor, i’m not even gonna dock it a star for my safety bar off-kilter issue, some gillette models had t... Read More
I don't know if its a muhle r41 competitor but i will give the inexperienced this advice.
Upgraded to this from an entry level, non-adjustable razor.
In that case i’d look to a jagger de89, merkur 34c or perhaps a muhle r41.
