Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Long handle gives you a lot of flexibility in grip. Has the heft of the fatboy and a longer handle closer to the late 60’s “balck beauty’ adjustable. Much heavier than anything i’ve used before.

The adjustable vikings blade razor performs in the shadow of a stainless steel rex ambassador as well as stainless steel rockwell adjustable both selling at multiples of the viking. The razor is almost feather but less murderous on amazon is shaving r...  Read More

I'm officially converted. It makes you feel civilized. Gentlemen jon alum block.

The bar and comb sometimes can get tilted but can easily be adjusted back to being strait. I always fix mine so it’s perfectly straight before shaving and then tighten down doors knob so it doesn’t move or shift.

The shave is fantastic. This type of razor is what i used when learned to shave. It really is an excellent shaver.



Cons

It clogs easily even at the higher settings which requires opening up the butterfly lids to wash out. The adjustible dial to vary the razor width continually goes loss during shaving. It is way milder than this company's godfather, which is supposed t...  Read More

Bottom plate was misaligned again. Problem has cropped up enough times for the company to address it. Head piece was significantly pitted and chipped straight out of the box.

The shave is nowhere near as close as with one of the mass media 5 blade designs. It's really uncomfortable. Very obvious with longer beard growth.

I swear i saw some gunk when i first got it but wasn't sure if it wasnt just some factory residue. There were fingerprints in the coating and little tiny hairs as if no care was taken when it was put on.

Quality


The razors excellent heft makes shaving effortless.


Great quality material and the perfect weight


If you absolutely need the highest-quality finish, get the rockwell r2.


It took a few times, got a few cuts, as i learned to process but now i will never go back to the old disposable razors.

Price


You will not be disappointed and it will save a ton of money in the long run.


For the cost of one 2 spare package for my "old" gillete mack 3, i can purchase 11 - 12 packages of blades (each containing 5 b...  Read More


I was new to single blade razors but as a bald man, i got tired of spending the outrageous prices of replaceable razors.


I was intrigued by this, especially that it was adjustable, and decided to try it out for only $32.

Shipping


The delivery also arrived faster than i expected.


My "emperor" arrived this morning and i couldn't wait to try it.

Packaging/appearance


Beautiful packaging and feels amazing in the hand when shaving, nice and heavy as well as amazing quality when doing everything...  Read More

Competitiveness


This razor obviously draws comparisons with the adjustable rockwell t2, so let's compare!


The single blade is better for edge trimming than the multi-blades frequently sold today.
