Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It makes it easy to get a really good shave without nicking yourself. Once you get the nack of just letting the razor do the work, instead of applying pressure which is required with plastic 5 blade razors. The smooth feel of the attack regulation kno...  Read More

Long handle gives you a lot of flexibility in grip. I honestly feel like heavier razors give you better control. The emperor is much heavier, looks better, feels more solid.

Gillette silver blue is an excellent shaver. Slim, athletic big brother of the meiji.

Good quality brushes are softer on the skin, and give you a more luxurious lather. Apply after shave (lotion not balm) no irritation and no rashes, plus cheap blades.



Cons

No comparison to a karve open comb or even a gillete red tip. The shave is nowhere near as close as with one of the mass media 5 blade designs. After multiple shaves, it always results in razor burn and a rash on my neck. Not a good first impression. ...  Read More

One of the doors was not machined correctly. One side of the razor has a straight bar, while the other is scalloped. Day edge of butterfly clamp caused blade to ripple/buckel.

The craftsmanship is also rather sawty. Very cheaply engineered. Not even close to my cheap wilkinson $20 tto razor.

Viking's blade chieftain jr doesn't have any of the problems that the two emperor frosted chrome razors i received have. The finish on the handle wears easily showing the metal beneath and the brass parts turn green from oxidation. There were fingerpr...  Read More

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.

    For the cost of one 2 spare package for my 34old34 gillete mack 3 i can purchase 11 12 packages of blades each containing 5 blades so for each spare for my mack 3 i get at least 25 new blades for this one
