WEISHI Butterfly Open Double Edge Safety Razor for Men, Nostalgic Long Handle with 5 Stainless Razor Blades, Reusable Wet Shave Tool for Smooth, Close Shave

My dad always used an electric shaver, I think that was the status symbol of the 50's 60's & 70's... I tried one but never really liked and really feel that they are not worth the exorbitant amount of money charged for a small electric device that has not changed in basic design since the 1950's. My mother actually used a Safety razor to shave her legs and that is the only experience I had with one, seeing it on the vanity as a kid but never using one. When not using the electric razor (i.e. most of my life) I used the common disposable plastic multi-blade razors or the more expensive refillable variety. I always had a huge issue with the clogging of these little cheap devices and with the ridiculous price charged for either ($36 for 5 refill blades? really?) . I also felt that they would dull to unusable condition within 4 or five shaves. So I decided to go Back to the Future to try a safety razor with single blades. I first tried a cheap one that I found at a Dollar Tree Store, figured that for $1.25 I would get a shave and see if I liked how it performed. I did like it (Mainly because it did not clog up like the cheap plastic variety of disposable multi-blade razors. I did not like how the head opened as it was inconvenient to clean or change blades (But for a buck, what did I expect - right?) Searching Amazon, I found this WEISHI Safety Razor Double Edge Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Open Razor on sale for about $12 and then found a 100 pack of blades for like $7 in effect giving me a razor and the ability to shave for over 2 years for $20 bucks. Compare that to your Drugstore razor isle! I am very impressed with the quality of my purchase. The butterfly functions easily and reliably which make loading a new blade or cleaning up after a shave a breeze. (Something you can hardly do without a firehose of pressure on multi blade disposables. Actually shaving is just what you think it should be. Simply use the weight of this safety razor and glide it down your skin or up your neck. I have yet to get a cut or a nick and the actual shaves are much closer than any multi blade disposable I have ever used. The term "Like a baby's bottom" comes to mind... So if you are here reading this long review about a simple age old device, first patented by Gillett in 1904, just buy one and try it. It's worth $20 to see if you can tons of money and end up with a better shave than you are used to. I also do not believe there to spending much more than what I did for this WEISHI Safety Razor Double Edge Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Open Razor, there is no need to even look at the $60 versions as I cannot imagine that they work any better than the WEISHI.

This razor design is/was before my time, the more I use it, the more I am confused why we got away from it. I saw all these posts on reddit and online cautioning me I would hack my face all up. I have yet to have any cuts or even razor burn. If you have a new blade in this it really starts to make the 2,4,5 blade systems feel dumb. This is a great shave. I can use dry or wet (I like to shave in the shower and finish up out). I LOVE the weight, It has this great balance even with a shorter handle. If you just light pressure, it handles naturally and let it do the work. I have been around knives all my life so maybe I am just comfortable around the blade/edge geometry and use, balance etc. but it just feels right.

This has been a great first double edge safety razor. I did a lot of reading and comparisons to more expensive stuff but I wasn't ready to spend $20-30 until I knew that DE safety razor shaving was something I wanted to stick with. I used an electric razor for almost 10 years and instead of buying another replacement head for $30 I got this razor, a brush, and soap for $20 and couldn't be happier. I always just viewed using my electric razor and "getting the job done" and just wanted to do it quickly and be done. It worked okay but not a very close shave and I would get ingrown hairs pretty often. I should've switched sooner but I hated cartridge razors and they were very expensive, when I found out about safety razors I had to try it. This is a GREAT value to try out DE shaving. It's made very well and when paired with a quality blade you get a great shave. The case it comes with is nice and convenient as well. It comes with 5 Dorco blades which have a decent reputation. Everyone has different hair types so you have to find what works best for you. I have very coarse hair so these aren't quite right for me, they work but I ordered a sampler of sharper blades that should work better at cutting my thick beard hair. If you want to get started with DE shaving for cheap, but don't want to sacrifice quality then just buy this! You may end up wanting to try some nicer razors later on but honestly this would last you a lifetime. It's essentially a copy of the vintage Gillette Super Speed razors, and people to this day still buy those on ebay to use as they are such a timeless design that works so well. I have no doubt that if taken care of this razor will outlast my lifetime. For $10 what more could you ask for?!

This is a very good razor. If you are concerned about durability, as I write this review it is October 2025. I actually bought this razor in July of 2016. I have kept it in my shower most of this time. This razor, just broke after over 9 years. For what I paid, I couldn't be more impressed. I would have sworn that I have only had it a few years but time flies. So why is my review 4 stars instead of 5? Well I bought a replacement razor that was twice the price as this one. The shave quality of the more expensive razor is night and day different than this razor. I have used Astra Platinum blades for probably 15 years now. With the same exact blade in the new razor, it doesn't even feel like I am shaving. It's crazy. By comparison, this WEISHI razor is far less smooth with the same blades. I never really had an issue with it before, it's just that I never knew what I was missing. For the money, it is going to be very hard to find a butterfly open razor that will last you nearly 10 years. If you have the money to spend on a more expensive razor and you are curious if that will equate to a better shave, it very well could. I assumed a razor is a razor, I owned a Lord brand before this that was super basic but wanted a Butterfly after I cut my finger changing a blade with the Lord. I didn't notice a difference in shave quality going from the Lord to the WEISHI. However from the WEISHI to the Viking, it's night and day.

Sin duda un gran regalo para brindar y compartir con alguien más, excelente 👌 , es justo lo que esperaba. Y lo mejor los materiales y la precisión con la que está hecho, para rendir por muchos años 😃😃😃😃, ¡¡¡soy feliz!!!

I don't know how a $100 razor could be that much better than this one at $20. I am 65 years old and got tired of paying the high prices of the cartridge razors and using disposable razors. I thought it was would give it a shot based on the savings on the replacement blades. These blades don't last as long as the multi blade cartridge razors but they're cheap. You need proper shaving cream to use one of these also I discovered after a few bouts of mild razor burn. It does take some getting used to but after you get onto it it works very well.

Es una excelente opción para depilar sin estar comprando rastrillos de plástico, no hay mayor dificultad en hacerlo con esto, cumple su función muy bien, y el color está hermoso

It's my first razor of this kind so I have nothing to compare it to. I purchased it because people were saying it was more sustainable than plastic razors and also because I got tired of paying nearly 40$ for 4 cartridges of blades that barely last. I only used it once but I can already tell it's well invested money; my legs have never felt this smooth in a while, it's also awesome for the bikini area since it gives you a closer shave. You do have to be carefull not to get cut but it was much easyer that I would have expected! The color is stuning, I really love it. The razor also have a nice heavy weight which makes it feel more expenssive, it's small enought for travels. Also it arrived within 24 hours after ordering which I'm so happy about!
