Edward's lifetime safety razor

Our safety razor is excellent to use, In chrome it’s great looking piece. It is a middle aggressive razor which cuts very close. Although it allows a flexibility in the blade that makes it a careful shave. We sold badger hair brushes for sometime but we decided to have synthetic Edward’s home brand brushes. They are as good and will generally last longer. Again in our brilliant chrome.

Muhle Hexagon shaving range

Muhle Hexagon shaving range

Safety razor

Muhle shaving culture is a wonderful thing. Now taking a life style ethos also in recent years. They have really embraced Germanies rich design history. If you take into account the new Hexagon range designed by the Berlin based designer Mark Braun. Who is a bohemian new age designer of furniture and also watches. Now he has been comissioned to make a safety razor range along with shaving brushes and shaving sets.

The Hexagon range is made of anodized aluminium, and chrome. This process lends an Irradecent sheen to the shaving products. A lot of thought went into the colours being several of which. Forest green, Bronze and Graphite. There is a dull matting to the Graphite which is quite unique. Also a striking element is the shape of the handles, being hexagon hense the name of the range. I was intrigued although sceptacle about the ease of shaving but it seems to aid the process, as opposed to wet chrome that is sometimes slippery. The hexagon range barrels are flat and with the matt finish it creates a great grip.

The head and body of the razors are well engineered when screwing it together it feels like they are one of the same component. All handles in the range are stamped with the Muhle name, but also the companies coordinates. Which lends it a fantastic military vibe.

Muhle Hexagon shaving range

Muhle have put emphasis into fiber brushes in recent years, making an ethical option for those who realize shaving with a brush is far better than foam. They also might have modern ethics around the fur trade. Therefore the Hexagon range has a vegan dopelganger being that you have an option of silver tip or fiber brushes. Also the knots are changeable by a screw mechanism, which is unique to any shaving brush on the market. I am not to bothered about this as a feature though as the silvertip brushes last well over the decade, Therefore I’m sure the synthetic counterpart will be basically bomb proof. Also as a non disposable plastic also don’t worry about any of it ending up in the water system.

The stands are unique to the Hexagon range, and stainless steel. It has an unusual angle of holding the razor and brush pictured. This is also somehow quite a compact set, as it doesn’t take up to much space.

I can understand Muhle’s decision to move into the realms of modernist design. As In our experience the Hipsters or super cool under 40s, don’t really care what they shave with. Our data shows this. Also the Hipster craze of the beard warrents no safety razor. The Hexagon range is marketed at the style conscious shaver or maybe even to convert. The Hexagon range is akin to the Bauhaus design movement also from Germany. Although it is now 100 years old the design school made products to be futuristic. So now we have in a way finally caught up.

I have lots, I started with just one. The too aggressive Muhle R41, for beginners anyway. My Immature technique crumbled under It’s tyranny. To set the scene I was pretentiously shaving in the bath with a mirror. Imitating a WW2 Spitfire pilot perhaps. On the the first stroke I rammed the relatively unprotected D’E blade into my Jugular, resulting in a Inch long cut. I lept from the bath and grabbed a styptic stick, which I poulticed into the turning black wound. I relaxed for the rest of the day and kept an eye on it.

Shaving technique

This will come with time, I am now after 10 years passed novice. I have also done a great deal of research on shaving. I honed my technique with a non aggressive razor being the Fatip Gentila. Also this razor allowed me to practice more expert moves like the J turn. Being a J movement and almost a drag accross a cheek or chin. I now use a middle aggressive razor being the Edward’s lifetime razor. I realize I am biased, but the Edward’s lifetime razor is a powerful ally in my shaving armoury. Also I often go back to my Gentila on weekdays, when I have a little growth as I shave every day. I may do this in the mornings. I often use the Edward’s razor but late in the evening, this will provide me with such a close shave It will do for the next day. This means I can shave with luxury In the evening and not shaving like a mad crazed ferrit at 6.45 when I need to be on the 7 oclock.

I have 4 safety razors which I use. My primary for some time was the Muhle R89 safety razor. This is Muhle’s best seller, and for good reason. It is a rather beautiful object which is somewhat ornate. It is also practically a great razor. The standard Muhle head gives a really solid shave. It is also a great beginner razor as it is not to harsh. I still use my R41 from time to time when I have come back from a music festival perhaps. As the comb will manipulate any hair length into shape, although I do it with great caution. My Gentila is a great razor which I love a very drunk man could use one with safety It also looks great. The Edward’s razor Is what It is a real power house with loads of blade but somehow very safe.

The Crux of my point is it’s great to have a range of safety razor’s. I would also recommend a gentle razor or middle for your first.

 

Men rock safety razor kit

Men rock safety razors starter kit review

Men rock Safety razors

The Men rock safety razors starter kit review, by Edward.

After seeing Men rock from a far, we decided to get into contact with them. Also knowing that they sold safety razor we, after a chat with management have been asked to write a review. So here it goes. Firstly the razor looks great. The use of knurling in the design is modern and powerful, it also provides the shaver a firm grip. This stainless steel razor is on the closer side of gentle to middle aggressive, which makes it a great every day razor. Two passes were very easy, I feel that with the men rock razor you can really take control of the shave without fear of cuts. But still getting the necessary closeness needed for efficiency. The blades provided are the Men rock home brand, which were firm and sharp. Close to something like Muhle blades.

Shaving brush

Ten points for realistic looking faux badger hair, I had to check and double take. The handle is plastic and relatively light, but my favourite feature was that it was a great exfoliate. It really pummelled my pours. Also it provided a more than adequate way to whip up lather.

Pomegranate shaving cream

This smells great, and is more of a professional level cream which a barber may use. Using a hot wet brush, I activated it in a bowl and then some more on my face. Then I coated it on as if it were emulsion paint, it was really that thick and firm.

This was truly a satisfying shaving cream to use, throughout the day I got the odd scent of pomegranate and my skin feels great.

Men rock safety razors starter kit review

All and all I am happy with the what you get for the price, which is far more than £45 worth. Still I am really buzzing over the high quality cream, Excellent.

Iconic safety razors

Which safety razors should I choose?

Safety razors

This is an Iconic safety razors list for DE safety razors. We are leaving out roller strops and single blades, due to how many D,E razors there are on the market today. Also looking back it’s amazing to see the most common style is how it all started. That’s right with the trusty 3 pc safety razor. The Gillette New, made in 1930 must have been quite the talking point. Shaving with this open combed razor must have revolutionised shaving. Brass being the material is also a heavy choice, but a mark of quality. The screw mechanism screwed the cap together holding the blade in place, and Gillette already had the market coined by making the only D,E blade. We guess that it was not patented nor were D E blades. Which is unlike Gillette who are known for being tough in business.

Then came the Gillette tech in the 1940s, the worlds first closed comb safety razor. Probably due to the lethal cutting record of the New. Now still a 3 piece the material was steel which was gold plated. Rather snazzy, also the mechanism differed as there was a bolt that fastened a screw running through it.

The next safety razors that came in. Was the Gillette super speed in the 50 s, also called a butterfly razor. A mechanism parted the head in two, were you inserted the razor blade. It’s satisfying to watch the mechanism of this stainless razor, although I have known these to break.

Iconic safety razors

The Gillette Fat boy was the next on the scene, it was adjustable so you control the aggressiveness. Incredible stuff really.  This has made way for many like it in recent years.  There was a few Fat boys brought out with different designs. This razor inspired the Merkur Future, a rather lovely designer razor.
