I don’t know what it’s called in English, but it’s amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌

Edit: you obviously don’t have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣

      There is a bit of a learning curve to getting the right angle and pressure. Also, supposedly your skin needs to get used to it?

      After a couple of weeks, nicks will mostly be a thing of the past.

        Also blade selection is very important. I just got a sampler pack with ten blades and went until one felt right.

      Lol yep, I’ve cut myself with an electric shaver before too. But I did eventually get used to DE safety razors. Recently I’ve been using a slant blade razor, it’s nice and easy and I barely ever cut myself anymore.
