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. 🤣

    Your razor is called a double-edge safety razor. Purists call them a scam to keep selling you blades. Shaving enthusiasts (yeah they apparently exist) like to use straight razors that you can keep sharpening.

    I use a plug-in Norelco shaver and consider it close to BIFL. I might have to replace the spinning blades someday. Otherwise, it’s more powerful than the battery powered models and doesn’t have batteries that gradually lose capacity or tempt you to throw out the shaver when the battery craps out after a few years. The batteries in those models are sealed in the razor like mobile phone batteries, so replacing them is an electronics repair job involving soldering, replacing waterproof seals, and stuff like that.
