It was more the build quality than the design that made for a bad shave. The pieces are stamped rather than forged and then sloppily coated with plating. I probably have the same razor that you have for everyday use. Johnny, I did this product review on a dare after seeing the very cheaply made razor in the souk.

I thought that you had switched to single edge a while ago, and it looks like you were using good blades. I switched to Derby brand straight razor blades about a year ago. I got the handle (yes,with a plastic casing) and 300 blades for $29.99 on Amazon. I end up shaving only 2-3x per week, so this kit should last me for the rest of my life! In the beginning, I may as well have shaved with a hatchet, I cut myself up so bad. But with practice I got better. Martin,
