BAILIButterfly Open TTO Double Edge Metal Safety Razor Wet Shaving Kit for Men Women with Platinum Blade and Mirrored Travel Case BD179

Attractive razor, great value, good, close, shave!My previous razor resulted in cuts almost every time. This one has yet to cut me, after 3-4 uses. Plus the shave is closer.I just bought two more just to have on hand in the coming years.

I really didn't expect much for the price with this razor, but was I wrong! I've been wet shaving for a long time and have tried everything from vintage Gillettes (which I personally prefer) to the modern brands, and I would say this shaves very similar to the Gillette Flair Tip or Red tip. This Bali does have an advantage in that it encloses the blade ends which is more comfortable under the nose area. It is medium aggressive, more so than a Merkur 34c, but not as much as a Old style Gillette open comb.

Just as in the description has its own case comes with a blade easy to use. Great purchase !

Very good

I have used Gillete atra razors for 3 decades. When they went woke I decided to vote with my dollar, use up the rmaining cartridges and replace them. I finally settled on a butterfly safety razor.I found this razor for a modest price meeting all my wants/needs. I purchased the one with medium aggressiveness. My beard is heavy mostly grey now. It arrived in good shape, well packaged and one razor in the box. I purchased another 100 of the highly recommended blades. I had held off shaving to make sure I could use it when it arrived. I was NOT disappointed. the shave was smooth, fast and I only cut myself once. To put that into perspective my atra would cut me when my beard was that heavy multiple times and take 3 to 4 times because the blade was 1/2 the size of the safety razor and clogged a lot. Not this one, quick rinse through the water and it was ready for the next stroke. The shave is far superior to my atra. So much so that I went 7 days before shaving again and normaly with my atra I was lucky to make it 4. I believe this is because the larger single blade cuts more evently and does a better job in general.if youa re using any disposable razor you really need to throw it out and buy this one. Make sure you get the correct level of aggressive cutting. My face has over 40 years of shaving on it and is pretty tough, younger men might was a mild version. I really wish I had tried this 40 years ago. I anticipate the box of 100 blades to last me probably 2 years or more and they were $8, compare that to a pack of 5 atra's for 4 or 5 times the price and only last 1/3 as long.If anything changes I will update,PS I am not in any way shape or form compensated by anybody for my opinion.Update 2 Aug 2024.My only issue that I have come across is operator error. I didn't realize that the butterfly was not down tight. This allowed the blade to cut deeper and nicked myself a few places. No big deal, my fault, maybe you can learn from my mistake.On average I am getting about 4 or 5 shaves off of a single blade.

I like that it's very compact and the blade stays tight and firm avoiding razor cuts on my face. Very happy with it.

I like the length and weight as you have more control over the razor. It came with the Astra razor blade and I purchased a 100 pack. I figured it will take me 2 years to go through them at a cost of $10.00. I am very impressed the sharpness.So glad I did. Best shave I have had in years.

I can't say this is better or worse than other razors on the market, but I absolutely love this one! I've never had a safety razor and so spent a lot of time reading reviews and researching before I decided on this one. The deciding factor for me was price. Seemed that the reviews were good and the cost was low enough to take a chance on something I've never even used before. I'm very pleased with this razor. Don't even know where to start. I guess first of all, it is built like a battleship. Solid and free of any defects that I can see. It doesn't seem flimsy in any way. You twist it open and put a blade in it, twist it closed and it is a work of art. The blade stays put and doesn't move around at all. There's more chrome on this thing than a '57 Chevy! The top blade covers are smooth as silk. Makes me want to go shave just talking about it. I won't waste your time telling you how to use this razor, it's pretty easy to figure it out on your own, but it is a different kind of experience. My advise would be to take it slow and let the razor do the work. In other words, don't use much force on it. Just let it glide and do it's thing. I haven't had any issues with it yet, but I know this thing can, and will, HURT you if not used properly. Get top quality blades. There is a blade that comes with it, but I found others that seem to work a lot better. They are inexpensive and reusable as well. What ever works best for you. I also recommend you keep the case it comes in. It is an excellent place to store the razor whether you are traveling or just putting it away after use. Funny thing about the case is that it comes with a "HD" mirror! I read that in the manual or somewhere, and got a chuckle out of that. HD mirror, lol. All this time I've only been using standard def, who knew?
