Pearl Shaving Double Edge Safety Razor (SS-01 CC-CHROME) made with Brass Metal- Classic & Traditional | Complimentary Blade Refills | Shaving Kit | Rakshabandhan Gift Options

--- Story Time ---Never shaved till I was 24. I have always been a beard guy. But for beard related personal research, i had to shaved it all, last year. Had been shaving for continuous 15 days every 3 months for an year.[Research Result] Shaving (not trimming) helps with thicker beard growth. Not thicker hair, but increased hair density. Because when you shave you cut the baby hairs - that are not easy to cut with trimmer - they regrow as full hair.I own a cheap Straight Razor (Ustra), which i bought years ago to keep my beard lines in shape. Been using the same for complete shave, for an year. Though, i have learnt to handle it, it's still not easy. Almost everything i end up with atleast one cut. Other times, with many cuts. I'm done with my beard-research, but want to keep my face clean shaved for a few months. I can still use Ustra, but it needs patience, precision and time. I have Patience and Precision, but I'm running little low on time. So i bought a Gillette Vector Plus Cartridge razor. The cheapest in market, with one Cartridge selling for ₹30. Compared to ₹3 for a standard double-edge blade.I used Vector Plus for 10 days. It was easy, safe and very fast to shave with. Love it. But i wanted to shave the traditional way. So i googled about Double Edge Safety Razor.Online experts said that Double Edge is the best razor you could own. So searched on Amazon for these Razors. Pearl Razors were among the cheapest one with better reviews. Did my further research on the brand. Found out that they are selling the same razors outside of India. I bought Closed Comb for ₹289. But outside India, same product is selling for $23 (₹1700+). And the people who used it, actually praised it. So without any further thought, i placed my order.-- Review --It looks better than in photos. Not a fan of chrome but i couldn't find Matté Black color by Pearl on Amazon so had to settle. It is complete metal build (Brass and Zinc). Feels heavy in hand, which is good. Easy to open and close. Textured and fairly long handle (but not too long) for better grip. Top is chrome with Pearl branding (probably sandblasted). When blade is put inside the razor, the top-plate bends the blade perfectly. (I have installed the blade in photos. Can you see?) Since no one taught me shaving, i learnt it from internet. But this razor came with a shaving guide which can help anyone in detail who didn't googled "how to shave". I personally love that little booklet. It was helpful.And then we come to the shaving part. I was expecting some cuts and burns. To my disappointed, didn't get any. Yes, a couple pimples burst-ed. But pimples always bleed, even if you use the safest razor in the world. This is undoubtedly the "Safety" Razor. I ran this Razor with and against the grain. I have never received this close shave. They say, you get closer shave with an Open Comb design. But what's more close than this? De-rooting the hair? With Ustra (and even with Cartridge Razor), i could never shave my chin perfectly. A dimple chin is the most complex part to shave. But with this Double Edge Razor, i could finally shave it to smooth.Yes, you get this kind of perfect shave with any Double Edge Razor. So you don't have to stick with Pearl. But in my experience, Pearl is selling an amazing razor at ₹300. Other Double Edge razor selling at this price or lower feels hollow and light.-- Conclusion & FAQs--Apart from logo, everything about this razor is perfect. I love it. It will last me years to come. Maybe generations, since I'll grow my beard back and hardly will shave.If you are reading this because you have never tried Wet Shaving, but want to: Brother, please give it a try. With this safety razor, it will be safe, quick and easy to shave. End result will be a smooth skin, which you would love. I have always been a beard guy. But i am loving the shaving experience so much, that i want to stay clean shaved for some time.I absolutely do suggest buying a Double Edge Razor over any other type of razor. If you don't want to research before buying, just buy the Pearl Safety Razor. You will not be disappointed.If you are confused between closed comb and open comb, go with the close comb. Open comb is said to provide a super close shave but it is for experts. And honestly, Pearl Closed Comb already gave me a very close - smooth - shave. (Because i ran it twice. Once with the grain, second time against the grain.)---------- Thank you ----------Since you read my whole review, i thank you for trusting me to help you with your purchase decision.So as a token of gratitude, i give you one piece of information:If you don't like this Chrome Look and the Pearl Branding, but want this Double Edge Safety Razor: go to pearlshaving.inOn their website, they are selling the Matté Black Metal version of same razor for ₹359. It goes by the model name SS-09. It has better handle design, a thin silver ring in the handle. And no tacky pearl branding.Enjoy your shaving. Cheers!

I have been using it for just a few days. The razor has a solid feel and gives a smooth shave. I have been tempted to give a 5 star rating but am not sure how long the chromium playing will last.

I have been using Mach 3 for 3 years. That is a three blade mechanism tool. The blades are expensive.But this product is so good. Have been using regularly since I bought. I have also used one blade razor like this but I was not satisfied with weight and I had frequent cuts. But this blade was so better. Its weight and in hand feel is so good and I never had cuts using this blade.

My name is Sandip. The safety razor is awesome — it’s very smooth, looks great, and the quality is excellent. Truly a value for money purchase!

This safety razor has a solid build with a good weight that feels nice and balanced in the hand. The overall quality is quite decent and gives a premium feel when you hold it. However, when it comes to actual usage, it does fall a bit short.The blade angle isn’t the most forgiving—it requires extra care while shaving. If you’re someone who shaves quickly or with a rough hand, this might not be the right choice. I noticed it tends to cause small cuts more easily compared to other safety razors I’ve used.That said, if you’re someone who takes their time, shaves slowly and with precision, it can do the job fairly well. It’s not ideal for a quick morning routine but might suit those who prefer a more patient, careful shave.Overall, it’s an okay product—not perfect, but manageable with the right technique.

Shaving is not fun. It is a chore. Atleast that is what I used to think before I got this razor. The best part about this razor is that it is made of metal. Unless you are a novice when it comes to shaving, NEVER BUY A PLASTIC RAZOR. They are lightweight and you will have to put a lot of pressure on them. They cause ingrown hairs. They don't give clean shaves easily. They break. They are bad for the environment. Metal razors are better. This is a very environment friendly Made In India razor that has made my life easier. And it is not heavy on the pocket either.

I’ve been using this razor for a few years. It was working fine, doing what a razor is supposed to do. However, there’s a serious manufacturing defect. The threads on the top and bottom parts ,where they are supposed to connect are extremely shallow.While tightening the razor after inserting the blade, the threads wore out completely. As a result, the top part started rotating freely and ended up slashing my fingers very deeply. This is a serious safety hazard that the company needs to address urgently. Till then I do NOT recommend this product.

This is actually a very good product and the results are satisfying.
