Precise German Straight Razor - urwunder - Shavio - Genuine Leather Case - Simple Manuals - 4-Pin Blade Holder [Black Arm/Black Wood]

Excellent shaver. I love that the blade holder helps you to precisely position the blade, thanks to the two pins that are not found in my other ones. I actually bought a Parker but returned it immediately due to the crack I found near the hinge. This one however doesn’t have such problem. I suspect the resin coating helps to reduce the chance of the wooden handle developing a crack. I did not like the supplied blades at all. I recommend using this with Derby Premium blades.

i am growing a full beard for the first time in 49 years. i wanted a straight razor to clean up my cheek lines and neck line. I bought this and totally love it. at first, i couldn't figure out the blades. i thought they wouldn't fit, but you have to snap them in half.. so each blade in package is actually 2 after you snap in half.. then it fit perfect. my first attempt at shaving wasn't great, but then i watched youtube and learned to keep razor at 30 degree angle and go with the hair grain.. after that i fell in love with the razor. the wood is beautiful, and its simply a cool piece. the leather sheath is top notch too. a lot of choices for straight razors... you will be very pleased with this one!

This is my first straight razor, so it is hard to really compare it to others, but I will give my two cents.. I also was skeptical because the only time I every let someone use one on me at the barber, I was cut multiple times.. but I needed something to better detail my beard. I'm sure there are better razors out there, but I am pretty content with this product for the price. It's easy to hold and works well to detail my beard on my cheeks, but I find it very uncomfortable on my neck (probably my fault or just how any straight razor would be for me). The wooden handle has held up so far, but in the future I would probably get a plastic or metal handle to be more confident in cleaning it. The only problems I have found are that the case is a very tight fit, and when you fold the razor it gets slightly pushed out of the 'clamps' that hold it in place because the razor goes into the handle, but the clamps are too thick to go in. Also, cut hairs get caught under the razor clamps pretty easily and is a bit of a nuisance.

Meh - pretty expensive for what it is. Works fine but the glue on the handle came loose after a boy a few uses. Reglued it with a waterproof wood glue and it’s been fine.

I’ve held a Master Hair Care license for over 30 years. This is a beautiful razor. German craftsmanship like my VW CC. Packaged by Paul. Thank you.

I've used a straight razor for many years and I have to say, this is a big improvement. I'm not knocking my straight razor, it's my lack of ability at honing a really sharp edge time after time. The fault is mine, not my razor. I searched through several of these barber replaceable razors and I finally chose the "urwunder". It costs more than the others, but I really like that blade being held by 4 pins = there is no way the blade can fall out. The other razors count on 2 pins to align the blade and the grip of the locking latch to hold the blade. Since I have used a straight razor for years, it was a very easy adjustment to use the "urwunder". It is lighter than a straight razor, no "hunk of steel" blade. The single edge is extremely SHARP!! Like all razors, you are not just shaving hair, you are also exfoliating some skin. That is extremely true of this razor - it's a very, very close shave = make sure to have some skin lotion available after your shave. You'll need to moisturize because the newly exposed skin will be a little sensitive.

Great quality design. It feels sturdy and feels good in the hands. I just started learning how to use a straight edge razor so I’m still pretty green but as far as razors, this feels nice.

I love the weight and balance of the razor! Very comfortable to hold. I really like the handle and stainless steel blade holder. I’ve been shaving with a straight razor for a long time but recently dropped it on a tile floor and the blade shattered. I thought I’d give one of these a try... glad I did! The leather case is a nice touch also and will be nice when I travel. All in all, I’m very satisfied with this razor.
