Victorian Safety Razor with Black Handle

The screw mechanism really is top-notch — blades click in and out without any fuss, and that black handle has a nice heft that makes shaving feel like a ritual. Swapping in a fresh double edge blade took me all of ten seconds the first time.

I was a little nervous about changing blades on a vintage-style razor, but the screw mechanism is so smooth and precise that it takes about ten seconds. The black handle feels sturdy enough to last for years, and I've gotten a noticeably closer shave than with the cartridge ones I used to buy.

The black handle has a nice weight to it, and the screw top threads on smoothly every time—no fuss swapping blades. It shaves close without irritation, and honestly, it looks sharp sitting on my sink.
