  • It takes a little bit longer at first, but not really. Make sure the blade is sharp and replace it if not, keep tension on the skin, and let the weight of the razor do most of the work without putting extra pressure on. I’ve let others try mine (with a new blade for hygiene) and they’ve managed just find without slicing their face up.

    I recommend a more traditional shaving soap over squirty foam, but that’s a lot more personal preference. I’d also strongly advise a good after shave moisturiser to reduce razor burn, a lot of cartridge style include a thin strip of it (which actually make shaving more difficult as it’s slippy), obviously a safety razor doesn’t have space for one so a little bit of manual cream application is advised, plus it smells nice.

    If in doubt though, there’s dozens of articles and videos on it.










  • I’ll preface them by saying this is me being critical of it, it is otherwise very good:

    • the bellows don’t stay attached, everytime I take the lid off to put beans in I have to reattach them in place
    • grind adjustment dial is obscured by the indicator such that you can’t read what it’s set to easily
    • adjustment indicator can itself be moved without changing grind size
    • bellows tend to blow the fresh grounds everywhere, especially the fines at the end
    • as a leftie, the switch is in an irritating position
