VIKINGS BLADE The Emperor Adjustable Safety Razor (Frosted Chrome)

The FIRST thing to consider while using this item is that, you should not be in a hurry to do that 2 minute shave, splash and leave for the day.For that - use a Philishave.Relax.Organize your blades, shaving brush, shave cream, warm water, antiseptic solution, etc.Let the first brush strokes wet the stubble first. It will loosen the skin and make the hair soft.After a rich lather up, use a medium setting of 4-5 and gently let the weight of the razor fall on the skin and with a good blade (I use 7 o'clock super platinum) with a few repeated strokes, the results are bound to be excellent.Again, one should not hurry.The habit of taking a long swipe with the cartridge razor from top to bottom of the face will not work for swivel butterfly systems, and this piece is genuinely a master of its art.I refrained from writing a review till I had used it for about a month at least, and with this experience I can say that it does take some time to get used to.First of all - as with automatic watches and fountain pens, this is a vintage product. I repeat, one should not hurry.Relax and enjoy the leisurely comfort (almost an indulgence) of A-1 grade shaving.I have another Viking Emperor - the MEIJI edition (Vintage Bronze and Raven Black) and I use it in another city where I have a parallel establishment.Both these products need to be handled with care and due diligence - much like a coveted TAG or the Seamaster Professional.....so it is, with these razors.Welcome to elegant shaving - I am thoroughly satisfied, and will use due discretion to decide, whom, among my friends and relatives, should I gift these items to, when I purchase again.And yes, surely I will.... Thank you!!

All parts where loose, not proper alignment of bottom plate, caused bleeding while using, Seller asking me to contact brand which is impossible from India to America.. But Amazon Customer Support fixed the problem and initiated Refund, happy now after struggling for 1 week.. Becareful while buying products from overseas based on youtube videos and online reviews..

Not a good one. The razor is not good and the angles are very agressive that can be caused of cut skin. The simple razors are better than this. I have purchased with a hope but could not fulfilled. Cost is also high. I never suggest to buy this.

Unfortunately, we have purchased this product and it is damaged and not functioning. This seems to be non returnable item and could not find it.
