WEISHI Butterfly Open Double Edge Safety Razor for Men, Nostalgic Long Handle with 5 Stainless Razor Blades, Reusable Wet Shave Tool for Smooth, Close Shave

My dad always used an electric shaver, I think that was the status symbol of the 50's 60's & 70's... I tried one but never really liked and really feel that they are not worth the exorbitant amount of money charged for a small electric device that has not changed in basic design since the 1950's. My mother actually used a Safety razor to shave her legs and that is the only experience I had with one, seeing it on the vanity as a kid but never using one. When not using the electric razor (i.e. most of my life) I used the common disposable plastic multi-blade razors or the more expensive refillable variety. I always had a huge issue with the clogging of these little cheap devices and with the ridiculous price charged for either ($36 for 5 refill blades? really?) . I also felt that they would dull to unusable condition within 4 or five shaves. So I decided to go Back to the Future to try a safety razor with single blades. I first tried a cheap one that I found at a Dollar Tree Store, figured that for $1.25 I would get a shave and see if I liked how it performed. I did like it (Mainly because it did not clog up like the cheap plastic variety of disposable multi-blade razors. I did not like how the head opened as it was inconvenient to clean or change blades (But for a buck, what did I expect - right?) Searching Amazon, I found this WEISHI Safety Razor Double Edge Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Open Razor on sale for about $12 and then found a 100 pack of blades for like $7 in effect giving me a razor and the ability to shave for over 2 years for $20 bucks. Compare that to your Drugstore razor isle! I am very impressed with the quality of my purchase. The butterfly functions easily and reliably which make loading a new blade or cleaning up after a shave a breeze. (Something you can hardly do without a firehose of pressure on multi blade disposables. Actually shaving is just what you think it should be. Simply use the weight of this safety razor and glide it down your skin or up your neck. I have yet to get a cut or a nick and the actual shaves are much closer than any multi blade disposable I have ever used. The term "Like a baby's bottom" comes to mind... So if you are here reading this long review about a simple age old device, first patented by Gillett in 1904, just buy one and try it. It's worth $20 to see if you can tons of money and end up with a better shave than you are used to. I also do not believe there to spending much more than what I did for this WEISHI Safety Razor Double Edge Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Open Razor, there is no need to even look at the $60 versions as I cannot imagine that they work any better than the WEISHI.

This is the 3rd time I bought this razor. I lost the first one and the second one as well when I moved. That’s my bad. I decided to upgrade and ordered the chieftain razor and while it looked nice it was clearly used as the words had faded and there was a small hair stuck in the bottom of it. I then really needed a razor and bought a cheap van set Hagen razor, which tbf looked like it could get the job done but it had a like thick scratch where the chrome was rubbed off and I didn’t want to be using it and accidentally get rust from that spot jammed into my potential wound. I just thought I need to get what I know works and shows up in good shape and got this one. Usually I do the regular chrome but I like this color. It is literally just a basic a razor as you can get but it is a good razor. Easy to use, good presentation in its little box, comes with blades. It is not particularly heavy but it also isn’t noticeable light. This is a razor to get the job done easily, consistently, well and on the cheap because the blades are a great price and you can get a good sized pack and use a new one each time. It’s not a showing off razor exactly but it looks good too. Just not extra like the chieftain which is nice and heavy but has reviews, some with pictures, of people accidentally mailing themselves. Also don’t forget you don’t push down with any safety razor, let it’s weight do the work.

This razor design is/was before my time, the more I use it, the more I am confused why we got away from it. I saw all these posts on reddit and online cautioning me I would hack my face all up. I have yet to have any cuts or even razor burn. If you have a new blade in this it really starts to make the 2,4,5 blade systems feel dumb. This is a great shave. I can use dry or wet (I like to shave in the shower and finish up out). I LOVE the weight, It has this great balance even with a shorter handle. If you just light pressure, it handles naturally and let it do the work. I have been around knives all my life so maybe I am just comfortable around the blade/edge geometry and use, balance etc. but it just feels right.

This is a very good razor. If you are concerned about durability, as I write this review it is October 2025. I actually bought this razor in July of 2016. I have kept it in my shower most of this time. This razor, just broke after over 9 years. For what I paid, I couldn't be more impressed. I would have sworn that I have only had it a few years but time flies. So why is my review 4 stars instead of 5? Well I bought a replacement razor that was twice the price as this one. The shave quality of the more expensive razor is night and day different than this razor. I have used Astra Platinum blades for probably 15 years now. With the same exact blade in the new razor, it doesn't even feel like I am shaving. It's crazy. By comparison, this WEISHI razor is far less smooth with the same blades. I never really had an issue with it before, it's just that I never knew what I was missing. For the money, it is going to be very hard to find a butterfly open razor that will last you nearly 10 years. If you have the money to spend on a more expensive razor and you are curious if that will equate to a better shave, it very well could. I assumed a razor is a razor, I owned a Lord brand before this that was super basic but wanted a Butterfly after I cut my finger changing a blade with the Lord. I didn't notice a difference in shave quality going from the Lord to the WEISHI. However from the WEISHI to the Viking, it's night and day.

Sin duda un gran regalo para brindar y compartir con alguien más, excelente 👌 , es justo lo que esperaba. Y lo mejor los materiales y la precisión con la que está hecho, para rendir por muchos años 😃😃😃😃, ¡¡¡soy feliz!!!

Es una excelente opción para depilar sin estar comprando rastrillos de plástico, no hay mayor dificultad en hacerlo con esto, cumple su función muy bien, y el color está hermoso

Safety razors are great, they cause less irritation than multi blade but are easier to use than straight razors. I really like this one, its solidly made and very easy to use. I still prefer the straight razor but when I just need a shave and dont want spend 20 minutes on it then this is the absolute winner.

It's my first razor of this kind so I have nothing to compare it to. I purchased it because people were saying it was more sustainable than plastic razors and also because I got tired of paying nearly 40$ for 4 cartridges of blades that barely last. I only used it once but I can already tell it's well invested money; my legs have never felt this smooth in a while, it's also awesome for the bikini area since it gives you a closer shave. You do have to be carefull not to get cut but it was much easyer that I would have expected! The color is stuning, I really love it. The razor also have a nice heavy weight which makes it feel more expenssive, it's small enought for travels. Also it arrived within 24 hours after ordering which I'm so happy about!
