Smooth, Reusable, Eco-Friendly (The Chieftain) : Beauty & Personal Care Review: Smoooooooth face is what you get - So to start off, I had been using Dorco razors for the past 8yrs or so. While I love how they feel and how easy it is to use a standard safety razor, I figured there has to be a cheaper yet better alternative. Eureka!!! Old school double-edged safety razors. I asked my Dad about them as I know he used to use them back in his youth. He told me they would always cut him and that I would be nuts to start shaving with one in this day in age. So I took his advice and bought the Dorco's once again. After about another month or so, I got the itch to try a old school razor once again and had been doing research for some time on double-edge razors and how to use them, handling techniques, etc. I finally bit the bullet and got me a Viking Chieftain as from what I had seen, would probably be a good beginner old school razor. When the Chieftain finally arrived I was honestly marveled by the fit and the polish. It looks great in my hand and is very sturdy. Plus that shine screams that I'm a classy gent. Eh or so I thought. The handle while small does give me a lot of finesse into how I use the razor. Now onto the first shave. I had purchased a badger brush and got my Cremo Shave Cream that I had been using prior to the Viking. After I worked up too much lather and coated my face so much that I looked like a brown Santa Claus, I began to shave. For those out there that aren't sure about how to shave, don't do what I did and laugh so hard that you end up with cream all over the counter because you thought it was funny to see how much lather your face could actually hold. You should have enough on to coat your face, not create peaks of creamy white goodness all over the place and then decide to style it in various ways to amuse yourself. The shave itself was phenomenal. Granted the first blades I used were the mild (more flexible and not feudal Japan Katana sharp) ones that came in the box so I could get used to the feel and master my handling technique of the blade. I had reached out to the Viking team because I couldn't master the way of the blade and they promptly got back to me and let me know that I should be using the legendary 3-fingered hold so that I may glide the blade along my face. Also be sure to let the weight of the head do the work for you. Be sure to have it at roughly a 30-degree angle too. Short strokes work best. Don't be afraid to apply more cream if you have funky patches that you have to shave in multiple angles to get smooth. After about 2 weeks of this practice-until-perfection shaving technique I had at last mastered the way of the face blade. Not only is using the Viking relaxing when I shave as it gives me time to think, but I also have noticed that my skin is less prone to irritation as was the way of the Dorcos. My skin is like a baby's butt when I finish shaving and my girlfriend loves the smoothness. I shave roughly every other day and ALWAYS use a fresh blade each time. Also once you master using the blade, definitely upgrade to much sharper ones and I would even recommend a sampler pack so you can find which blades work best for you. As there are so many, the sampler packs will help you to figure out what you like and don't like. I am now particularly fond of the Wilkinson Sword razor blades because of this. I will definitely be buying another Viking product soon. Oh and don't forget to get a stand to show off your razor and badger brush. The looks you get from family and your lady will have you feeling like a daft gent in no time, especially when they ask you what you shave with. You just tell them that you went to the Viking School of Razor. Review: Good quality razor that gives a great shave with a good quality blade - The Vikings Blade Chieftain is a very good quality razor that is solidly made and has good heft. I bought the "Vintage Bronze and Ancient Dust" model to replace an old Gillette adjustable safety razor with the same twist open mechanism. The blade angle is very good and the razor opens easily for blade changes and cleaning. It comes nicely packaged in a box with a magnetic clasp and a box of Swedish-made Viking blades. The Viking blades are low quality and grabby. I suggest you just toss them or give them to someone you don't like. I tried one of the blades for a week and it wasn't good. I swapped that blade out for a platinum coated Feather blade and immediately got a smooth, clean shave with no grabbing. If you are new to shaving, do your face a favor and buy good quality blades like Feather. Don't buy into the nonsense about "beginner blades". Cheap, dull blades will frustrate you, cut you and not make shaving the satisfying experience it should be. Pair this handle with a good blade and you won't be disappointed. ## Features - THE SMOOTHEST SHAVE for both men & women – Significantly reducing ingrown hair, skin irritations and razor burn often experienced with plastic cartridge razors, helping you finally achieve the smoothest, cleanest and closest shave. - LIFELONG DURABILITY – This classic double edge safety razor is made from solid, premium metals, thus easily lasts a lifetime. - WISE, ECONOMICAL CHOICE – Replacement blades are smoother, milder, more effective, and significantly cheaper (15x-20x) than plastic cartridges. - REUSABLE & RECYCLABLE – Unlike costly disposable cartridge razors, when you purchase this product, the entire razor and all its refill blades contains zero plastic, thus 100% reusable and recyclable. - PACKAGE CONTENT – 1 safety razor (single blade razor), 5 platinum-coated Swedish steel mild blades, 1 luxury case. This is the ideal gift or present for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentines, Father’s or Mother’s day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B011L8WJIA | | ASIN | B011L8WJIA | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,823 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #3 in Men's Safety Shaving Razors | | Brand Name | Vikings Blade | | Color | Chromium Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (17,226) | | Department | Men | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00635682602008, 09352323000030 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 3.75 x 1.75 x 1 inches | | Item Weight | 4.96 ounces | | Item model number | VB-SR1 | | Manual Shaving Razor Type | Safety Razor | | Manufacturer | Vikings Blade | | Manufacturer | Vikings Blade | | Manufacturer Part Number | VB-SR1 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | VB-SR1 | | Number of Blades | 5 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Double Edge, Not Tested On Animals, Reusable, Travel Size, Washable | | Package Type Name | Box | | Product Dimensions | 3.75 x 1.75 x 1 inches; 4.96 ounces | | Skin Type | All, Combination, Dry, Normal, Sensitive | | Style | Luxury | | UPC | 635682602008 | | UPC | 635682602008 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vikings Blade - **Number of Blades:** 5 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Special Feature:** Double Edge, Not Tested On Animals, Reusable, Travel Size, Washable - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor for Men + 5 Swedish Steel Blades + Luxury Case.

It's on the opposite spectrum because I find the merkur 34 c to be a bit mild but it's great to use after a couple shaves with the chieftain, yeah but I wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver , mix it up with some viking blade adjustables **Q: does anyone know where these are made?** A: I just purchased mine. As of 2020, this model Chieftan is different from the BAILI bd179. It's 10 grams heavier, has a thicker base plate, and has 4 lather holes on each side rather than 2 oblong ones. That's not to discount the BAILI at all. I just preferred the heftiness of the Viking. And you can get the "Odin Obsidian Black and Gold" for just a few dollars more as it's currently on sale. **Q: Where can I buy replacement blades?** A: Any double edge razor will work. I would suggest looking for a trial pack, they will give you several brands to try and you may get 3 to 5 blades per brand they ship you. It’s an easy way to try different blades to find the best match for you. Amazon carries them, they are all over the internet, eBay, etc. I got one that was like 6 dollars and I got about 6 different razor companies, that were all well known. Good luck with your adventures in shaving! **Q: What is the difference between the godfather and the chieftain razors? thanks ken from new smyrna beach fl** A: The Godfather razor is a 3 piece razor and has a long handle and is really mild, The Chieftain razor is a 1 piece butterfly razor and is a little more of a aggressive razor... thanks from a neighbor Glenn T. in Edgewater Fla, ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smoooooooth face is what you get *by D***O on July 15, 2019* So to start off, I had been using Dorco razors for the past 8yrs or so.

Pair this handle with a good blade and you won't be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Holier Grail *by J***Y on February 26, 2025* I started wet shaving with a traditional double-edged safety razor in June of last year—or rather, that was the first time I truly succeeded at it. I had experimented before with various razors, but most of them ended up shearing my face. The only one I found safe to use was the Merkur Open Comb 9104001 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R21LFY5ZNW75AS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00595BY6U). Once I got comfortable with that and my technique improved, I decided to try something just a little more aggressive. That’s when I stumbled upon the Vikings Blade Chieftain on Amazon. When I checked discussions on razor enthusiast forums like Reddit, I found the reviews to be mixed. There was some condescension towards the Vikings Blade brand, with speculation that it was just a dressed-up Baili product (but hey, isn't Apple a dressed-up Foxconn product in some sense?) but I felt that the positive reviews rang true. The brand’s presentation—while maybe a little over the top—somehow resonated with me as light-hearted pride for a good product, and I decided to go for it. Now, the Chieftain has become my daily driver. The build quality is outstanding—exceptionally solid and well-constructed. It provides a close and comfortable shave, and I almost never nick myself. That said, I do use Shark Stainless Blades, which are relatively mild, so that likely contributes to the smooth experience. Having gone from one Holy Grail to another, I think the search for the perfect razor is either never-ending excitement or pointless extravagance. I'm happy to call my Vikings Blade Chieftain a long-term solution for my simple needs: a quick, safe, effective and economical alternative to the cartridges I used before. It’s a well-made, forgiving razor that delivers a great shave, making it an excellent choice for those looking for something slightly more aggressive than an entry-level model without venturing into borderline weaponry. ## Frequently Bought Together - VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor for Men + 5 Swedish Steel Blades + Luxury Case.
