Butterfly Open TTO Double Edge Metal Safety Razor Wet Shaving Kit for Men Women with Platinum Blade and Mirrored Travel Case BD179

I can't say this is better or worse than other razors on the market, but I absolutely love this one! I've never had a safety razor and so spent a lot of time reading reviews and researching before I decided on this one. The deciding factor for me was price. Seemed that the reviews were good and the cost was low enough to take a chance on something I've never even used before. I'm very pleased with this razor. Don't even know where to start. I guess first of all, it is built like a battleship. Solid and free of any defects that I can see. It doesn't seem flimsy in any way. You twist it open and put a blade in it, twist it closed and it is a work of art. The blade stays put and doesn't move around at all. There's more chrome on this thing than a '57 Chevy! The top blade covers are smooth as silk. Makes me want to go shave just talking about it. I won't waste your time telling you how to use this razor, it's pretty easy to figure it out on your own, but it is a different kind of experience. My advise would be to take it slow and let the razor do the work. In other words, don't use much force on it. Just let it glide and do it's thing. I haven't had any issues with it yet, but I know this thing can, and will, HURT you if not used properly. Get top quality blades. There is a blade that comes with it, but I found others that seem to work a lot better. They are inexpensive and reusable as well. What ever works best for you. I also recommend you keep the case it comes in. It is an excellent place to store the razor whether you are traveling or just putting it away after use. Funny thing about the case is that it comes with a "HD" mirror! I read that in the manual or somewhere, and got a chuckle out of that. HD mirror, lol. All this time I've only been using standard def, who knew?

Great razor! As someone that used to buy replacement 3/5 blade versions for super high costs - this butterfly safety razor is great. A pack of 100 replacement blades is $10 here! They are not proprietary blades, just use normal straight razor refills. Easy to open the butterfly and replace.

Smooth shave. Easy to disassemble to clean. Lightweight. Nice razor. Works well on my thick hair.

Convenient twist to open. It seems very precisely made. I took a star off bc the opening is a little squeaky. The weight and balance are just fine and the handle length seems perfect for my average hands. I also have experience with the Merkur 34C which is heavier and maybe slightly more aggressive and with the Merkur 1904, which is lighter and less aggressive. Both Merkurs are shorter than this razor, though I did not mind that. With the Baili I have gotten close, efficient, comfortable, and bloodless shaves with Feather and Astra blades so far. I would recommend it. I think it may be available on Amazon under a different name at this time.

I have been using this razor for 4 years. I had another one just like it for 2 years but i lost it. So sux years total using this kind of razor from this store. It is so great! I am a woman so in the very beginning i had to be careful because it’s heavier than a plastic razor and easier to nick your ankles. The other day i was in Target with my husband and he was buying plastic razors. Still! He likes that kind. But i realized how i haven’t had to think about razors in years! I bought enough blades to last the rest of my life when i got my first razor. The savings! Plastic razors are even more expensive now. The smugness of knowing i am not throwing away all these years of plastic razors! Get one. Find the kind of blades you like. Be free!!

Great razor for a great price

exactly as advertised

Barber everyday works great

Not sure. Build quality ok but I get less irritation since I swapped for a Parker razor using the same blades.

La maquinilla tiene una construcción sólida, había probado otra de tipo mariposa en este mismo rango de precio y era muy difícil alinear bien la navaja al cerrar el mecanismo, pero con esta Baili a la primera quedo la navaja derecha y con la misma salida a ambos lados. Es de agresividad baja así que es apta para principiantes. La cuchilla incluida no es muy buena, es recomendable ponerle otra de mejor calidad

Wahnsinn. Ein riesen Unterschied. Ich hatte eher eine Hassliebe zu Hobeln. Der wilkinson classic in schwarz war okay, der Edwin Jagger dann seit einigen Jahren mein Eigen und recht gut, aber teilweise schon immer etwas schwierig, hatte ihn nur einmal pro Woche im Einsatz. Aber mit dem baili, dem hochgelobten, der wohl letztes Jahr als isana von rossmann verkauft wurde und nicht mehr erhältlich ist, mit dem war meine erste Rasur gerade ganz anders. Mal schauen wie dann die nächsten Wochen werden, aber, ich bin da guter Dinge. Hatte vorher schon geschaut ob ich den woanders günstiger kriegen kann, da ich sehr oft bei a-express bestelle, aber hierüber ist es h nur etwas teurer, aber dafür sofort da. Bin begeistert.

great item i get great shave.
