What critics and buyers say, by feature.
“I would say it leans towards mild to medium in aggressiveness, though!”— Shaving Advisor
“this occasion with the lined handle version, and while I felt some grip, its grip is not quite as good as the barley engraved”— Shaving Advisor
“Lined -- This provides some grip while keeping the attractive chrome finish appearance.”— Shaving Advisor

What owners single out
In their words
“I've been using this razor for some time now and I must tell you, I was someone who dreaded shaving for so long as it would require "nik stix", washrags and waiting for the blood to dry before I could put on a dress shirt. Then I switched to using this razor with Astra (green box) blades and have had nothing but the best shaves, no cuts, no razor bumps and the joy of having a wonderful shave, 2nd ”

“After shaving with Gillette three blades for most of my life and always getting ingrown hairs I decided to try a safety razor. Apart from a few cuts my face feels much better, and no more redness, itchiness or pain as my beard grows. Only problem with this razor is the handle gets slippery when wet so I’d recommend one with more grip. Feels much better to be using less plastic too.”
