VIKINGS BLADE Safety Razor for Women + 5 Swedish Steel Blades. Quick Release Head, Double Edge. Smooth, Reusable, Recyclable (Model: Eva)

Genuinely cannot recommend this enough! Best, safest, and closest razor/shave ever. I have fine hair. I literally did not know it was possible for my legs to be this soft. Weighted razor and very safe to use!! Yay for stainless steel with no microplastics!

I hate shaving! Who doesn't? I mean, it's a daily chore that, frankly I could do without! I find it interesting that companies who try to make money on that grind, like to refer to it as an "art". Like "let's go back to the nostalgic art of wet shaving!" What a crock! Just give me a razor so I can get this crap off my face! Recently when the manufacture of the razor I'd been using for years stopped making my twin-blade cartridges in favor of a 3 or 7-blade (seriously?) replacement that cost more than twice as much, I started shopping around and came across the rebirth of these old safety razors -- they're just like the ones I remember my dad using in the 70's! I watched several YouTube videos and read plenty of reviews before I finally decided to try them out. I bought this Viking razor because it was cheap, it's supposed to be intended for newbies like me, and it had good reviews. I paired it with a sleeve of 100 Falcon blades, a Viking shaving brush and a generic shaving bowl. The next morning I used them. First of all, should probably point out that I shave in the shower as the last part of my shower routine -- been doing it for years. It's just so much more convenient that way - my face is already wet, my beard has already been softening in the steam the whole time, and it saves the extra time and messy hassle of having to do it over the sink. I have a steam-proof mirror that suctions to the wall of the shower that has a little razor holder on the bottom which makes it crazy convenient. My first time shaving with this new razor took a LONG time! I was super careful to keep the angle of the head right (30-45 degrees) and gingerly took lots of small, short strokes. When I was done, I thought it was one of the closest shaves I'd ever had - but at what cost? It easily took more than twice as long to get the job done (does this mean I'm I destined to become a shaving artist, then?). But without a single cut or scrape, the next time I shaved I went a little faster, then a little faster after that, so that by the time I was on my 5-6th shave, I was back to my normal time. Change in anything takes a time to get used to - especially when you interrupt a routine you could normally do in your sleep, like shaving! I've now used the razor more than a dozen times and I'm only on my second blade that cost all of eleven cents, yet has provided me with wonderfully close shaves! I'm completely sold and not going back, sorry Gillette. As for the brush and bowl - well, they went back to Amazon. They just weren't for someone who had no time or was unwilling to make the chore of shaving an art. The badger brush (apparently if you're going to shave like an artist, your brush must be crafted from actual badger hair) was scratchy and the whole swirling thing in the bowl incessantly just seemed unnecessary and frankly, it took too long. When I shave, I use Noxema because shaving creams and soaps really dry out my skin, so at the risk of offending wet shaving aficionados who have nothing better to do than to dream about tomorrow morning's stare in the mirror, I just grab a little clump of Noxema, lather it up directly on my face with my HANDS (scandalously barbaric, I know) then get down to business. Bottom line: For me, this razor coupled with Falcon blades provides A VERY close shave in the same amount of time as it takes with an expensive multi-blade cartridge, but at a FRACTION of the cost.

I've tried several different DE razors in my life. All have been fairly mid until I tried this one. I have been using it for 2.5 years now without any issues. It used to be called VIKINGS BLADE The Chieftain JR Double Edge Safety Razor, Meteorite Gray, so I'm guessing this is still the same product, not sure why it's for women suddenly as I'm a man & love this razor. The first great thing I noticed was the weight, it is very heavy which is what you want in a DE razor so you don't have to push or force it at all. The next thing was the grippy handle which is easy to manipulate even with soapy wet hands(I use soap to shave my face/head not cream). My only issue, which I'm sure is universal with DE razors, is the micro cuts when shaving my head. Our heads are fairly spherical & I am convinced, especially after reading reviews on ALL the highest rated DE razors out there, that it's just something none of them can really do properly. In 2 years I've NEVER had a single nick on my face or neck with this razor, but my scalp must just be vulnerable. I used multi-blade disposable razors before & rarely had head bleeds but even with those they do happen. A lot of reviews of other razors mention things like the razor not fitting the blade on correctly/symmetrically, the tightening screw wearing out after a year, breaking when being dropped, etc. but this razor is built tough, the razor always fastens down securely & tightly & although I haven't dropped mine this thing is metal AF & I highly doubt it'd break from something so minuscule. TL;DR: If all you need to shave is your face, absolutely get this razor. If you're a woman or want to shave your head with this, do so at your own risk but that'll be true for all DE razors no matter how "safe" or German they are.

OMGGG i LOVE this razor so much!! she’s beautiful!!! her name is Eva 😝 she’s my fav color and i’ve heard lots of great things about her. Hopefully no ingrown hairs. That’s why i invested into this. Also because the multi blade plastic cartridges are not eco friendly and they always leave me with those stubborn ingrown hairs!! Really looking forward to this! There’s a learning curve but once you get the hang of it it’s wonderful

I got into wet shaving about two years ago. I watched a bunch of "how to" videos and I figured that I was ready to go. I purchased this razor after reading lots of recommendations for it. Sadly my results were rather bloody. I did not yet realize that the wet shaving technique was a bit different from standard shaving and my lack of skill resulted in many cuts. Thinking it was the razor, I moved on to other types of safety razors and tried again. This time I had better success with two & three piece razors. Time passed and my skill grew. For the last two years I have been shaving with Merkurs & Jaggers. I decided to try the Chieftain Jr again and I am glad that I did. With a little bit of care, the Chieftain Jr shaves very smoothly and comfortably. I do have to say that it is a little more aggressive than my Merkur 34c. It is very simple to operate, and paired with an Astra blade my shave is actually closer than I get with the my other razors. In fact I can easily go a day in between shaves without any trouble. Also the Chieftain Jr is solidly built and it will last a lifetime. My earlier bad experience was due to my lack of skill and not the razor. I recommend the Chieftain Jr whole heatedly !! You do need a little bit of skill and care to avoid cuts, so it may not be a perfect razor for beginners. But if you have been wet shaving for a while & have a good technique down, it is a great addition to your shaving rotation.

Honestly I did have some razors before this, all cartridge ones. I had a set of about 5 of them I bought last year and barely ever shaved anything more than my face. They ran out a few weeks ago and I went to walmart to pick up some replacement heads and boom 40 bucks? Seriously 40 bucks for a tiny piece of plastic and metal? What gives? I then kept looking up ones I could reuse and stuff, found out old razors in the 50s were this type. I was like maybe I should get one of these. My folks said "they'll make you cut yourself" I am like whatevs. So I weighed my options and decided to give this a try. Honestly first try I did not cut myself a SINGLE TIME, when with cartridges I always do. Good one. I ordered a sampler pack of about 100 razors of varying brands to go with this for CHEAP only like 11 bucks. Rather than 40 bucks of the bloody cartridges. I was able to shave myself easily. I decided, oh considering this razor's blades are so cheap I could shave other parts of my body just to test it, So I did, frankly does a better job than cartridges, jams less with hair, and I cut myself less. I also like the heft and aesthetic better, I'm pretty sure this is brass rather than stainless steel but it does do the job just as well and brass is a step above pot metal. I wanted quality and to give this a go, I MIGHT get another one of this brand but not sure what one. I give this Razor a 5 out of 5 cause honestly cartridges feel like crap compared to this and a ripoff. Why pay MORE for something that should cost LITTLE! In the long run this is gonna cost a LOT LESS than those cheap disposable ones. I highly recommend this!

This was my first ever safety razor. I suffered with ingrown hair and razor bumps when shaving my legs. Safety razors have eliminated this issue for me. It took a learning curve with this razor bit the metal thickness and build quality was good. I rarely nicked myself once I got the hang of it. Its been about 2 years since using this razor and is now tarnishing. I know I’ve read not to leave it in the shower, realistically most females leave their razors in the shower. I do not know if this is a normal amount of time for it start tarnishing but it seems quite wasteful to manafacture a product geared toward women that cannot be left in the shower. I have now upgraded to another brand stainless steel one and would love to see viking create a more sustainable and shower safe, safety razor in the future.

It's refreshing to see a company lay out the sourcing of their products' materials and components plainly on the package as pictured. It's by no means comprehensive, but MUCH better than most. Also, the product arrived without any unnecessary plastic packaging! Contributing to the company's claim of being eco-friendly. And while the package is not made from recycled paper, it is recyclable. As for the quality of the razor, I feel it's a good weight with good balance and study construction. I hope to get a long life out of this razor, as it shaves me good. It is an absolutely fantastic value! EDIT 08/2022: About 3 years ago (and just about a year or so after I had started using this razor) I had started getting chopped up horribly when shaving! I knew something had gone wrong and so examined it closely and noticed the wings had gone out of alignment so the blade was exposed in a way it shouldn't be. This led to some pretty gnarly cuts. So I contacted Viking, and asked what kind of warranty they had on the item. Sympathetic to my situation, they offered to send me a new razor overnight and at no cost! Who does that!? Customer service like no other! I thought I should wait a while and make sure that this problem wasn't a defect in the line or anything before updating my review, and I'm back, three years later and some 1,000 wet shaves with the replacement and it has been rock solid! Whenever people ask me about shaving I mention my Viking. Great price! Great longevity! Great customer service! I couldn't be happier.

Yo ya tenía casi 3 años con un rastrillo de seguridad chino que también compré en amazon por 180, pero al final se desoldó de la parte que atorillaba para asegurar la navaja, y me decidí a comprar este. 100% lo vale. Todo se ve y se siente de mucha mejor calidad. El mecanismo de mariposa es excelente, y el peso hace que sea más facil rasurarse. creo que en 400 pesos es el punto correcto. Hay unas de 700, 900 y 1200 pesos pero creo que ya es exagerado. La uso con navajas Dorco ST300

Used a safety razor for the first time in my life! Had always used a popular 5 blade brand for over 25 years... was surprised how smooth the shave was with this little beauty of a razor!!! I was apprehensive about cutting myself whilst shaving, but this razor was perfectly balanced and performed really well. I doubt i will ever use another multiblade razor on a regular basis again as the shaving experience with this product (in combination with a gillete double edged blade) was better and delivered a closer shave then my experiences with a multiblade razor. Highly recommend this razor for anyone wanting to start 'wet shaving' (and save a small fortune in blades!). A great product... cant wait to try out other viking blade products now!

My 1st DE razor and have enjoyed shaving with it.

This razor looks real nice and has a nice weight.

This is my first manual razor and boy I love it I currently shifted to manual one and was scared thought I might cut my skit or will have bruises all over my face but this thing was smooth and easy to use, also first time user you can use 1 blade for 3-4 shaves and wash the blade separately from the body and dry it thoroughly after use as the blade could rust if left wet for long time. Use 30 degree angle.
