I mostly focused on feeling comfortable with the razor rather than shooting for the perfect shave, which paid off given the rate of daily improvement I experienced.

I felt clumsy at first, which is to be expected, but each shave improved and I can see how, with a few weeks of regular use, that shaving with the Razorine will feel easy and natural. I did not find the razor hard to handle, but I did struggle at first to find a natural grip, especially when switching hands (easy to turn over the razor and try to shave with the wrong side). The handle design looks cool, but is also quite thin and can be a touch slippery when soapy. The razor really only shaves in a narrow sweet spot, so if you turn or angle the head too much, you just don't cut any hair. The top of the top cap is curved, and that makes it easy to put the razor on your skin and angle it slightly to get to the right angle. The safety bar design of the base plate changes the feel of the razor head significantly, because you don’t have to deal with a naked edge at all.

There is a fair bit of blade exposure, and there is a bit of blade chatter because the blade is flat. The base plate and top cap are flat, which means that the blade is also completely flat in the razor head. The head design is entirely flat, and (at least in my case) the two pieces fit together cleanly and smoothly. The razor consists of two pieces: one piece made up of a long thin handle with the base plate, and a top cap along with a screw to attach the two pieces. The design relies on a full DE blade rather than a shavette blade or half of a DE blade. The shavette is really quite different from ones I have used previously. Razorine all-brass shavette Razorine offered to send me a razor to review, and then sent me two! I received both the brass and the chromed versions of their shavette I will keep the brass one and include the chromed one in a future giveaway. I bought the Chatillon Lux aftershave toner with my own money I bought the Le Pere Lucien soap with my own money
