Van der Hagen Safety Razor with 5 Razor Blades

Bad handle, bad balance, bad mechanics. Rusted shut in a month. Don’t waste your money.

Coated with toxic PTFE. It's ridiculous that the brand actually lists this as a feature of the product as if it's a good thing. The main reason I sought to by a safety razor was to avoid plastic razor coatings, which are found on all disposable razors.

Safety razors are not the same thing as catridge razors, and 100% have a bit of a learning curve if you've only ever used the latter. I'd say they're easier to cut yourself with, but they've also given me a closer shave than I've gotten with cartridge razors before, so it's a trade-off for sure. I've never had issues with rusting, but that may be because I don't leave my razor in the shower. The handle is a little shorter than I'd like it to be, but I've found it to be manageable.

ok........................ goohddddddddddd

I always like these safety razors and wanted to try out this brand as the ones on Amazon tend to rust easily. I didn’t have any problems with rusting but I do keep it out of reach of running water and sitting upright. I didn’t have so much a problem with the blades I think they’re great. But so much with the design of the razor, it’s a cool concept with the twist open top to insert a new blade. I feel though as if the blade is so far back that it can’t grab any of the hairs you try to shave. I didn’t have any of that problem with the Amazon ones I was always able to get a nice clean shave. The only other problem I had to was the handle was so tiny and I’m a 5foot woman and it seemed to miniature for my hands idk how this is a men’s razor.

Horrible razor, do not buy

Works nicely on my sensitive skin

It’s just ok I perfer a handle with little more length and the blades are not very sharp

My husband loves this razor! It has held up for awhile now!

Great for the price, and nice having such a cheap replacement blade. It’s very gentle but I always found it to clog up where the supports are. Just upgraded to a better adjustable razor that’s not a butterfly mechanism and is much better. However, for the price this can not be beat.

These razors are great, doing more research on them I find that cleaning and drying them is a must after use, or you have to pay the price of rust and not being able the change the blade. Overall gives a shorter cleaner cut then a typical plastic blade, the handle may be more expensive but the blades last a long time(if you make sure to clean and dry after use) and are cheap to refill.

After a week it preformed great, until the turning mechanism seized up and I couldn't change the blade. I tried to fix, however was unsuccessful and pitched it in the garbage. So sad, thank you Target.

I went to change a blade but it's broken, one of the little locking nubs broke off the razor after about a month.

The handle showed visible signs of rust within 10 days and rusted completely shut within three weeks. I also got multiple cuts every time I shaved. I thought it was just me getting used to a safety razor. I’ve replaced it with a Merkur, and I’ve had zero cuts.

It’s very sharp and smooth without causing problems

The screw mechanism inside has rusted shut in less than 3 months.

Clean shave every time. Very impressed with razor blades and how affordable it is to replace. Blades are sharp but you do feel light tug but im sure there are other blades you can use with this safety razor. Or maybe im just used to mach 3 blades. Disposing of razors is easy. It takes practice and patience to master a clean cut free shave.

After shaving with this razor I still get lots of cuts covering my neck. My wife got a long cut in her leg using this the first time. I thought because this razor is so widely available it would just an good shave. I asked around and found this is a very aggressive razor. I spend more on a nicer safety razor, the Leaf Twig, and after a week I haven't had one cut and neither has my wife. Look for safety razors with a "mild" smooth shave. Far too many have an aggressive shave with no warning.

Gave this multiple tries, and I keep regretting it. After my last safety razor broke, I switched to this one. It might work on facial hair, but I have to make multiple passes on my legs to get them smooth. Don’t use this on any sensitive areas with more course hair. Trust me. Will be throwing this away and switching to something different ASAP.

Sorry for the weird picture. Well, wanted to try a new razor for once, this looked intriguing, i usually use the Harry's razors which work fantastic. Blade was about as sharp as a pillow and cut me with out me realizing it u til i was done shaving.
