Van der Hagen Safety Razor with 5 Razor Blades

Great razor for a close shave.

Like the product and arrived on time.

so tbh i am very satisfied with my purchase, now I will say this i did nick myself a few times but there is a learning curve to it. over all not bad and the blades are nice. 10/10

I've been using this for three months and I don't like the butterfly opening design, tightening the handle to get proper blade alignment leaves the handle loose and not secure. The handle easily loosens itself while shaving or rinsing the razor pretty much 24-7. Considering the extremely low price I can't really complain about anything else, this razor is still a excellent value. You can't just tighten to your liking and shave away as the handle loosens itself far too easily. When I tighten the handle snugly I noticed the razor blade edges being bent down and the center of the blade being bent up, the proper blade angle is completely off so it doesn't shave anything like that. Your two choices are too loose or too tight. Definitely will be upgrading soon.

awful design. there isn't enough pressure on the edges of the blades making then stick out at a different angle than the body. Didn't notice till after it cut me.

NO SAFETY in the design of this ironically named razor. The sides of the blade stick out from the body housing and leave it exposed. If this never touches you, maybe you’ll be fine, but on my first use i had the misfortune of not noticing this and lets just say i donated a lot of bl00d to my shower. I am shocked that this huge design flaw made it this far. You can actually see it in their own photos. Even though it’s the side of the blade, it is very very sharp and gave me a serious cut.

Cheap and flimsy. Leaves cuts and razor bumps . I used it and didn’t like it at all . My partner used it and he also said it was terrible !! Threw it in the trash ! I should have returned it to the store . Waste of money !

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

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.
