Something to note for all the ladies that might be interested in getting a safety razor: Pretty much all of the safety razors specifically marketed to women are rebranded private label manufactured razors, so chances are you can find the exact same razor for a lot cheaper if you're okay with it not having pastel coloured paint on it. (Look at Weishi, Baili, DS Cosmetics etc.) Most razors are also cast from Zamak (zinc-copper alloy) that has been chrome plated. It's a decent material and will last long if you look after it, but it can fracture or chip if dropped or knocked, since cast metals are brittle like glass. The most common breakage you'll see is the top cap's threaded post shearing clean off/having it stay behind in the handle's threads after being dropped from standing height or mishandled during shipping. Due to being cast, they can't be repaired in any way. You could replate a razor after having lost its chrome, though. In my opinion, the most underrated (and mostly unknown to women wanting to get into using a safety razor) product range out there would be Razorock's line of 100% stainless steel safety razors. (Sold on their ItalianBarber website) They cost only slightly more (around $60 to $70) than most of the razors made of Zamak and they have none of their weaknesses. Definitely the best value for money in the wet shaving market. If you already have a razor, don't sweat it, but if you're still looking to buy one, be sure to check them out. Also, one piece of advice: Wet shave. Canned foam is "dry" and filled with air that makes the experience uneven and its application doesn't prep your hair. Get some sort of brush and a shaving soap that actually lathers well. If you want vegan, PAA's CK6 formula is explosive and synthetic/horse hair brushes don't involve utilizing something from dead animals.
Thank you so much for the great review, just ordered the same razor and was looking for some reviews on youtube, u definitely gave me exactly what I wanted! P.S- Does the peeling of the top get bad overtime?
Hey! I'm glad this was helpful 😁 Yes, I peeled a little more over time, but not all the way to the inside. It has now stopped peeling. But the handle also came off after a few more uses. I still use it though after joining it back. Not sure if mine was a defective piece 🙆
Hahah yess cheers to self sponsorships 🥳 also yay! I'm glad you found it useful. I hope safety razors work out well for you too! Your videos have been really inspiring me to stay positive and productive lately 😃

Hi. Pearl Shaving on Amazon seem to have really good reviews and it is in the affordable range. Also, their razor body are all metal. I think The Woman's Company razors are a bit pricey since the handle is bamboo which shouldn't cost that much. Just letting you know, since Pearl Shaving does say their razors can be used by women.
Oo, yes I was looking at buying their razor as well. I agree, this one's pricey considering the wooden handle. Have you tried the Pearl razor? Let me know if you have 😄
@@meghlayana I haven't. I'm planning to buy them. Currently I'm using Dad's safety razor that got passed down to me. I've never had such a smooth shave in my life! I was about to buy The Woman's Company razor but realised that a bamboo handle won't last me long cuz it will come in contact with water more often. Also, try and get your hands on Gillette safety blades. They're really good. I use those.
