Bought this razor from maggards because it was dirt cheap. 15 bucks. razor is well made, comes with a long ugly stainless steel handle. packaging from pearl is top notch. they do give you a lot of stuff for your money. you get washers, a microfiber cloth, some razor blades, and of course, the razor. The razor is extremely mild. Not efficient for me at all. I don't care for the long handle either. the thing that bothers me with pearl razors is that the channels in the razor get clogged very easily and that is with frequent rinsing after a few strokes with the razor. 15 bucks down the drain, but no big deal. The razor looks nice, the packaging that comes with the razor is top notch, but the razor itself is not efficient at all. Pearl razors are well made, but they are either too aggressive or too mild. All of the pearl de razors I have I don't particularly care for. I used them a few times and maybe I will use them in the future, but they don't wow me. Pearl handles in my opinion tend to be ugly and don't have a particularly good grip on them. I was wondering if anyone else shares these views about pearl razors. what are your thoughts on them? I love their packaging and all the extra stuff they give you, but their razors just don't wow me.
