This is a great shavette for the price. I think it feels better made than the Parker SR1 that fell apart on me. It really forces you to have good technique and it will let you know if you get careless. If you want a straight razor style shave without all the maintenance this is a good choice. Once you get the hang of it it really gives a great shave. I can definitely recommend this shavette. And for the price of is pretty tough to pass up.
