Rapira Swedish Supersteel Double-Edge Safety Razor

Look past the blister packaging & pitted finish and you’ll find a hefty weighted, nimble-handled medium aggression razor you might just feel bad about losing from a missing checked bag. It has the audible feedback I like in my razors and the thin head (Gillette tech) is perfect for getting under the nose & profiling a goatee. All the other bloke reviews below tells you all you need to know about this affordable, very able piece of hardware. IB is a pleasure to do business with. Michael & Joseph bring the gear!!

The head shave is the CELLA Milano Extra Extra Purissima with Rapira razor and Rapira blade with Old Spice Classic. Mild every day shave with tallow. Two 1000Ml of soap, 1200 blades and one Rapira razor, one bottle of Old Spice and I am good for half a decade.

Was ordering gifts and thought to throw one of these in just for kicks. I deserve a gift too after all. What a surprise! Shaves every bit as comfortable and close as high end expensive razors. Blade alignment is spot on. Weight is on the light side, but does not require any pressure to compensate. Shaved with the included blades at zero pressure, very short strokes, and came out near bbs with 2 passes. Could have done some slight touch ups, but definitely didn't need to. 4 shaves in, zero irritation, and a smile ear to ear. Proof that if you actually want to save money in shaving supplies, you don't have to sacrifice quality results. Another great addition to my collection, or maybe obsession would be more accurate. Highly recommend. Buy it and try it for less than a cup of Starbucks coffee. It will surely give a better start to your day.

Curious about this razor since I like the blades that Rapira makes. Figured it would be lightweight but I’d at least get a pack of blades. Amazingly, just got a great shave with it (2 passes). Very well built with solid handle.

IB had this on a Deal of the Day sale recently at a ridiculously low price, so I tossed it in with my soap order. I wasn't really expecting much, but figured at that price I really didn't have much to lose.

Well, was I pleasantly surprised! It has a Tech-style head and good heft to the handle. It looks to be nickel-plated; yellower and not as shiny as a chrome finish, but decent.

With the blade in, there's a fair bit of blade exposure and blade gap; I figured I'd be in for a rough ride. But with the two shaves I've had so far - the first with an Astra SP (the blade I always use for a first shave with a new razor) and then with one of the Rapira SS blades that came with it, I've gotten great, comfortable BBS shaves.

The razor is more mid aggression than mild, but I like that. It gives me better, more comfortable shaves than some razors that I paid a lot more for. It's now in my rotation.

So if you're thinking at all about buying this, I say add it to your cart. If you don't like it you won't be out much... but if you do, like me you'll be thinking you got quite the bargain!
