DE5 Safety Razor

This is my third razor after trying cheaper ones, and the vintage-inspired head design makes a huge difference—it stays at a perfect angle without me thinking about it. The machining feels precise and solid, and I’m getting noticeably fewer nicks even on my neck. It’s a keeper.

First shave this morning and the balance is spot-on—that vintage-inspired head design really does the heavy lifting, gliding through a week of growth without a single nick. The handle grip is comfortable even with wet hands, and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's routine.

The machining on this thing is flawless, and the weight in hand feels deliberate, like it was tuned by someone who actually studied the old classics. I’ve used it three times now and it’s the first razor that’s made me slow down and enjoy the ritual instead of rushing.
