Misunderstood

To clarify for some buyers: Most of the Focus R21 replaceable blade razors have a plastic insert that grips the blade quite well. That is what I intended to review previously, but it got placed under this item. The plastic inserts work very well. I would not have respected this razor because of its metal blade holder. It is identical to my original Shavette type razor that is a $10 Magic razor purchased from Sally's. That razor wasn’t working out so well, so I started experimenting with Fromm, Dovo, Focus R21 with plastic holders, etc. I even own a few older real straight razors made in Solingen. And I have gotten pretty good at straight razor shaving. When I saw that Focus was making this razor with the metal insert and the edges exposed, I went back and tried the rejected Magic razor. It works out just fine. And I much prefer the plastic handle (scales) to the heavy steel ones. The steel scales throw the razor off balance on me. My thought is that it’s the practice that goes into the shaving, not so much the razor nor the blade. And this was after 3 years of straight razor use (and 42 years of wet shaving). I could have avoided a lot of money buying different razors and blades and stuck with my first choice, but then the experience was fun. My advice is to buy a razor and give it some time, at least a few months, before you judge it. Please always go slowly. Even now when I get rushed, cuts do occur. (I can’t understand any of these reviews where a guy didn’t even use the razor yet, and he is writing a review) Happy shaving!

Great entry level shavette

Very nicely made, completely steel construction except for plastic tang. Would highly recommend as a good first shavette to use with regular DE blades.

FOCUS R21

Was very disappointed, when i received my Focus R21..It's the inferior model with the metal insert , Instead of the better plastic insert. That is easier to load a blade and holds that blade in place much more securely. And also covers the blade ends, to reduce nicks and cuts. I'm will not use this model. I plan on returning or exchanging it..😒

Very good

This is a great razor. Being so surprised at how much better it was than the cheap Master Barber that it replaced, I got careless and slashed myself.

Good starter shavette

Purchased this beautifully crafted brush for my dad to celebrate his 93rd birthday. He has a nice head of white hair and was desperately in need of a new brush. He was thrilled with the look and feel of his new brush!

Excellent formulation. Great, persistent lather. Scent somewhat unusual, but nice and interesting. Scent does not linger long on the face after shaving. Great value.

This particular comb, however, is a touch above even other high-quality horn combs. It doesn't have the pungent animalic smell of other brands, though it clearly is real horn. The fit-and-finish of every element is top notch. The spacing of the comb tines is just right; it adjusts hair as much as one wants while gliding smoothly and not pulling at all. The weight is solid enough to make sure the comb will last a long time, while not being burdensome to hold. The size is the perfect middle-ground between too small to be of effect, and too large to comfortably handle. Lastly, it's a beautiful comb fit for display.

This is my favorite shave cream.Strong smokey scent. May not be for everyone but I use it in my Dirty Bird Scuttle and add a tiny bit of water to mix up a batch of hot lather.

Beautiful razor base stand. If I’m nitpicking it’s so much larger than most. It really stands out, and kinda doesn’t blend with the rest of the stands in my razor collection. But functionally it’s perfect.

Ideal for shorter hair and Garibaldi beard. The impressive things are the quality materials and the way it distributed natural oils. Flakes are gone.

This is a great brush. I think the soft bristles are perfect for relatively short hair and my Garibaldi beard. The big revelation is the way it distributed natural oils. My dry scalp and beard is eliminated. No flakes.

I hope I’m not jumping the gun on this, having only used it twice but if you’re looking for a good (aggressive) body brush I would recommend this one. I intentionally went for a hard brush and am well pleased with this.

I've had boar from different manufacturers, (I currently own 5) a very highly touted synthetic, a best badger, and now this black badger. It's a great brush. Big knot with a low loft, that strikes a nice balance of backbone and give. It's also a very nice looking brush. The black badger hair contrasts nicely with the rest of the brush. Quality handle, nicely balanced, and I don't think I lost a single bristle on my first shave. No smell out of the box, or wet. Maybe a faint wood or cardboard smell as it dries. Nothing off-putting. All that said, I've decided that I'm a boar guy. Badger hair is too prickly for me, and has too much give. Like a prickly cotton ball. Boar has scritch, but it seems more gentle (I assume bristle diameter is the difference), and nearly goes away altogether once broken in. I couldn't deduct any stars because of my personal preferences. This is a fantastic brush. It's worth $25 for display purposes alone.

I have been using one of these brushes for a few years now. It is very soft and produces a good lather. I prefer synthetic hair over actual badger hair. I have observed little to no hair loss from the brush.
