" ... My husband loves this razor ... "
" ... I had two shaves with my Chieftain and just finished a terrific first shave using my new Junior Edition . ... "
" ... Close smooth shaves. ... A perfect razor. ... "
" ... Great travel razor! ... The average price of a good quality stainless steel and replated vintage razor I’ve purchased is usually around $200 and up so this was definitely a bargain. ... "
" ... First safety razor after years of electric shaving, and the first shave went well, particularly for low skills. ... Next several shaves were great. ... If I ever need another razor, Vikings Blade is where I will start. ... "
" ... I LOVE this razor. ... Once I got used to the angle I needed to use, this is by far the closest and smoothest shave I’ve ever had. ... Can’t recommend this razor highly enough. ... "
" ... I was a little concerned about shaving with the chieftain jr was worried that it might cut my face up .Hey works awesome gives a very close shave it’s a awesome product would highly recommend it ... "
" ... I am very happy with this razor. ... "

" ... I got on the expensive razor path as a young man and never thought of moving back to this double edge style. ... Now I'm back to my senses and to safety razors. ... "
" ... It's a mild razor that is perfect for a beginner with a thinner beard. ... "
" ... I have soft facial hair and sensitive skin so it made sense for me to use the two mild razors offered by Vikings Blade. ... I have been using Wilkinson Classic blades and have had nothing but close shaves with no cuts. ... "
" ... Needless to say their razor cut and nicked me every time no matter how careful I tried to go about using the razor ... "
" ... Generally the weight of the razor is enough to get the job done. ... "
" ... My skin is VERY sensitive and the cartridge razors would pull and nick my skin causing a lot of irritation and ultimately breakouts and ingrowns. ... "
" ... It's just so much more convenient that way - my face is already wet, my beard has already been softening in the steam the whole time, and it saves the extra time and messy hassle of having to do it over the sink. ... But without a single cut or scrape, the next time I shaved I went a little faster, then a little faster after that, so that by the time I was on my 5-6th shave, I was back to my normal time. ... "
" ... Cuts a lot closer than the single blade disposable blades I buy to prevent razor bumps. ... "

" ... The chief JR is weighted and has a great feel. ... "
" ... Great build with quality materials. ... "
" ... Is sturdy, well built, and I would 100% buy it again. ... "
" ... The great thing about this handle is that even though it's on the inexpensive end, the construction quality is really good. ... Being made if brass makes a big difference. ... "
" ... I also like the heft and aesthetic better, I'm pretty sure this is brass rather than stainless steel but it does do the job just as well and brass is a step above pot metal. ... "
