inefficient razor that is rough to use there are much better value bargain razors out there [SEP] the acevivi razor closed comb on one side open comb on the other i think the idea is that it offers two levels of aggression the lutz slant offers a similar choice of two levels of aggressionin use i found that both sides offered about the same level of aggression another reason for the test is that it is a low cost razor under currently on amazon i am always intrigued by potential bargainsa further unusual feature is the exceptionally long handle longer than the futur longer than my mergress schick krona or even my long handled gillette starburst aimed at the ladies market longer in fact than any razor i own to some this is a plus to others not so it may be useful if ladies wish to use the razor on their legs or other parts the razor is well balanced so the long handle presented no problemthe razor comes with a box of five blades i have no idea of their origin but since the razor is chinese i expect chinathe blade used for the testi chose to use the rapira platinum lux i have found this blade to be consistent and reliable in just about every razor but there are some razors where it is an indifferent pairing say with my rr wunderbar and it is always good for at least four shaves often six in just about any razor it is sharp smooth comfortable very cheap to buy and easily available and my personal favorite of the rapira line i have also used it every de razor i own at one time or another and i own over de safety razors not my favorite blade but a very good one in most razors i used a brand new bladehow i used this razor for the testwhen using an adjustable razor and following advice from others on this forum including jim chandler plus my own long experimentation i have found the best way for the smoothest and most comfortable shave is to increase the aggression with each pass it seems counter intuitive at first but it really works best it is like lowering the blade on a lawn mower to get a closer cut i increased the aggression on each pass on this testsince this razor supposedly offered two choices of aggression i used the acevivi in this way closed comb sidefairly smooth reasonably efficient not good enough for a one pass shavesecond pass xtg open comb sidequite scratchy i could feel the blade and i did not enjoy the pass much a lost of hair remained quite disappointing not a good shave at allbuff up and j hookingi would have had to spend an age buffing and cleaning up because the beard was still quite rough and frankly my face already felt quite irritated so i did not buff with the acevivi there are limits to my testing zealfinishing the shavethe razor is well made and low in price and i admire the innovation but i cannot recommend the acevivi unless you want to get a very long handle that is well made for under it is possible that it will do better with other blades but my initial impression is that it is not really worth testing it is a fairly mild and quite inefficient razoris it good value no the ming shi adjustable is cheaper aroud from china and better in every possible way the following razors all under are much much better the razorock rr german slant the phoenix artisan accoutrements bakelite slant the rr slab the rr mission the rr old type the rr jaws if you can get it and probably some others tooit is a pretty poor razor and even at the low price not worth it i would not recommend it to newbies because it will put them off de shaving here is one to pass
