a stylists view has defects and is unusable bad customer service [SEP] the straight razor shavette i received is far from being professional quality nor could it be an heirloom that can be passed down in the family it is made from cheap materials and has several defectsthe clasp is so thinly made that it is easily bent just from disengaging it from the spine there is a gouge on one spine that goes in on one side and out on the other and the razor blade does not stay seated properly once clasped the wooden scales are not neatly finished the blades that come with it are not the snap kind they are full double sided blades making them more dangerous to have to cut them without getting cut they are also very thin and cheap there is no way i can shave a neck sideburns facial hair etc with this defective razori could have overlooked cosmetic issues regarding a razor of this price point it is the physical defects that hindered its use that are major problems for mei contacted the seller but was told that i could keep the defective product and we recommend another straight for you better than that one in your hand and i was given the asin number so i could purchase it this was not only poor customer service but a lack of confidence in this their own product if they do not recommend this razor i certainly do not either it really could have gone much better
