BAILI Butterfly Open TTO Double Edge Metal Safety Razor Wet Shaving Kit for Men Women with Platinum Blade and Mirrored Travel Case BD179

Apparently I've been getting ripped off by razors my entire life. I just received this $14 razor and a pack of 100 Astra Platinum razor blades for $8. I followed the advice closely, 30 degrees, super gentle short strokes, and it gave me the a shave that was just as close as a brand new Gillette Fusion. I didn't have a single nick or cut. And the blades are so cheap that I can afford to replace the blade every three shaves. I might as well start using Barbasol shaving cream so I can really be old school. I used Gillette shaving gel for this shave. The shave was so close I can just shave in the evening and that's one less thing I have to do before work. Stop spending a fortune on disposable razors and switch to a safety razor, you'll be glad you did.

Exactly what I was looking for. An old-timers safety razor and 5-10 pack of double-edged razors. The price is right, the shipping fast. The product shaves as I remember, close and smooth, got to take your time. A slip, cut yourself. Not a toy, not a collectible. Awesome product. Thank you Baili! BTW, purchase this in a large box store, 3x the amount.

I have been using double edge razors for over a decade and own both a D.E. Jagger 89 and a Merkur Futura. I bought this razor as an inexpensive razor for travel with the idea that if it got lost or damaged, I wouldn't feel too badly about it. After using it for a week with different levels of beard growth (between one and three days), my usual blade (Astra Platinum) and shaving soap (Proraso), I am very impressed! It glides extremely well over my face and beard (no pulling or tugging), no trouble in tight places such as under my nose and chin, no nicks, and an amazingly and consistently smooth shave. It pains me to say it, but this inexpensive razor works better for me than my other much more expensive ones do. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get started in double edge blade shaving (and stop using overpriced disposable razors), or for a spare like I was, I recommend this one!

I bought this Double Edge Razor manufactured by Baili from Gearhub and fulfilled by Amazon for about $14. The razor is a "Butterfly" style razor where you can turn the knob on the bottom of the handle and the razor opens up on the top of the handle like a butterfly flapping it's wings. When it opens, you can simply drop the razor blade on top, turn the knob on the handle to close the opening and hold the blade in place. This is also known as "Twist To Open" or "TTO". Baili apparently manufactures razors for many private label brands including GearHub, Viking, and a host of generic brands. The package comes with a single generic razor blade so you test out the razor. The freebie blade is crap. You will get nicked or cut. It is strongly suggested that you buy a sampler pack of reputable brands of razor blades to test out. Quality varies so you should find which best suits you. I also bought a box of 100 replacement razors from Astra (Green label) for about $8.50. The package also comes with a small plastic case with a mirror. It is convenient and can be used for travel. It's plastic but still handy. This was my first re-usable razor. I opted for the Baili butterfly since I wanted a mild shave and reviews seemed to lean towards mild. The butterfly also seemed easier to change razor blades as opposed to the 3 piece razors where you have to unscrew and rescrew the handle. The Baili razor has a nice heavy weight to it. This allows gravity to help you shave as opposed to pressing down hard on the razor. The less pressure, the less nicks and cuts. The razor along with an Astra blade went better than I thought. Slow, short strokes and I ended up with a mild shave. For my trouble spots under the chin and neck, I needed to do additional passes and reapply shaving cream. It took me about 4x as long to shave than using a plastic multi-blade disposable razor. Lol. As I get more comfortable, I will shave faster but at least cuts and nicks were minor. The issue I have with the butterfly razor is the knob gets loose when shaving and you have to re-tighten the razor housing. If it's too tight, the housing covers up the blade and nothing gets cut. 😵‍💫 This is a common complaint of all brands of butterfly razors. As such, I started testing out different brands of 3 piece razors.

I shave in the shower with a bar of soap to ease the friction. The case is nice because it'll keep the hard water buildup at bay. I've used the ones with screw on handles and was skeptical of this mechanism. However it seems that this style cleans the hair away much more easily and is a sturdy as necessary. It also ia much easier to change the blade so it is a very nice upgrade.

Exceptional! Worth every penny; you don’t have to spend a lot for a good razor. Paired with a Nacet blade, this razor can’t be beat.

great

Its pretty nice but be sure not to fully tighten it! Why? Because then the blade will be so inset and at a bad angle that the shave will not be close at all. You have to leave it maybe a 1/5 turn loose in order to get a good angle on the blade. I shave with the grain, so I don't get ingrowns, so maybe thats why I don't see many reviews mentioning this. If you are like me and you fully tighten it, it will leave like .5mm of hair behind and you will be forced to go against the grain or wait for it to grow out again. On the bright side, the action is smooth and the handle is light weight. I wish the knurling was a bit more aggressive for the shower though.

Not sure. Build quality ok but I get less irritation since I swapped for a Parker razor using the same blades.

I've ordered several safety razors from Amazon and I have to say, this one is the best. Good value for the money. The weight of it in the hand, I would say is just right (I'd prefer heavier but that's just my preference, this feels fine.) I would say the two best features are the holes carved underneath the blade edge on each side that allow water to flow through and make complete rinsing of the blade much more effective and easy; and the blade retention mechanism (the "butterfly") that holds the blade at the right angle. I don't really need to angle the razor much as the blade is already quite well angled, and there's enough of a space between the blade edge and the bottom of the razor that it doesn't get clogged up. (and it rinses easily as previously noted) The design of this is far better than the type where the head of the razor unscrews from the handle. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

La maquinilla tiene una construcción sólida, había probado otra de tipo mariposa en este mismo rango de precio y era muy difícil alinear bien la navaja al cerrar el mecanismo, pero con esta Baili a la primera quedo la navaja derecha y con la misma salida a ambos lados. Es de agresividad baja así que es apta para principiantes. La cuchilla incluida no es muy buena, es recomendable ponerle otra de mejor calidad

Wahnsinn. Ein riesen Unterschied. Ich hatte eher eine Hassliebe zu Hobeln. Der wilkinson classic in schwarz war okay, der Edwin Jagger dann seit einigen Jahren mein Eigen und recht gut, aber teilweise schon immer etwas schwierig, hatte ihn nur einmal pro Woche im Einsatz. Aber mit dem baili, dem hochgelobten, der wohl letztes Jahr als isana von rossmann verkauft wurde und nicht mehr erhältlich ist, mit dem war meine erste Rasur gerade ganz anders. Mal schauen wie dann die nächsten Wochen werden, aber, ich bin da guter Dinge. Hatte vorher schon geschaut ob ich den woanders günstiger kriegen kann, da ich sehr oft bei a-express bestelle, aber hierüber ist es h nur etwas teurer, aber dafür sofort da. Bin begeistert.

Knocks disposables into a cocked-hat.
