Mild razor, easy to load, there have been no issues so far. I find this razor preferable to the Gillette King C I had been using. I reach for this much more than the other expensive razors I own.

Perfect for a beginner...or a seasoned wet shaver. Can't bet the price! I'm getting one for my son as well in order to introduce him to the craft...and he's never touched a razor--he's all electric.

I have never used a safety razor before and I have really sensitive skin. This is a really mild razor that feels great on the skin. It won’t leave your skin smooth like a baby but that is ok with me since when I try to get super smooth shaves, I get really irritated. This glides really well and it came with a pack of Astras.

When I purchased this razor it was actually from Amazon, and it cost me $20 and claimed to have been made in Australia. 🤔
It's a great cheap razor, durable, mild and easy to use. It was my starting razor and I've never had any intention or need to upgrade. Highly recommend, just get it from this company, not some scam that claims to be more than it is. It's not a kings razor, but it is a razor. And it will do.

I recently ordered and received this razor and shaved with it for the first time using a Gillette Platinum (Blue Box) blades and the Campania Shaving Soap.

I did have some post shave irritation, but I chalk that up to the learning curve for a new razor and blade combination. Definitely NOT an issue with the safety razor.

I look forward to experimenting with other blades. Also, I may end up using this more than my Vintage Gillette Blue Tip. This Stirling razor is mild like the blue Tip, but has a longer handle, which is nice. Similar to the Blue Tip, this Stirling razor has knurling on the handle, which makes it easy to use, even with wet hands.

I received this razor as part of the wet shaving starter set from Stirling. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this razor. It gives me a nice mild shave using Gillette Silver Blues or Astra SP blades. Since I bought the kit, I have purchased and shave with a 1951 Gillette Black Tip, a 60’s Gillette Slim Adjustable, and a mint condition 60’s Gillette SuperSpeed. I love these vintage razors and shave with them often, however, I still enjoy shaving with the Baili and use it at least twice a week. You can’t beat it for $9. Great value here.
