The head of the razor can be twisted off from the handle when charging a new razor blade. It’s not the easiest way to change a razor blade but it’s the most effective. Compared to the “butterfly doors” razors, changing the blade with a disassembled razor ensures that the blade is properly placed onto the head. There are instances that the butterfly doors or the twist-to-open mechanism result to improperly charged blades which is very dangerous if not detected before shaving with the razor.
Overall, this razor is perfect for anyone who wants a good looking and at the same time, functional safety razor. The quality of the razor makes it a possible life-long shaving partner.

People who use safety razors always rave about how much money they are able to spend as compared to shaving with cartridge razors.
