Bossman Straight Razors

This is my first straight razor so take this review with a grain of salt. First of all its way more quality than I could have ever hoped for, for $25. It just feels like quality. You have to hold it to understand. If you are looking for a razor that uses standard double side blades, you will be impressed with the quality. I had a couple of first time user errors, which this razor quickly corrected. I learned very quickly to use my wrist and not my arm, (I was shaving my head). After my blood transfusion I learned a couple of things. It’s very hard to feel the angle on my head. I had no problem shaving my neck. It came natural. I think If i was shaving my beard it would have come natural, of course, I’m growing my beard; so I’m not shaving it. The only real problem that I have with the razor is the locking mechanism. It is a sliding mechanism that is to easy to open by accident. It should be a flip type mechanism. Again, I didn’t have any problem using it on my neck. My hand rested nicely and it was easy to use. When I tried to shave my head I had to continually check the locking mechanism to keep the blade secure. That could be just because it was my first time, I think it is a design flaw. It just didn’t feel natural to load a blade with a sliding mechanism. I had to actually think about how to load the blade. If it had been a flip out mechanism it would have been much easier. Much more intuitive. Much more secure. it’s just too easy to accidentally actuate that mechanism.…
