Bolin Webb R1 Luxury Men's Razor with Gillette Mach3 Blade Cartridge & Travel Case - Yellow & Orange Options - Perfect Gift for Men, Travel & Daily Shaving

Being 62, I’m set in my ways when it comes to razors, blades and assorted paraphernalia. Given a choice, I’d probably stay with my old standard - a double edge, butterfly opening razor that uses blades that may cost 20 cents each.But when I was given the opportunity to test this product, I said “why not?” After all, I’ve tested other razor handles before.Then I saw the price (honest, I didn’t know the cost until checking it out later). $120 for a razor handle and Mach 3 blade? This had better be one high class rig for that price.Even before I got the handle I did my research. Bolin Webb is a UK based company that designs and manufactures their handles in-house and, more often than not, bases designs and colors upon concurrent exotic cars. Prices seem to range from $80 to $120 USD.Might explain why Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue, among others - including Amazon, sell these units. Oh, if you’re wondering, there is no price advantage that I could see by going to one vendor over another (unless you find a sale and that seems to be rare).When my razor finally arrived I was pleasantly surprised by a nice box with the razor handle and travel case (looks to be silicone) Mach 3 blade and....Well, that’s it. No instructions. No thank you notes. Diddly and squat.Now for a bit of clarification. The description states graphite but that refers to the color, not to the construction.Come to think of it, the description states nothing of overall construction materials although the main website states “metallic” and leaves it at that. Judging from the light weight and the fact it doesn’t attract magnets, I’d have to guess aluminum.Except for the underside. It appears to be rubber or maybe silicone and it does help with the grip during usage.As for that color, it’s perfectly applied. Not a smudge, smear or imperfection anywhere.Shaving is just find with this handle, but that’s the job of the Mach 3 blade. A proven winner for a couple decades, the Mach 3 does a good job of shaving for nearly a week before you have to replace it (at a cost of nearly $2 each unless you opt for off-brand generics).And now comes my opinion:* It’s a nice razor handle but nothing special in my opinion. It’s not something a visitor to your house would look at and go, “wow!.* Using a razor is pretty straightforward but even the cheapest razor handles come with instructions. This came with absolutely nothing.* One blade head? Really? For $120 you could at least toss in a half dozen replacement heads.As for the price, that is a personal matter, so I’ll leave that decision up to you.
