I dipped my toe into Reggie's Razor world and ordered the Mars. Looking forward to trying it out when it arrives and it may well become my go to travel razor.

1st impressions are that the razor is a WHOLE LOT better than the modest price would suggest. Very well built and beautifully finished. The travel case is also a great addition. Thanks for the inclusion of some razors to go with the Mars, a nice touch.

I've ordered one just now. A Mars.
You can give the Titan a go here if you're interested, chap:

Hi Ebberman, thanks for your support! We hope you enjoy the Mars
Bought the Mars last week. It's not bad.
It came in a (dented) metal tin, that has a lid that slides off. I think this caused the marks on the razor head. Comes with 5 unbranded blades.
Loaded a Astra SP. No blade wiggle. Blade fit was pretty good. Blade alignment was good. Looked even to my eye.
4 days growth gone in 2 passes. BBS results.
Very little blade feel but efficient.
I would say it was slightly milder than an EJ89 but more efficient.
Overall a decent buy. I was looking for a travel razor and this one will fit the bill.
If I had one criticism it would be the handle is slightly too thin.

I have to be honest. Damaged packaging scraping the razor would seriously bug me. Even on a cheap razor like this.
Shame, as it looks I've a nice overall package and sounds like it shaves well.
I get what you mean.
I wasn't expecting much for £15 and wasn't disappointed. Maybe I gon unlucky, maybe it was damaged in transit?
I'm not worried too much about it, it's probably only going to come out when I travel, which isn't going to be that much.
If you want to try it, PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

I imagine that’s the case. I doubt it was sent like that.
Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on that...
Thank you for the kind offer but there is no need.
Good luck with the new venture. It's good to see a DE razor maker in the UK, although I no longer use this type of razor very often. If you ever develop an AC-type razor, however, I would be delighted to act as a product tester.
