Nahl Biolabs SE 3D Printed Razor - First Use & Thoughts (Head Shave)

[saj]

hey so as some of you have seen my post on the acquisitons thread that i got my first 3d printed razor,
its made by some company called nahl biolabs, i know nothing about this company just stumbled across it on ebay uk so thought id take a punt

this razor is brilliant, the razor picks up lather amazingly, i mean it reminds me a bit of the leaf razor the way it picks up the lather
it doesnt get clogged up, its really easy to use, efficent and id say about mid aggression and is brilliant for long and short strokes

two things though, i dont know how long these razors can last as its made of some sort of plastic i think,
and it is a little fiddly to align the blade as you need to ensure the blades sitting straight

i think this could easily be a daily driver but probably even more better for people like myself that dont shave as often or someone like myself who has thick and coarse hair

bare in mind its my first 3d printer razor so i have nothing to compare it with but it does somewhat resemble the GEM style razors,
all in all as a head shaver its good an i enjoyed a quick , comfortable head shave but it does have a bit of a bulky head so not sure about face shavers?
suppose it depends on the person experience like always YMMV

bare in mind ...

Picturing you naked

"Bear in mind ..." ... there's a BEAR!!! Run for it! They're dangerous.

In seriousness, sound review! I wondered actually what they'd do about the back edge on the blade, which looks safe tucked away in there. It's a funny thing that I take most blades and get three shave from it, but do a fourth and I regret it. Split the same blade in half and I get two shaves from either side without issue. So, with this razor, it's the same ... two shaves from each side and you get that extra shave from it. Many thousands of shaves later and you will have recouped the initial investment.

Nice design, that. Good that enjoyed it.

i typed it up on my phone, so 'bare' with me looool

i didnt know what to expect with this razor, but now that i think about it the weight and handle size (althought bit handle is bigger and wider on this) kinda reminds me of the merkur 45 bakelite
