The RazoRock Mission 3-Piece Double Edge Safety Razor has an extremely attractive appearance. The Chroming is simply lovely and top-notch. It has good weight, heft, and balance. Overall, the razor looks much more expensive than the price listed.

However, I immediately noticed two things during my first use.

One, although blade alignment was pretty accurate, I did need to give it a bit of a nudge just to make sure. It’s not wildly out of alignment. It’s just that, with this razor head, the blade ends protrude a bit. This gives you the opportunity to check things out. A good practice, just to be on the safe side.

And two, the blade exposure was a lot more than I’ve seen with other razors. This resulted in a shave that was close, but just a tad more harsh than smooth for me. YMMV. This may very well be an agreeably good razor for many wet shavers. It certainly depends on your skin type.

I’ve learned that my skin is a bit on the sensitive side. I prefer a more mild razor. On the upside, I used Italian Barber’s Fresco Verde Shaving Soap For Sensitive Skin. I think this gave me some added protection when using this razor.

Truthfully, I would not buy this as a starter razor for someone just learning how to wet shave. It’s a bit like jumping in the deep end. Too much, too soon.

This razor would be, however, a good second razor/gift for the person who’s learned the proper technique, etc. with a more mild razor over a period of a year or two.

A much better option for any wet shaver (beginner or seasoned veteran) is The Godfather razor by Vikings Blade.   The blade exposure is perfect!  The razor is very forgiving which results in a smooth and close shave.
