The blade is double-sided, and covered by an arched piece of metal on top, and an angled piece of metal on bottom, so that only a small amount of the blade comes in contact with the skin, which limits the chance of injury.

So much smoother and closer shave compared to a safety razor. Also, you can go as fast as you wish and even against the grain without any type of "burn" or irritation. I've also gone over two weeks on the same blade and it still feels like the first shave.

This is a good old-fashioned double-edge safety razor. You twist the handle to open it and insert the blade, then twist to close. The angle is what it is. It's just like the good old razor invented by King Gillette.

Ditto on the other responses..... A great razor....blades last a long time!!

It is designed specifically for safety razors. Art of Shaving razors wouldn't fit

I went back to a Double Edge safety razor. Best move I made as far as shaving goes. Look at the Edwin Jagger Double Edge razors as an example. The DE89 series is very popular. I use a DE89BL almost on a daily basis. There are many other brands available too like Parker, Muhle etc.

There is no guard to speak of in my opinion. It has a "lid" that serves as a nut for the assembly then a "closed comb" that is the washer and flexes the blade to the appropriate angle. The handle is a separate piece, making it a three piece DE razor, if that is what you mean. There is more than enough blade exposure as far as I'm concerned, it is more than capable of providing a close shave...closer than I prefer on some spots, but that is becoming less of an issue as I get used to it.

The safety is right at the base of the handle grips. It's a little ring that goes over a notch to keep the scissors closed. It works great and is quite easy to use!

I don't know if there is a better razor then the Gillette DE Safety razor. But this razor has a good weight and operates smoothly. It definitely worth the money.

It's the best razor I've had, close shave. I would think it would work well .

It IS the "AS-D2," just as it is pictured here at Amazon. I have been using the razor and the Feather razor blades for my face and my "beautiful bald head." The razor and blades are a perfect combination for me. I have yet to draw blood! I shave VERY close. Buy it! IF you should not like it (which I doubt) just return it! It's just that simple..... nothing at all complicated. As I commented in my first review.... "You Get What You Pay For....."

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

No. I bought this set with intentions to eventually update some of the pieces for my husband and bought a Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor for him to switch between regular shaving and safety razor. He loves it!

I don't have the Rick Harrison razor but the safety blades are usually standard in size. One of the most important things to look for when loading the razor is to look at the edge to make sure it is even around the plate. If it is not even remove the blade and flip it over, it should be even. I found that it seems to be important to a good shave. It takes awhile to get use to the safety razor, like allowing the weight of the head do the work, having the razor hot when you shave and keeping the angle right. It is a lot more inexpensive after practice a great shave.

Any type of razor fits in. There seems to be a universal razor shape that allows for razors to be replaceable. This certainly is the case with this safety razor.

I don't know what a razor is but my 7 year old grand daughter loves it. The handle adjust so it can grow with her? Would get it again in a minute!

double edged single blades, the traditional style of "safety razor blades". faces are different, i have super sensitive skin and strongly recommend astra sp green label blades. http://www.amazon.com/Astra-Superior-Premium-Platinum-Double/dp/B001QY8QXM/ref=sr_1_1?m=A262S395NXGG8Z&s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1406912501&sr=1-1
