Fit and finish on the head and handle is great. I am still struggling to get a smooth, irritation-free shave, after several different brands of blades. I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner.

I’ve been using this razor pretty sporadically since I don’t always go for a complete clean shaven face for the last three years. it’s worked well for me until today when I went to put a new blade in and I found the threads were completely gone. Unfortunate, but glad I had it as long as I did I guess.

Good quality razor, really nice craftsmanship. The handle have a really good grip and feel. I like the small size, the shift from my old razor, a king Gillette, made it feel a bit to short.in the handle. But after two shaves I like the short and beefy handle. The open comb works really well. I tested the astra blade that's Stirling was so kind to add in my box. The feel good, but might try a more sharp blade next time.
This was my second order from Stirling and just enjoy the process and the feel that you are shopping from real people that leave you a kind note on the order and the small samples or as this case some nice blades.
Keep it going and make it feel local, even here in Missouri and you will have customer for life.
