Baili BR171 Double Edge Safety Razor DE

I love this razor. I have owned at least 6 or 7 others, Muhle R41, Parker 87R, RazoRock BBS, and German 37, and Old Type, Vikings Blade Cheiftain, etc. This Baili is a keeper, I sold many of the others. I love how the blade is covered and clamped down, and seats up without having to manipulate the blade to make sure it is even on both sides. Buy it. Don't let the cheap price scare you off.

I bought this little razor on the cheap and it performs extremely well when paired with a Wizamet blade. Very pleased!

price was unbelievable and a great shave.

This is an excellent razor at a super bargain price. Very mild but also very efficient. I get baby-smooth shaves with no irritation or weepers afterwards. Beautiful chrome finish all over with no flaws. Nicely weighted & balanced, with a well-designed handle that never slips out of my fingers (which is important when you shave in the shower as I do). This razor is better (and better looking) than ones costing ten times the price. The head is basically a clone of the classic Gillette Tech, which many (including myself) consider to be the best safety razor ever made. The Baili BR171 has become my daily shaver. I own several razors, both vintage and new, but this is the one I'd choose if I had to stick with only one.

This is a surprisingly good razor. Not only does it look good (at least to me), it feels good in the hand and its feel on the face and performance are first rate. Its baseplate design is somewhat unusual: rather than studs to align the blade, it uses corner braces, but that is totally not an issue. I keep a few copies of these razors as gifts for men who are willing to try traditional shaving, and I also have one in my regular rotation. This razor is an insanely great bargain.
