What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving


When Is A DE Razor Not A DE Razor?

After many years of coaxing and cajoling I finally convinced Mrs. Mantic59 to try a double edge (DE) razor. But since her eyesight and coordination leave a little to be desired when it comes to shaving she said she wanted a large, heavyweight razor for easier grip and use.


I approached the request from a research perspective and did some search engine queries. One of the first things I found was the Hanni razor.


From the pictures on the site it sure looked like a “regular” double edge razor to me. And that last comment from the webpage, “only hanni’s proprietary Swedish stainless steel blades are compatible with the hanni weighted razor,” seemed kind of crazy to me: surely…surely…this used regular DE blades.


So in the spirit of research for my wife I busted out the Sharpologist corporate credit card and bought a Hanni razor and set of blades (even though, surely, I wouldn’t need them).
