Turn the collar near the head and the butterfly doors open; you do not have to separate the head into pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Someone who wants quick blade changes and a lighter razor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the comb changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed comb has a continuous safety bar for a smoother, more guarded feel. An open comb has separate teeth and channels for heavier lather and longer growth, with more blade feedback. “Butterfly” describes how the head opens to load a blade; it is a loading mechanism, not a claim that one shave is better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing:border-box;background:#f5f0e6;padding:18px 20px;margin:24px 0;max-width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:0\"\u003eThe razor is the tool. The blade is the replaceable part.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the handle once. Standard double-edge blades are inexpensive, widely available and non-proprietary. You don’t need to throw away the expensive part every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to shave with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with wet skin and something slick. Find the blade angle, use light pressure and take short strokes. Rinse the head as needed. Don’t press as you might with a cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the weight feels like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt about 62 g, it is the lightest and most maneuverable of the three. Its weight may feel more familiar if you are coming from a cartridge handle; still use light pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLoading the blade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn the collar near the head to open the doors. Set in a standard double-edge blade, then turn the collar to close them securely. This is a top-action collar, not a twist knob at the butt end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse away lather and let the razor dry. You can loosen or open the head after use if you prefer. Clean occasional soap buildup with mild soap and a soft brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you actually need\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA razor, standard DE blades and something slick to shave with.
