The knurling on this thing is great, right up there with the ikon bulldog. I love it, and it stands out among all my other razors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade loading was a breeze with no issues. It seated right where it is meant to, and took no adjusting to ensure equal exposure on both sides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAggressiveness:\u003cbr\u003eThis razor is very efficient without being overly aggressive. It is no problem to find the proper angle and feels great on the face. The only other open comb I have to compare it to is the 2013 R41, it is less aggressive than the R41, but in a great way. This seems like a razor you could use everyday without worrying about irritating your skin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight:\u003cbr\u003eThis razor is nice and hefty, and has great balance. It makes keeping the correct pressure almost effortless. I didn't weigh it, but it is almost identical to a DE89 on a bulldog handle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd finally, cost:\u003cbr\u003eAt $29.99, this thing is a steal. It looks just as good, if not better than some of my more expensive razors. Douglas Smythe has knocked it out the park! If you want a razor that stands apart from all the others in your collection, you should pick this one up. It looks great and shaves even better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":568049453,"sku":"symmetry_handle","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/the-symmetry-open-comb-safety-razor-941982.jpg?v=1726347926","url":"https:\/\/phoenixshaving.com\/products\/the-symmetry-open-comb-safety-razor","provider":"Phoenix Shaving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
