Obtaining this razor with a blade sampler I had no expectation of receiving a usable DE. I was very surprised at the quality of this razor. Delivering a shave with medium aggression the Gen1 has earned a spot in my DE razor rotation. Owning the Sabi Gen1 with the Brass/Gold finish,I plan on adding the Gunmetal/Smoke and Silver/Chrome Sabi razors to my collection with my next order. I would recommend this razor to beginners and seasoned wet savers alike. At $6.99 USD I know of no better TTO value razor on the WWW. All three Sabi's can be purchased from Joe @ www.shaveabuck.com Photo Courtesy of Shaveabuck
