SETPOINT™ Adjustable Safety Razor

Very please with how quickly I can shave with the Setpoint

This razor has been great. I had never had an adjustable razor before, and as someone who routinely goes 1-2 weeks between shaves, I love being able to start at setting 6 for my neck and cheeks, and dial back to settings 1 and 2 for around the lips. Overall this makes shaving go much quicker, because I’m not having to pause as often to rinse away all the accumulated hair in the razor. On my old non-adjustable, this was a laborious and slow process due to having to rinse so much. I was initially worried that it would shave too aggressively at the higher dial settings. However, by the second use, I had no issue shaving at setting 6 with essentially the same technique as my old non-adjustable. Lastly, I like the adjustment dial being positioned at the top of the handle, right underneath the clutch. I don’t feel like my palm will accidentally adjust the dial while shaving, the way I might if it was on the other end.

8th time is the charm!

As a lifelong wet shaver, I was firmly in the cartridge camp for decades. A few years ago, I decided to give safety razors a try. I never had a problem with the quality of my cartridge shaves, but I liked the idea of not mortgaging the house for blades. I bought one safety razor, then another, then another, and over the next year I amassed seven. I didn’t want to become a collector or take up a new hobby; I just wanted a very close shave with no irritation, no nicks, and no drama. I tried single-edge and double-edge, adjustable and fixed, single-blade and multi-blade. I tried blades including Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide, Gillette Nacet Stainless, Feather, Leaf and Vikings Blade (which came with one of the razors). I was still chasing the shave my cartridges gave me. Then I ordered the SETPOINT in stainless steel (I like some heft). Wow! This is the one. I’ve had it for two weeks and shave with it most days, and I get extremely close shaves with no nicks, using settings 1–2.

Good razor but I prefer my 6S.

I have been trialling the Setpoint Razor for the last three weeks using different settings and blades. It is a well engineered razor and gives a decent shave but I have been getting slight razor burn on my neck. I much prefer my stainless steel 6s which has more "heft" and shaves more smoothly than the aluminium Setpoint.
