It works well, and after many uses I find the shape of the stick to be the biggest drawback. Sometimes I find the smaller surface area to be lacking when compared to a block. But the packaging and casing, with a little handle for better grip I really like. Fits perfectly with my other items as well.

Yeah, this stuff is what got me through originally back in the early 90s when I first started with a safety razor in the military. I quick using razors for over 20 years and just switched back to it, and I knew I was gonna be rough to start. It isn't like training wheels on a bike :)

I would like to say that was good but it did not come in my order. I received three wrong stands but that was fixed but never received this product on my order.

It works like it is supposed to. I use it every time I shave.
