I dropped my XPersis razor yesterday and it broke. So I went out and bought a new razor, a Van Der Hagen Traditional. This seems to be the safety razor that is the most available in my area followed by the King Gillette. I immediately tried out the razor using the supplied blade. It works well but I think I prefer the Feather Blades I had using. The VDH blades are not quite as sharp but do a good job.
