The Neillite Four Hundred

**gearchow** · 02-20-2011, 06:22 PM

I went to a vintage store a couple of months ago and saw this razor for $16 which I passed on. Was in the shop yesterday, saw it was repriced to $10 and took it home and shaved with it last night. I don't normally like light razors, but I got a darn nice shave with this razor. It's as light was I want to go though.

Yah. I hate that I like it.
Why does such a great shave have to come in such a tiny insubstantial piece of plastic?

I shaved with it again last night and still had a another great experience. I read here that it's an aggressive razor, but it doesn't seem that way to me. Maybe it's described that way due to it's lightness and requires a bit more effort to keep the blade to the face?

I have one without the 400 hundred written on it, looks exactly like yours.

I find the razor to be one of the mildest shavers around. The shape of the head makes it nearly impossible to get too aggressive with the angle.
