Probably the heaviest razor on the market today. Made in Germany, the Vision 2000 offers the heftiest feel a safety razor can. Its adjustable head accommodates a variety of beard-growths. Replacement blades can be ordered online, or in select drugstores.
You won't find "safety razors" at your typical supermarket, but they are certainly not new. The first safety razor was invented in the late 18th century by a Frenchman, Jean-Jacques Perret; prior to the invention of the first safety razor most men used a straight razor. While straight razors can still be acquired these days (including at this site!), they are not nearly as popular because they require a lot of skill and practice to master. A safety razor is a razor where the skin is protected from all but the very edge of the blade.
