This is a beautiful razor and it delivers a close and gentle shave. Can't beat it.
Great value and old school design
It's great. Fine shave. Good workmanship.
I just wish there was a long handle version.
For the money, the Schone is the best all-brass razor on the market. Looks great, handles wonderfully. Do not hesitate, buy now!
Having used this razor for over a month now, I can easily say that I'm incredibly satisfied with my purchase. After looking around for on Amazon for nearly a week after my first safety razor broke, scouring through countless makes and models and comparing them, I settled on this one. I chose gold. For me, one of the selling points is that it is made of plated brass and not relatively fragile pot metal, the hot dog filling of the metal world. Plus, I was curious about open combs.
Although it is fairly lightweight due to the hollow handle, it definitely has more heft than my previous Van Der Hagen/Weishi twist-to-open. It seems to be of high quality and the fit and finish is immaculate. It cuts through my thick, coarse stubble without the slightest hint of a struggle.
Some have stated that this razor is too aggressive. Although I do agree that it is a very efficient cutting design, I personally don't see the issue. If you take your time and simply drag the razor across your skin in short strokes without any added pressure from your hand, you should be fine. It takes a little time, as with any safety razor, however the open comb means less time rinsing, so I'd call it a fair trade-off.
All in all, this is an excellent razor.

good razor
The razor is better than a closed safety bar razor. I've yet to nick myself with this, though I've nicked myself with my Dorco USA model that I used prior to receiving this item. This item is better than the Dorco closed bar razor head in every respect except that it does not have a silo door construction. But, I was unable to find a manufacturer that uses a silo door constructed safety razor with open tooth design. Because you can feel the razor's location on this head, you are by default safer, as you know exactly how much pressure is being exerted and where on the skin it is being exerted. If you're trimming around beards or other facial hair you will know exactly where to cut. Spend the extra money and buy the gold model; it makes you feel like a high roller.
I received this as a Christmas gift from my sister-in-law. It is what i asked for. I originally wanted a Fatip to have something more aggressive than my Merkur 1904(which i love). This is a moderately aggressive razor. I'm not sure i would want one more aggressive. I do not agree with reviewers that say it is not aggressive. I use Asta SP razors and finally get a shave equal to and many times even closer than a ver expensive Gillette/Schick multi blade razor. Its unimaginable to me that i could replace the high priced multi disposables for anything. This razor is the most attractive one i own. Every inch of it has details that make it art. Its a beautiful precision tool and is just aggressive enough. I rotate with the Merkur 1904 which is under rated. Short easy strokes with little pressure give a great barber shop close shave. I would recommend this razor to anyone.
Excellent open comb razor! Aggressive, but not too aggressive. Due to the direction of my beard growth, some parts of my face (jawline and neck) require a more aggressive razor. The Schone open comb razor fills my needs perfectly. I don't know how long the gold finish will last, but it certainly dresses up the razor. the plating is not up to Edwin Jagger standards, but very nice nevertheless. Very handsome razor. By the way the handle is hollow, yet heavy enough to give the razor a good balance.
I haven't used it yet but just wanted to let everyone know that the one I received (Dec 2017) has the old handle with the horizontal lines, not the new "spiral" handle that is currently on the nickel plated version.
