Care:

Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Don’t buy!
Color: Green
I purchased in 2025 and I’ve barely used it. Now it doesn’t even turn on. Very disappointing!

doesn’t come with a bag to store razor after use
This came charged and was easy to use. I love the double sided razor concept, it made it easy to shave upwards and down at once. The speed is amazing getting enough hairs each stroke. It made it easy to get a clean shaven look by simply holding the skin taut. The battery life was well, I used this for half an hour, and it remained speedy and effective. I also did not find that my skin got irritated. It just felt smooth afterwords but irritation wasn’t my biggest concern as I would have applied an aloe gel to soothe the area If i found any irritations. Overall the quality was nice. Although, I will say I was expecting a small bag to be able to set the razor in after shaving since it just came in the packaging.

Does the job
Simple, does the job, but is pretty loud. It comes with a cable and a stand. Now, it does not leave you with a close shave so it’s best for maintenance or pre wax.
