    WEISHI 9306C Review - Is this budget safety razor any good?

    Hey there, this is my Weishi Razor Review, to be specific the 9306C model.

    If you guys have read my article on the best safety razors, you will have found out that this is one of my top choices from an economical standpoint.

    The Weishi 9306c is a very popular razor for people that are just starting out with classic shaving.

    It is also a popular razor for people who travel a lot and do not want to carry their more expensive safety razors.

    The packaging that my Weishi 9306c came in is quite tacky looking but they include some pretty awesome supplementary items.

    Inside the blue box that it came in includes 10 double-edged blades from two different manufacturers (Ying Jili and Dorco) and a small brush to clean your safety razor with.

    The brush is extremely helpful especially because the Weishi 9306c is a butterfly open safety razor and it makes it easy to clean the inside of the headpiece.

    When you open the box you will find a small mirror on the inside wall of the box.

    This makes it convenient to do small touchups and is perfect for traveling with.

    The Weishi 9306c is a one-piece twist to open (or butterfly open), copper alloy safety razor.

    I got the dark silver edition because I heard good things about it.

    Let’s jump right into the Weishi razor review to find out more!

      Weishi Razor Review (9306C)

      Weight and Balance

      The Weishi 9306c weighs 2.25 ounces.

      Since most butterfly open safety razors tend to be on the light side, I was expecting the Weishi 9306c to be the same.

      To my surprise, the handle has a good amount of weight to it.

      The balance point is in a good position for changing from one hand position to another.

      You can also see from this Weishi razor review that I had no trouble maneuvering the Weishi 9306c while shaving.

      Grip

      The Weishi 9306c has deep vertical and horizontal grooves that create vertical rectangles along with the majority of the handle.

      These rectangles create a very good grip while moving your hand vertical or horizontal along the handle.

      The twist to open knob at the bottom has vertical grooves that protrude out from the handle.

      This adds additional grip as well as notifying you where the end of the handle is, as indicated in the Weishi razor review.

      Overall this Weishi safety razor has a very good grip and it would be hard to imagine it slipping out of your hands while shaving.

      Length

      The Weishi 9306c measures 3.5 inches in length from head to toe.

      This is a good length for most individuals based on hand size alone.

      For me, it is just a little too short.

      The knob at the bottom takes up too much of the handle length overall.

      While shaving I ended up loosening the “twist to open” mechanism and therefore the blade as well.

      It is a pain to have to keep on tightening the knob at the bottom during my shave.

      This might not be a problem for people with smaller hands.

      Head Piece and Aggressiveness

      In my Weishi razor review, the headpiece seems to be well constructed.

      Most butterfly open safety razors are prone to breaking due to the fact that they have multiple moving parts.

      The opening and closing on the Weishi 9306c feel very smooth and if you take care of it, it should last for a while.

      Compared to other butterfly open safety razors such as the Parker 99R that I’ve talked about on my website, this Weishi adjustable razor is pretty mild.

      In this Weishi razor review, I give it a rating of 4/10 on my aggressiveness scale.

      We can conclude this section of the Weishi razor review by saying, this is a decent starting aggressiveness for any beginner.

      It is pretty difficult to cut yourself with it even while using sharper blades such as Feather.

      Blade Replacement

      Just like any other twist to open a safety razor, blade replacement is extremely easy.

      As long as the twist to open mechanism and knob don’t get corroded by soap scum, you should have no problem replacing blades in the future.

      Definitely, the safest way to replace blades.

      Overall from this Weishi razor review, I think that the Weishi 9306c is one of the best safety razors at its price point.

      It would be a good safety razor for any beginner because it is not that aggressive, so you can avoid getting cut up while learning proper technique.

      It is also a good choice for individuals with sensitive skin.

      From the previous sections of this Weishi razor review, you can see I really like the weight and balance of this safety razor but for me, I wish it had a slightly longer handle.

      This is going to be my go-to travel double edge safety razor because of the cool box that it comes in.

      I have dropped the box a couple of times and it seems durable enough to take a beating while on the road.

      We will see how long the butterfly open mechanism holds up but I think with proper care it should last a while.

      Definitely check this guy from Weishi razor company out.

      For approximately $15 it is hard to go wrong.

      1. Thanks for the blog. Very helpful. I’m 73-yo. Began shaving with a safety razor, then electric, then safety again in the military, then disposable with 1, then 2, then 3 blades, now back to safety razor. It’s the best.

      2. Thanks largely to this review, I decided to buy a Weishi 9306c as my first DE razor. It’s far nicer than I expected, and the last couple of months it’s been super easy and forgiving as I’ve been learning how to use a safety razor.

        Possibly the only complaint I have: I can’t get a real close shave with most blades I’ve tried (Feather and Astra came close; I’m going to try the feathers again next week). I’m looking to move to a more aggressive handle soon. I’ve got a thick beard that I shave almost daily, but even though there’s far, far less irritation than what I used to have, I’ve struggled to shave closer than I could with a Dollar Shave Club or Gillette Fusion cartridge.

        Having said that, I’m still super surprised at how how high quality it feels for less than $15; my wife swears i spent an arm and a leg on it!

      3. Sometime between when you did this review and May 2019 the travel case, the mirror and 5 blades disappeared from this product
