Lord L6

The Lord L6 safety razor stands as an accessible option for those entering the world of wet shaving or seeking a budget-friendly alternative. Notably lightweight at 1.7 ounces, with a 4.3-inch length, it features a three-piece design with an aluminum handle and a chrome-plated head. This razor’s lightness, although advantageous for some, may lead to challenges with balance and a necessity for additional pressure during use, which could deter users accustomed to heavier razors.

With a mild aggressiveness rating, it caters to beginners and those with a gentle shave preference. Although the handle boasts cross-diagonal grooves meant for improved grip, their shallow depth may result in potential slippage, reducing the overall ease of handling. Its construction, combining mixed materials, while aesthetically pleasing with its chrome finish, raises questions about long-term durability, especially concerning blade alignment and thread wear. Overall, the Lord L6 presents itself as a value option suitable for newcomers or as a secondary travel razor, assuming users are willing to adapt to its light and head-heavy characteristics.

View Overview »

Aesthetics

The Lord safety razor has a nice chrome finish on the cap and base plate, and the branding is attractively embossed. Aesthetically, it presents well, especially considering the price. - From the Mark Szorady video

Aggressiveness

The razor offers a mild shave, which is great for beginners or those who prefer a gentle touch. The blade balance appears to be spot on, contributing to a smooth shaving experience. - From the Mark Szorady video

With an aggressiveness rating of 5 out of 10, it could be too harsh for beginners who haven't perfected their technique yet. - From the Prim&Prep video

Construction

Mixed materials with aluminum handle and chrome-plated head lend to its head-heavy nature. The construction does not always securely seat the blade, causing inconsistency. - From the Prim&Prep video

The handle is made from aluminum and the cap and base plate from chrome-plated Zamac. Long-term durability, especially of the threads and plating, may be a concern. - From the Mark Szorady video

Handle Grip

Although the handle's knurling pattern is described as interwoven and it doesn't have much depth, it appears to provide sufficient grip, complemented by rings at the neck for better handling. - From the Mark Szorady video

The handle's grip is compromised by insufficiently deep grooves, leading to potential slippage, especially when wet. - From the Prim&Prep video

Length

The handle is longer compared to other razors like the Edwin Jagger DE89L and a vintage Gillette super speed, which could be favorable for users with larger hands or those who prefer a longer handle. - From the Mark Szorady video

The overall length of 4.25 inches is longer than I like, and while typically preferable for large hands, the balance issues negate the benefits. - From the Prim&Prep video

Weight

At 1.5 ounces, the razor is too light for my preference, lacking the heft needed to assist in a smooth shave without applying extra pressure. - From the Prim&Prep video

The razor is described as 'featherweight light,' implying that it may be too light for some users who prefer a heftier razor. However, the head-heavy design seems to aid in the shaving process. - From the Mark Szorady video
