This is my personal razor. It is entirely composed of stainless steel, and manufactured in the United States. A little fun fact: this is the first US produced adjustable safety razor since Gillette stopped producing their models.

They are pricey, but at least it's SS instead of chrome coated. My personal driver is a feather all stainless with my secondary been a Razorock SS Slant when I forget to shave for a week.

The blades used are so cheap compared to newer razors.

yeah chrome sux. you never know when it's going to start flaking and you find out when it cuts your face up. not deep cuts but they scratch you up pretty bad. if that happens you have to hit your razor with some fine sandpaper to get rid of the chrome burrs.

Adjustable is what sense? Is it telescopic (extends) or something else?

The space between the guard and blade/ top cap will increase as you increase the setting. Lower settings will have a more mild feel, while higher settings will offer a more aggressive takedown of facial hair. It serves 2 purposes; to provide a variety of options for comfort for the user, and to increase the razors ability to handle heavy hair growth.

Can you link a place to purchase it? I’m a lazy shaver & as a female with so much more surface area to cover this adjustable option sounds amazing.

There are many less expensive options for adjustable razors. This is definitely a very nice luxury item.
