I did not expect this product to be a part of special memory in my life.
When I asked my 83 years old grandpa what kind of gift I could get for him, he told me that he did not need anything in that age. Then, I insisted. "Please, just one thing that you have in your mind?" He said softly: "Maybe an old-style razor that I used to have when I was a young man." He told me that those he found in the shops are China-made and he was unhappy with the poor quality. So, my quest began. Being clueless about men's razor stuff, I had to ask my dad how it looked. My dad explained the shape to me. But he discouraged me. "All those old-style razors in the market are cheaply made, and those never meet the quality of their old days. Don't even bother. Your grandpa will be disappointed no matter what you buy, anyway." But I seriously wanted to give my grandpa a gift that he liked. Now, he told me what he liked. I would do my best to get the best quality razor that would not disappoint him! After searching through all online shops and Amazon lists, comparing reviews. I put my bet on this one! Bought it with extra blades and "VIKINGS BLADE Luxury Badger Brush, Heavy Swedish Alloy Base + Obsidian Acrylic, Dark Stallion" because that what other reviewers recommended. (You can see that I had zero experience of those products and I had never seen one before I searched online.) Then, packaged it nicely and sent it to him across the oceans over 5900 miles away. I was anxiously waiting for his feedbacks. Would he be disappointed...? A week later, my grandpa called. He thanked me profusely saying that he really liked it, and would use it every day. It has been a long time he was missing it in his daily life. He was even getting emotional because he was so touched that his granddaughter sent him this special gift from miles away. The gift was exactly what he wanted, and he could not get it anywhere else. My grandma told me on the phone. " Your granddad is crying." That moment made me happy and sad at the same time. It was in July 2017 when I bought this. I thought of writing a review then. But then busy life caught up with me. My grandpa mentioned how happy he was using this everytime I called him. I smiled and always replied, "I'm glad to hear that you like it!" This morning, I received a call that my grandpa passed away a few hours ago. I'm teary thinking about him. Then, I remember how happy he was having and using his favourite razor. That's why I'm writing this review now. Thank you!
