Product Overview

The Goodfellas’ Smile Bayonetta is a three piece double edge safety razor with a closed comb head, machined from CW510L brass and left uncoated. The handle unscrews from the head, so the razor separates into a handle, top cap and base plate for blade changes and cleaning.

The Goodfellas’ Smile publishes a weight of 99 g (3.5 oz) and an overall length of 95 mm (3.74 in), with a handle 87 mm long and 13 mm in diameter and a head 43 mm wide and 22.3 mm deep.

The brass is sandblasted to a satin finish and is not plated or lacquered, so the surface darkens and develops a natural patina with use. The head is set with a blade gap of 0.65 mm and a positive blade exposure of 0.15 mm.

Product Specifications

Three Piece Design and Blade Changes

A three piece razor comes apart into three separate components: the handle, the top cap and the base plate. Unscrewing the handle releases the top cap, the blade sits between the top cap and the base plate, and screwing the handle back on clamps the assembly together.

Because every part separates, the head can be rinsed thoroughly and dried, and there is no hinge or spring mechanism inside the head to wear or seize.

Who This Razor ts Best For

Weight and Shaving Feel

At 99 g (3.5 oz) over an overall length of 95 mm (3.74 in) the Bayonetta sits toward the heavier end of the double edge range, and brass carries its weight low in the hand. The published blade gap of 0.65 mm with 0.15 mm of positive exposure sets the blade slightly proud of the guard rather than tucked behind it.

How a razor feels is subjective and varies from one shaver to another. Beard type, blade choice, lather and technique all affect the result, so treat these descriptions as a general guide rather than a promise about your own shave.

Getting the Best from Your Razor

1. Prepare the skin first. Many shavers find a hot shower or a warm damp towel before the shave makes a difference.
2. Build lather with a shave soap or cream. A shave brush lifts the hair and spreads the lather more evenly.
3. Let the razor do the work and apply very little pressure. Hold the head at a shallow angle to the skin rather than pressing it flat.
4. Take the first pass with the grain, then reduce further on later passes if you want to.
5. Rinse the head under running water between passes rather than tapping the razor on the sink.
6. Change the blade once it starts to feel rough or drag. Blade life varies between individuals.

Care and Storage

Rinse the razor under warm running water after every shave and shake the water off. Take the head apart from time to time and rinse the top cap, base plate and handle threads so that soap does not build up. Dry the razor and leave it where air can reach it rather than in a closed cabinet or a sealed travel tube.

The brass is uncoated, so it will darken over time. That patina is the metal reacting to air and water rather than damage, and it can be left alone or polished back with a brass cleaner if you prefer the original colour.

Keep unused blades dry and stored in their original packaging. Place used blades in a sealed Razor Blade Bank or another puncture-resistant container. Never place loose blades directly in household trash.
