Product Overview

The Goodfellas’ Smile Syntesi in aluminum is a three piece double edge safety razor with a closed comb head, CNC machined from aluminum. 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 32 g (1.13 oz) and an overall length of 87 mm (3.43 in), with a handle 80 mm long and 13 mm in diameter and a head 43 mm wide and 24 mm deep.

The Goodfellas’ Smile states that this razor uses the same head geometry as the stainless steel Syntesi, with a blade gap of 0.62 mm and a positive blade exposure of 0.02 mm. What changes between the two is the material and therefore the weight.

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 32 g (1.13 oz) over an overall length of 87 mm (3.43 in) the aluminum Syntesi is very light, so the weight of the razor contributes little and the shave depends much more on angle and on a steady hand. The published blade gap of 0.62 mm with only 0.02 mm of positive exposure keeps the blade close to the guard.

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.

Aluminum is lighter and softer than stainless steel, so avoid abrasive cleaners and knocks against hard surfaces. Rinse the head and the handle threads after each shave so that soap does not build up in them.

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.
