My impressions:
Pre Shave :- None
RAZOR : – NEW PEARL FLEXI OPEN COMB
PEARL FLEXI OPEN COMB :-
Packaging:- comes with premium packaging box along with a heft stand which holds this razor firmly in place with a micro fibre cleaning and polishing Cloth and 50 Willy’s Blades
Tech Specs:- Weighing at same 140 gms as the standard bar, height at 90mm,handel height at 83mm,blade gap going from 0.25 mm to 1.00mm.
This is a well built razor full brass even the top cap which shaves extremely good
This is the first proper open comb adjustable razor from 🇮🇳 india & imho it’s the first ever in the wet shaving world(I might be wrong)so kudos to Pearl for it, for innovating items time to time and alluring us into to it 👌
The Pearl Flexi offers flexibility of 6 settings which u can dial up or down as per your preference or days of beard growth
Fit and finish is really good no issues with blade alignment & there are no blade tabs protruding out.
The knurling is good better than the standard bar imho & won’t slip from your hand despite having a short handle( short handels works gr8 when going against the grain) The whole week I shaved with this razor with different settings & none of the settings felt rough even on setting 6.
The stand which comes with the razor is also well made and holds the razor well in place and is of good and durable quality not flimsy at all
All the settings work good and shaves as well, like there are some razors interchangeable/adjustable who’s setting 1 can be extremely mild. Overall it’s a good option to consider if ur in the market for an adjustable razor.
Till now I’ve had 03 shaves with it 04 days of growth, 02 & 1 & have played with all settings
Difference B/w the standard bar & Open Comb
In short I can say the difference is like one is a BMW & the other is a BMW M SPORTS
1. Both the razors are adjustables, one is standard bar and one is open comb.
2. The knurling on the open comb is is like a pattern(transformers sort Autobots let’s roll) looks cool and is very precise and grippy,just short of sharp and is very grippy, the standard bar is also nice but I prefer this one. I would be overwhelmed/dammed if pearl could launch an iron man(gold with red accents) or batman(black with gold version) in the flexi range
3. There rear knob design is also different in this one it’s a tad bigger as compared to the standard bar
4. There is a slight difference in the colour of coating as well,this one has a Matt tinge to it as compared to the standard bar which has a hint of shine.
Shaving experience wise this performs better and is more efficient setting by setting as compared to the standard bar as it’s an open comb but boy it is smooth and u won’t feel as it’s aggressive but is more efficient,being an open comb it shaves well even on certain contours of the face & even trouble spots,the lather Channel’s are good and squish or rinse under the tap & it’s all cleared
The combs on this razor are very smooth
The blade gap on this is sufficient for beginners and wet shaving enthusiasts and can take down weeks of growth with ease no problemo 👍
I tried all settings on my almost 04 days of beard growth(I have dense & a bit coarse) all settings work properly and are very efficient, even setting 01 is good for anyone even someone starting and they can dial up as they progress in wet shaving.
My overall setting for shaving on the 1st pass was 4.5 on cheeks, 4 on the neck WTG
For second pass setting 03 ATG on the cheeks & neck, i was in the BBS territory but wanted full BBS so for slight touch ups on my trouble spots went for setting 2 & voila complete BBS
02 pass ans touch ups and I had a BBS SHAVE, post shave there was hardly any feedback from the Alum bar,despite being an open comb gr8 job Pearl👍 let the weight of tht razor do the work for u, this open comb feels safe, at a point I even applied some pressure to check but nothing (lucky me 😅) for 02 days of growth setting 4 and finished on 2.5& for 01 day of growth setting setting 03 and again finished on 2.
Conclusion :- both razors are good imho, it’s hard for me to pick 1 but if I had the option to keep only 01 then it would be this one for my preference. like I said BMW OR BMW M SPORTS
I’l pick the M Sports…
Blade :- Willy’s Blade
It’s a nice blade and u can’t find it easily but Pearl has good stock of it, this blade is not super sharp like say a feather but it’s sharp and smooth and gives me good shaves and can last 04 shaves, I toss most of Indian blades except Gsp blacks after 03 uses Ppl have taken out more Mileage(YMMV)
Combo of blade and razor :
The razor and blade performed very well & complemented each other offering a good,smooth,irritation free bbs shave
I get around good 4 shaves (02 passes and touch ups at times) ppl in hesitation to try this blade,just give it a shot. as per me they are in the Wilkinson sword category maybe a tad better..
Shave soap :- NEW PEARL Sunrise Bliss
universal pleasing smell( a bit citrusy floral and a hint of musk(I guess)not something out of the box or something but performs better than the other 02 mentioned above. The lather,cushion/glide and post shave is all good for the price it come at, so I would say this is the best in there lineup. Price is around 4.5 to 5$
Brush :- Pearl 26mm
Nice handle and a good brush, ppl with sensitive skin will surly like it, I would have preferred a bit more backbone from it and performs decently well
After shave :- Sample After shave & New Pearl After shave lotion /balm
The sample After shave:- i found the after shave a kind of hybrid b/w a splash & lotion,though more inclined towards a splash, because if it’s moisturising/hydrating and quick absorbing in the skin properties, it felt a little creamy/soapy fresh & a tad piny(as I have no info on the same) but it performed well
After shave lotion/balm :-The lotion performed very good at the price point it comes at 5$ or so it immediately hydrates/moisturises ur skin and absorbs quickly and leaves u moisturised for hours,Preety good like a skin conditioner.
That’s all for now folks 😉
Happy shaving Gents and stay safe🤗

Beautiful Razor!!

Thanks 😊

Somehow, i find myself writing about Pearl, time and again.
And writing good stuff about them, for a change!
😃😃
Because….i find them sending me stuff i simply adore, and which are a pleasure to use…again and again.
I had been waiting for the OPEN COMBED version of my beloved FLEXI, for a long , long time .
Having used the PEARL SSH-02 ( CHHOTU) after seeing a post by a fellow member in our group, and being absolutely blown over by its performance, i had actually bought all versions of the razor so that i could use the same razor, but with a different look every time!
So i was waiting with bated breath, to lay my hands on the adjustable Flexi, which would match the CHHOTU on setting 3, as conveyed to me by Mr. Sabya on WA.
I had always wanted to shave with an open combed, yet less aggressive razor, so that i could shave with it more frequently; since an aggressive OC razor usually demands at least a 3 day beard growth.
So what better option than a razor whose aggression could be fine tuned to suit my needs!?!
The razor looks good and feels very substantial in the hand. I have always liked heavy razors and this was obviously no exception.
The knurling ensures a very firm grip even with the soapy hands and wet razor combo.
However, looks wise, the CC FLEXI handle appeals to me even more.
But this one is distinctly grippier.
The teeth are quite menacing and can definitely put to test all the skills learned and honed over time, by us.
The first/WTG pass, in setting 3 mowed down a 3 day growth in a jiffy and left my cheeks absolutely buttery smooth, very similar to the feel after a shavette shave.
ATG on setting 3 felt smooth above the jawline, but felt distinctly aggressive below it.
So much so, that i had to dial down to 2.
Setting 1 hardly gave me the OC feel, and would be a great setting to start on, for newbies.
It would be superfluous to say that my reward, a perfect BBS came very fast and left me thanking myself AND Pearl,for the serial Pearl-chase( oops purchase!😝)
For those like Apurba Mazumdar who love their Flexi CC, this would definitely be a great addition to the den.
Certain points worth highlighting are…
1. Perfect blade alignment.
2. Absolutely NO skewing of the top cap relative to the base plate, while moving from setting 1 through 6.( BTW, the red bindi like dot makes it very easy to select the desired setting,as with the CC version. And, the dialer is perfect. Lines up with the setting without any hassles)
3. There is NO rattling sound whatsoever,while shaking the razor hard, once the top cap has been screwed firmly into place( no extra effort required at all)
4. Did not note any blade chatter upto setting 3.5.
(Have not used it ABOVE that setting.)
5. Did not seem to me that the blade gap does NOT increase above setting 3.
I shall be sharing a video immediately after this post which makes this razor, which is the ONLY ADJUSTABLE OC RAZOR available, appear as a piece of junk.
I have found NO truth whatsoever, in the comments of that Youtuber, and believe that he had dropped the razor from a height and did not reveal that fact.
It seemed to me to be a deliberate attempt at maligning a very good razor made in India.
I have always believed in helping Indian companies who bring good products to our community and in calling a spade a spade.
Hence this post.
Thank you!

Today, I will be reviewing the New Pearl Flexi Open Comb edition.
A special thanks to Dhara and Kirti at Pearl for doing a great job in making it possible.
Head Type: Open Comb, Total Length: 90 MM , Handle Length: 83 MM , Weight: 140 Gram, Blade Exposure: 0.25MM to 1MM . This innovative piece of the razor is made of 100% Brass & 100% CNC machine process
‘ve only been into traditional wet shaving since Oct, 2022. And I have had a fear of open comb as I thought they would really tear up my face. I was wrong !! And here comes the open comb Flexi. I always thought Pearl razors to be a little on the aggressive side, my original Flexy closed comb included. But there was something different about the open comb version. I set it at 3 (you can go from 1 to 6 with half steps marked on the dial) and expected the usual aggression. NOT THE CASE with this razor. Yes there was some blade feel, but it was not aggressive at all !!I don’t know if it’s the open comb design or Pearl made other modifications in the Flexi, but this was a really great shaving form this razor. No nicks , no cuts no errors. This Flexi left me BBS after 2 passes and a cleanup of problem spots.
I recommend the Flexi Open Comb (don’t fear the open comb) It’s a very fine razor

The Pearl Flexi Open Comb is a Big, Heavy and in your face razor.
Low down I find it a medium shaver and moves into the aggressive zone at about 4.
Low down I can use this for a easy weekend shave and high up its a very aggressive and effecient shaver.
On 5/6 it’s not an “auto-pilot” shaver and I do need to slow down a bit with it, but am rewarded with a BBS.
The pattern on the handle not only looks great, its also very grippy.
Yeah – I really do enjoy using it and highly recommend it.

I have quite a few razors collected during my wet shaving journey. Some are inexpensive, like Gillette Sterling, and expensive ones like Henson AL13. Pearl Flexi is my first adjustable razor and was not sure what to expect from this.
Based on many reviews online, I knew it was a high-quality razor but didn’t expect it this well-built. The razor has very good ergonomics and weight. Compared to my AL13, this is the heavy razor that needs no pressure to apply.
Feels very smooth and the adjustability makes it a perfect tool. Earlier I had different categories of razors, mild and medium aggressive. Based on different aggressiveness, I used to decide which blade would work better. This razor just makes you forget all those rules. 🙂
Thank you Pearl for making such a high-quality razor for the world in India. Super proud.

Pearl Flexi Adjustable Safety Razor (Open Comb) It’s a great razor beautifully The adjustments work with no rattling noise as some people reported for those people who are wet shavers for some time since you need to work it with expertise Give it a week to get the feel and the way it works. Then you will love it. I have quite a few adjustable, the Merkurs, Parker, and Vintage Gillette’s and I would rate this equal to them, much better than the Viking Emperor which has alignment problems
Use the least aggressive blade start with setting 1, get the feel and there you go
Buy it and it will go on to the next generation
Santhi Shukla –
PEARL FLEXI(OPEN COMB), I love you!
After using the Flexi for 6 days, I feel the sweet spot for me is the setting 2. Used a GWS blade and I don’t feel the blade at all even on 2nd shave with the blade. And a BBS. A great product. One needs to give it a few shaves to work out what works for one. A learning curve, say.
DR. Shubhendu banerjee –
I liked it very much What a razor. This is my 11th razor in my shaving den. Don’t think of foreign razors. you bluntly purchase this razor.

The Pearl Flexi is a fine adjustable double edge razor. It’s well made and on the heavy side.
