It works well for our family. Of the three Pegasus we have, it is the fastest.

I dont own one but from the reviews on YouTube, samurai Pegasus is one high speed bey. And been part of the synchrome system, you can replace the plastic wheel, with a secondary warrior(metal) wheel. As for quality, Takara Tomy is the best in the beybusiness. It really comes down to your play style. Like me personally, I'm a defense player with the offensive edge. Hope that helps

I've used the Derby, but I like the Astra way better. It's just a much smoother shave for me. YMMV of course. I have 2 small kids, and a place to put the used blades is always a concern. You can get a "Blade Safe" for about $5 on Amazon. I know Feather makes one. All it is, is a small plastic box that cannot be opened. It has a slit in the top to put your used blades. It holds a couple hundred blades. After it's full, chuck it in your recycle container, and you're done.

Derby is know as a good quality, but mild blade. This razor is also somewhat mild. Could be technique or you may prefer a sharper blade such as Feather, Kai, Personna, Wilkinson Sword...

The sword I purchased is nice quality. The blade came semi-sharp, I sharpened it and it took a nice edge. I notice no wear or loss of integrity after using it for cuts. The tang (full) is still pretty sturdy, looks well made to me. If your's is not of the same quality I would contact them about it.

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity. It is an excellent razor.

Not necessarily, but not because they're bad. When you first start you will miss often resulting in chipped and bent blades. There are sets which are less expensive without being cheap and are better suited for someone who is learning and going to abuse their blades a bit. One you've dialed it in and are sure it's a hobby for you, then upgrade to a set like this.

Reviews say that the 3 blade is better, which is why I ordered it. Amz says they will replace the 2 blade they sent me & swap it out w/the 3 blade. I don't know much else, I suspect the more expensive 3 blade will be more powerful, I should know more soon.

Ontario has a spotty record on heat treat. Had the same problem with an RD9. The blades I've had that Justin Gingrich did the treat on have never failed or had issues. OKT may be US made but their QC is abysmal. The steel is good but the RC number is meaningless without a good heat treat. The protocols they use can be vastly different and lead to the same Rockwell hardness number and one blade is amazing while the other will chip, bend, or snap.

You BETCHA! I "was" a beginner just a couple of months ago, and I'm totally hooked on the Bodyblade. I do the Super 6 routine 3 times per week and am getting very noticeable results. I got mine from QVC and I'm thrilled I made the purchase, even though I was skeptical at first. I know it's not for everyone, but it certainly is for me :).

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

I also have this clipper, but it's brand new. I just did a web search for a replacement blade and didn't get anywhere, even on the Andis site, Since I only paid $25 for the clipper, I'll probably just order a new one when this blade dulls, unless someone else can come up with a place to find a blade only for a reasonable price.one

I just did a couple of googles, and can't find blades for either this or the Blackwing. Fortunately, the blades last forever and two come with the sharpener. Will continue to search, and post if I find any! Good question! EDIT: Amazon has them (of course!) search replacement blades KUM. There are several pack sizes and several proices.

I haven't used mine extensively. The blade is fairly thin, the handle is pretty rigid, the lock seems pretty secure. It would depend on what you mean by hard use. I sure wouldn't try prying or batoning with it. It sharpens well and holds an edge pretty well. It's great at slicing with it's full flat grind. I like it. There is now a very similar model just a little bigger with a thicker blade, I think it's called the Eland. You might want to investigate that before making up your mind. I think either would be a very good buy considering how little they cost.

after reading these comments, I just realized that my blade has lasted much longer since I was at class one day and forgot my olfa mat so I bought a clover mat and it is softer and that must be the reason my blade has lasted so long. I thought it was the sharpner.lol, as the blade was sharpened quite good. Funny, I learn something new every day. Will stick with the Clover mat since it is softer. Doesn't seem to let the fabric slide as much either.

IIRC, out of the box the blade was good and sharp. If you sharpen your own, you'll *love* the way this thing takes an edge. My Zetsurin is just about the sharpest thing I own. After a bit of work ;)

I am using Derby Extra. Have no problem with them. But, I would try some different blades, just because I like to try different items. But, I do like Derby.
