Your description says the razor is a AS-D2 but the pictures are of a AS-D1, which is it?

The photo shows an AS-D1; however, the ASIN the seller lists is correct for the AS-D2.

I checked my Amazon printed statement. It states that I bought the AS-D2 model without the razor stand (Amazon SKU #80313-1)

It IS the "AS-D2," just as it is pictured here at Amazon. I have been using the razor and the Feather razor blades for my face and my "beautiful bald head." The razor and blades are a perfect combination for me. I have yet to draw blood! I shave VERY close. Buy it! IF you should not like it (which I doubt) just return it! It's just that simple..... nothing at all complicated. As I commented in my first review.... "You Get What You Pay For....."

I don't know what they are now shipping, but if, as some have stated, they received a razor that looks like the one pictured, it is in fact an AS-D1 that they received regardless of what paperwork they received with it. The AS-D2 has a different handle, and the head has 4 "support bars" instead of the 3 the AS-D1 has shown here. This can be substantiated by a Google search.

The razor I purchased from Amazon was an AS-D 2. You want the AS-D2, it is the new model from the D1. You can read more about the As-D2 on Badger & Blade on the internet. I really like this razor. It is a very smooth shave.

I bought a Seki Edge Feather here on October 14, 2013 and received an AS-D2, for what that's worth. Brilliant razor, runs supersharp Feather blades beautifully.

This razor appears to be another version of Weishi razor based off an old Gillette patent. Standard double edge blades should work. I recommend trying a good quality platinum, chrome, or titanium blade before giving up on the razor. I saw these razors in the As Seen On TV section of a national chain store recently, but they didn't have additional blades in the HBA section.

Some additional detail: Both the razor and the blue-plastic case, with the chromed port hole, that the razor comes in are dead ringers for the Mingshi razor, so it is probably made by Mingshi and simply branded differently at the factory.

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

I don't think that there is a difference, these razors are superb, good luck with whichever one you choose.

Looks like a Merkur 20C, but only in with a matte handle. I have only seen this razor on Amazon, which is weird. I have this razor and love it!

I would think so. Look at the razor and does it resemble your old one. I think it's a rather generic size.

The unit I received had the US standard blades. Sometimes the pictures may just be a representation of the product and not the actual product.

As others have said it's the DE86 - However the head is the same on the 89 and 86 - handle is the difference. The 89 is the chrome handle. The chrome handle comes in a lined and smooth version. It's all a question of which look you prefer, the razor portion is identical.

It's D2 - I purchased mine toward the end of last year. All in all, a good knife - I have not had a single issue with it

Sorry, I don't know. I've had a Trac II since it was born and have never used any other razor.

Sorry, I couldn't figure it out either. I would say, call customer service and ask them, that's what I may end up doing. And how does one make such an advanced razor, and not put the lock on it, but they put the locks on the previous razors. I never understood this.

ES8243 is the model I have and "yes" it works. I returned a new, unpackaged razor and kept the ES8243 because it works like new. With WES9020PC I can shave my thick stuble and still have 90% - 80% of charge left in the ES8243A.

It's not a knock off. But this is an extreme razor. Get the Vision instead. It's their best razor and is more adjustable.

Not working for Amazon I can only look at what I got. The box only shows the model # as 6940 but if I open up the head of the razor the model number listed there is 6940LC and the instruction book is listing it as 6940LC as well. This unit has the flip up sideburn trimmer and I think that is only on the LC model.

They are roughly the same design with the same flaw. Only the color and battery system is different. Note: the flaw is this (present in three razors of this manufacture that I have owned): the inner (next to the trimmer) cutter holder fails after about a year. There is no fix, no cure. My guess (since it is the same problem with three of the same razor) is that it is a design flaw that causes the cutter holder to fail. Annoying to say the least.

That's a great question! I'm sorry if there is any confusion regarding which razor(s) you purchasing. The good news is that these are the same great blades you are used to! We changed the name earlier this year from Venus Divine to Venus Divine Sensitive to better represent the blades inside. It was a packaging change only and not to the product. If you receive a package that is different in color, it may be from an outdated promotion or from the previous production packaging. I hope this helps! ~ Rose, Gillette Community Manager
