Customer Reviews of Razor Magazine

Each issue begins with a publishers' letter written by Richard Botto - one of the top twenty five bachelors in the world according to People. His writing style is fun and punchy as he swaggers on the page - but then things turn pretentious after that.

The photos of women look good, but Bob Hunter writes the same ecology column over and over in every issue I've read. It's pedantic and dull. I love nature but Hunter can't make being an environmentalist interesting. He's a yawner.

Next up is the soapbox column. The one written by Paul Hagis is safe and naive. The magazine is published in Canada which keeps it out of the loop. Hagis' article is boring - saying there's no censorship in Hollywood and makes a glaring mistake in talking about a comedian who got her show cancelled after he claimed she wouldn't. D'uh!

There are generic restaurant and fashion reviews - along with stale celebrity interviews. Playboy does this better. It all feels generic as if they didn't really talk to the person.

The comedy column follows where a stand up comedian does their act in print. Wendy Leibman was terrible and not funny.

A photo layout of Howard Stern's girlfriend shows the woman who turned him into the typical middle aged Hollywood star and not funny anymore. She looks big.

An article about the blues is boring, and the article about a museum robbery is worse. There is no theme to the issue and all the articles are all over the place with no relation to each other.

Krista Allen looked hot - but her layout is followed by a dull travel piece. Some Amazon chicks looked hot.

A story about psychics had nothing to do with anything but was funny and interesting with a funny ending and it almost redeemed the whole issue. This is the sort of writing that they promise but dont deliver.

Things improved again with the sex and the city writer Anka Raddishovich doing a story that was interesting. The last two stories were the best.

After a story about Steve McQueen, the editor wrote something about his being adopted and finding out his real name. Had the issue been better i might have cared.

This was the July / August issue but the other two were pretty much the same. razor has great looking women and a cool concept but it needs better articles in order to be what it promises to be.

A Men's Magazine For Actual Men
I had bought copies of Razor magazine off and on, along with other male targeted publications, and always enjoyed it. Razor is very slick and classy, bookended by a publisher's introduction that doesn't smack of spin and an editor's commentary that is incredibly unique and intelligent. What finally made me subscribe was the diversity of the magazine. Unlike other stuff that's out there, the topics in Razor are far ranging. Where else can you see photos of great looking gals and searing pieces on Tina Brown's downfall and the threat of landmines around the world? A.J. Benza co-wrote a strong piece about the life an LAPD street cop, and former Details contributor Anka Radacovich is also part of the team. The current cover story about the lack of real men on tv, saying they've been replaced by tough as nails chicks, by Alan Spencer was laugh out loud funny, but also perceptive. A photo journalist also had a story in that same issue about the plight of New York's homeless. Razor is eclectic and unpredictable. When it's delivered each month to my mail box, I never know what to expect -- except to be enlightened, titillated and most of all ENTERTAINED. Articles that make you think. Shots of women that turn you on and humor that makes you laugh. I couldn't ask for anything more in a magazine.

The Best in Men's Entertainment Bar None
I have read my share of men's magazines, but for my money the best on the market is Razor. I have been following Razor for a while and while it has gotten better by the month, the July issue convinced me to be a subscriber for good.

I have read some reviews stating that Razor is not Maxim or FHM. That's true, it's not. And thank god for that. In my opinion, once you read Maxim once, there's no need to buy another issue. It's the same thing month after month.

Razor is simply a more sophisticated, more informative, more balanced view at the lifestyle of the average, mature guy.

The July issue, for example, hits that balance perfectly. There's the guide to Las Vegas, which covers where to stay, where to eat, the best pools for scenery and the recipes for feature cocktails at various hotels. There is a scathing, yet hysterical look at PETA by Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller fame which follows in the same vein of an earlier terrific expose on the Church of Scientology. Jillette's article is a pleasure to read. There's a look by Stephen Applebaum on Hollywood's marketing of violence to children and how Hollywood may have learned nothing from the Columbine High School shootings. Again, a terrific read that is not at all obtuse (See GQ). One more feature is for all the people who love those HBO autopsy shows, a nice piece that takes you into the lab. Again, well written and informative.

On a more fun note (balance), there is a look at six of the top convertibles on the market today. And this is where Razor shines as the choices range from reasonable for any working man, to luxurious for those who are fortunate enough to be able to purchase such a vehicle. The sex advice article is about where to find opportnities to meet the fairer sex; it is funny and enjoyable without being lewd.

Two fashion features consist of summer wear for day and night. Again, the fashions are reasonable and realistic for any working man.

Finally, there are the girls - (they are part of a man's lifestyle too right?) - but Razor presents them in a completely different light than the Maxim's of this world. Beautifully filmed and without that fake airbrushed look, Talisa Soto shines. There is another beach shoot (fashion) that is just perfect.

Throw in advice on style, travel, wines, finance and more and you can see why it's my opinion that Razor is the most balanced men's magazine out there. It's a magazine that I am proud to have around when company stops by. Even my girlfriend is a big fan.

For the record, I am 28 and an entrepreneur.
