Great shave w/ the O5 this morning
When I first read your post, I thought " @GuitarTech must have been desperate to get hold of a Vision, if he bought it from Chad". Then the penny dropped, and I realised that it's the person, not the African country. My excuse is that it's been an arduous Christmas and Boxing Day, and someone had to drink that rather nice wine.My O5 has just been delivered And with those magical words on an extra label:" von zollamtlicher Behandlung befreit",
which in English means free from customs duty. Result! It could have something to do with the fact that O5 wrote "value 20 CH" on the declarartion, which is about 18 €uros something... cough, cough, which is well under the limit for customs handling. How clever of them
I can't wait to try it out: after carving my chin up with a feather blade on Sunday ( the second or third time I've tried to get on with feather blades, never again, I looked like an extra from village of the damned when I was finished ), I think I'll try it for the first time with a Polsilver.
And, according to the GLS tracker, my new ( to me ) Merkur Vision that I bought from Chad is being delivered today too. What a fantastic day!

Good for you on the expense (lack of extra) bonus.
Yeah, I've managed to cut myself too with it, using a polsilver, and also on my chin, which is my problem area anyway. You should've seen how my chin loooked after attempting to shave with the futur with a feather blade in it. I looked like one of the extras from the village of the damnedOn monday morning i managed to get 2 cuts on my chin. Had to give it 3 days to heal. Never happened before at this spot with a DE. I hope it was due to a Crappy blade (Gillette Ruby) i normally dont use... so beware. It feels very safe, but still can bite!
