So today was the first shave with my new plisskon (thanks to tall_paul) so the first thing you notice apart from the outstanding engineering is the weight and at 124g its a heavy razor also that is 2 piece. To load the blade ( today I used a Gillette Bleue) you hold the top part of the head and unscrew the handle, then you place the blade on the lugs grip the head and part of the body and twist until the top sits tight.
I mixed up a lather of my fav williams mug soap, once applied I took the first pass on my 2 day growth not pressing but letting the weight of the razor do the work, so with 999 on stand by (but no need) it left a clean strip in its wake with only minor stubble left behind, so I re applied the lather and went for a second pass, even around the tricky areas it done its job with no hassle at all.
I normally straight shave as I like the close feel and smoothness that it gives me, but this razor has given me a shave which would match any straight shave, Even my wife noticed how close the shave was when I came down to start my days work (even if having the Olympics on in the background is a distraction :s)
So this now leaves me to Imagine what the the S3S is like as on the few occasions I do use a DE I like my OC senator, [attachment=5316]
