It may be premature, after just one shave, but this razor is amazing! I always wanted to try one, but always bottled it before buying. Bryan very generously put this one up as a PIF a few days ago and I was lucky enough to get it.
It was far easier to use than expected and I could easily have finished after one pass - more than acceptable! Being a sucker for a BBS, I did a second pass and was rewarded with one of the smoothest shaves yet. I did have a fair bit of burn from the alum, so will perhaps concentrate more on pressure or angle next time, but had zero nicks.
Overall, very successful!

I was actually incredibly lucky in that I was given this as a PIF here on the forum. But there is a member here selling them on ebay and via PM, I believe.
The thread discussing this, with posts from the seller (Mark), is here: http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/forum/thread-18726.html
