My first outing with this brand spankin Revisor, I must admit that I was skeptical about it shaving very well, I think because it was so light compared to my Kropp and King cutter. However I was wrong, I resisted the urge to apply pressure and just let the razor do the work, surprisingly I got a good 2 pass shave, so confident was I that I even tried an ATG on most of my neck which is a first. I really do like this razor, the bumf I got in the box tells me I shouldn't strop it until after several shaves, is this true with new razors?
The 1903 as always was a pleasure to use, lathered so well from so little product nice slick lather that so far has never failed to impress, no matter what aftershave or balm I use, the 1903 always sneaks through and I get whiffs for most of the day.
A tidy up with the adjustable was needed as I am still learning with the straight, resulted in a nice and smooth feel.
