Well the razor was waiting for me when i came home in the hall delivered from me postie.
I have been waiting for this baby, so i had a brew and went to the bathroom had an exfoliating face wash then hot flannel and soaked the badger and stuck the merkur blade (never tried one so why not) that came with it in, lathered up some menthol prorasso and had a go.
I had not bothered shaving since Thursday waiting for this razor so 4 days growth on there, 1st pass atg it was near gone and i have a fairly heavy dark growth, 2nd pass all gone nearly, few bits missed so had a quick tidy up cold rinse ran the alum over it and no sting for the 1st ever time, some sanex after shave balm and that was that.
I can honestly say i have to do sometimes 4 or 5 passes with my other razors and still dont get anything near this after 2 passes, i have a slim adjustable 1967 an edwin jagger dbl89 and a mach 3 :icon_rolleyes:, i think they wont be getting much more use now at all, im so chuffed with this razor, red personna next up.
