Much thanks to
@Barry Giddens for letting me have a spin with his beloved Pils.
First thoughts;
The bulky head will be hard to shave the troublesome areas.
The smooth handle won't be a problem after all I like the brass general.
Wrong on both counts.
It's incredibly easy to get to awkward areas, still haven't worked out why.
Because it's so head heavy and the handle so thin, I need some help with grip, a few grooves in strategic places would be enough.
For a first shave it was pretty good apart from occasionally loosing the angle on the neck.
I can see why it has so many fans. It shaves very efficiently and smoothly when you get it right, and it holds the blade so rigidly it feels a bit like an SE.
I'm looking forward to learning this razor.
Happy Shaving one and all.
