Well the head shave went very well, it was my first time head shaving with a DE, so I was a little nervous. I needn't have been, the wonderful Digress looked after me perfectly, no nicks, no cuts, just a smooth shave. I started at setting 2 and the results seemed pretty good to be honest, I then ramped it up to 4 and was blown away! Super smooth, and my bonce reflected light like a mirror in fact it might need dulling down on a really sunny day!
Next up was to try her on my face (so to speak!). The results again were impressive. Loaded with my favourite Astra SP the resultant shave was very pleasant and smooth. A standard 3 pass and a wee touch up produced an irritation free BBS. The razor itself is beautifully finished and is superbly balanced making shaving with it very easy. I must say I'm tempted!
Could I be added to the list please, I've been dithering on this one as I already have a Progress but find it a bit short. I think the extra knob length (cheeky!) will make it perfect.
Thnaks for offering this up.
I'd like to be added to the list if that's ok? Be good to see how a modern adjustable compares to the Slim and Black Beauty.
Quick note to ask that any comments/reviews please be popped on this thread so that it is easier to find them.
SOTD additions are great as a well, but makes finding all the reviews a little difficult...
By all means post on SOTD, but adding or cutting and pasting the review on the Passaround thread, it keeps it simple for those wishing to review opinions...

I dialled it to three and perhaps that was a little too high. Nice smooth shave but a couple of rare weepers. Will dial it back to two for the next shave to find my sweet spot. Early days but I think a Digress may be on my shopping list.
Very grateful to Cyril for organising the pass around.
I'm so over the moon with my open comb... please can I be taken off the list, my next move on will be to the world of the open razor... gotta have a go at a slant first I suspect :s
