W O W Max custom razor really blew me away! I'm a vintage guy, I swear by my vintage razors and think there can be good modern razors, but that they'll never be as good as a really good vintage blade. The grind masters from the past used to grind so many more razors than anyone today and I allways thought that a blade from a good day and from such a grind master, never good be beat by a contempory razor.
I was wrong though, Max custom razor was, for me, as good as several of my top blades. Excellent edge aswell, thank you Max! Two days stubbles ran away like scared little children and after one pass I was clean enough for an average shave, but I did 1 ½ ultra light passes more and was rewarded with an uberclean face
