@semperfi45 - I'll fully admit that my Latin is rudimentary - as is my ancient Greek - but here goes. Facinorous - if it follows the normal rules - might be rendered in modern English as - phonetically - 'fasinoroos,' the initial 'o' might lengthen - leaving you with 'fasinooroos.' It's difficult to know where the stress may be in the word. Latin isn't great for diacritic pointers. That probably didn't help mate. Personally - I'd say it the way you want. Who's going to correct you? There must be someone on this forum who knows for sure? We're an erudite bunch. IThanks. how do you pronounce facinorosus?
Try this. Hit the speaker icon. I think you are correct with the "o"'s@semperfi45 - I'll fully admit that my Latin is rudimentary - as is my ancient Greek - but here goes.

Exactly Tom. It's not as aggressive as it looks.Great razor - once you get used to the blade gap, it works beautifully.

@semperfi45 - interesting mate - the sounded version resembles modern Italian to me. The 'c' becomes 'ch' and not a hard 's.' That's part of the problem with ancient Latin - nobody actually knows how it was spoken - there are grammar guides left to posterity but presumably it was like any other language that was used - then and now - over a huge range of territory, English for instance - the variation in pronunciation would have been considerable.

My first run out with this razor after acquiring it from @Benz3ne, thank you Ben.
How did it shave? Well very well indeed, it has a keen edge on it and I had a great shave right up to the end when I was getting a little cavalier with it and it bit me on the chin but apart from that it was a cracking shave, the blood loss was slight and was stopped with alum.
A good splash of Extro Bay Rum and ready to go.
Have a great day people......
Thank you, it would have been perfect had I not been so cocky at the end......all goodShe is a mighty blade. Glad you had a (mainly) positive first run!
