Received my freshly honed razors from Fud this afternoon. So tonight I screwed up my courage and went for it. The razor shaved like a dream, no problems whatsoever. The only problem I did have was not the razor but with establishing the "right" grip due to my physical limitations. (I tore a rotator cuff and it didn't heal properly, so I have some trouble with mobility in that arm, plus I'm blind in one eye). I used the King of Shaves shaving oil and finished it off with some Nivea after shave balm. I did have a couple of weepers, but a nick aid stick and they were taken care of! I'm looking forward to my next shave already, hope it goes as well as this one did!:D
