Ok so not exactly. I used a piece of crap "shave ready" gold dollar razor twice before realizing it wasn't cutting it, literally...got the real shave ready razor from Larry at whipped dog and went to town. Full two passes wtg. Slight irritation under the chin and obviously not nearly as close as my normal wtg, xtg and xtg DE shave, but I loved it. Gonna have to put it away until next weekend just for time reasons but I already can't wait till next Saturday!
