Hello all!

Thank you for your replies! I'll try to ask for more details on each item... Just to be sure...

Anyone seconds SteveS on sending the razor back? I would only send it back if it really has a problem, and not because my knowledge is *very* limited. Just let me know what's your opinion (of course I would contact CS and ask theirs, but I won't do it unless you indicate that it's really the case to do it). I don't want to bother people with warranty claims and then to find myself being wrong about it.

About sending it to a honemeister... It seems I'll do it, if I find anyone in Europe to want to do it for me - very good (I'll describe the problem), if not..... ( (but the alternative would be to give the whole thing up)

As for having first grade shaving gear... I had lots of alternatives, mostly cheaper. But... if my wife agreed... I went for something I really dreamed for (Christmas and birthday combined gift). I just hope things will work out and I'll be able to shave and not only admire the razor.
