Great job! You have stuck with it and preservered. The best lessons learned!
It looks super and more importantly, authentic.

Looks like your trial and error paid off - nicely done! It seems in many cases it requires making error after error in order to learn this properly. You sir have an excellent start!

Thanks everyone, for your extremely kind comments!
I find Micro Mesh a great alternative to wet & dry. It seems a very economical solution too, since it just doesn't seem to wear out - just keeps going and going! Its inexpensive, and I certainly rate it very highly for use with both razors and scales. I got mine from ebay, a pack of 9 sheets, 6 x 3 inches in size - 1500 grit through to 12000. Well worth a try.

Well, talk about waiting a few days for the test run - I've just finished. But what a test run! Amazing shaver! And given its my first use of an 8/8 blade, I'm impressed at only one very small nick. Originally Posted by MJC
