Dont feel bad brother, yer not the only one that passed one that one for the same reason Lynn did also, and his and Jim's sentiment was exactly the same as yers LUCKY BA$TARD!!!!! Best $30 I ever spent :D
The follow up is that yes it shaves exceptionaly well, the first shave with it yesterday was really good, but the second shave with it today after another 100 laps on the leather was BBS and comfortable as silk ;)
