My son and I took this baby for a spin. To give her a good test I had an unusual two days beard growth. My honing mile stones were saying this was going to be an exceptional shave and they were right. This was smoother shaving that I got from any of my blades including the famous Wonderedge. Even the landings were smooth as they just sliced through the hairs even before the blade touched my skin.
The style of the blade took just a few seconds to adjust to and left me wondering why all blades were not shaped this way. The bottom of the shank is a bit thin for my liking with my huge thumbs bit after a few strokes that became minor issue. This is definitely a keeper and will make it into rotation on special occasions and holidays.
