I kept trying it in multiple angles and WTG, XTG, ATG, etc., and it just kept mowing off lather and whiskers with almost no sensation at all. I have shaved with uber-sharp, pro-honed edges, and more than a few of my own "finished" edges that were just as smooth and sharp, and this shave beat many of them.
