You can watch videos and pick it up but seeing it in person is like the difference between buying a loaf of store bought bread or having it fresh baked. Take Oz up on his offer and fly through the clouds or remain stubborn (you said it, I didn't) and slog through the mud.

You guys crack me up!
I do get the message and I will contact Oz. I promise!

I have actually just received a professionally honed razor. The shave I got from it was somewhat different from what I expected. A little harsh and a lot of tugging in the problem areas. I ended up finishing those areas with the Dovo. I will look at both blades and compare under magnification when I get a minute.
