He's good to go! I wonder how many brushes he's burned up with hot water? I love the sound of the razor.

i used to have a beard like that. when i shaved it off, i found the trick was to just whip up a ton of lather in a bowl and spend some time saturating my beard with the lather. after that, i was able to just sail through it with my wade and butcher wedge. that was a fun shave.
