    Oh yeah, I do not know him...there will be no "customer service". He does say it has just been sent out for "sharpening" and has been "sanitized".

    Thanks guys

    FROM the PICS !!!

    The razor looks to be in good shape, a couple of water stains but that is to be expected..

    There is much speculation about grind vs beard I have found the really important part of the razor is the edge, there are subtle differences in the grinds to be sure but nothing that would stop you from shaving..

    Basically this now falls back to your final decision, I don't see anything on that razor for me to say "No"

    I will attempt to secure the blade and will advise. Thank you, gentlemen. I do get the sensation that I am speaking with another gentleman when I've communicated here. It will be interesting to me to see if you can judge a man by how he shaves...

    Much Gratitude-Matt

    So you have encountered some disagreeables on here, eh? Fair enough...they are everywhere. Thusly, we will conceive in terms of probabilities instead of certainties...

    Er...what? But in any case, all the best for your first shaves. Read all you can and stay patient.

    The shaves will invariably improve the longer you stick with it. The Dovo Prima Klang is a great razor and you are getting a really good deal.

    Yes...no worries. I was simply saying that it is admirable to posses, as a trait, an unwillingness to compromise quality to save some effort. Those who wish to obtain quality without effort develop skill, which, in and of itself, requires effort. Not shunning effort takes character. Since nothing is absolute or certain, you cannot say that just taking the time to obtain the skill to achieve a superior shave or any other quality skill makes you a good person...but it certainly doesn't hurt.

    That's interesting, and I agree....for me it was about enjoying the experience of shaving, the time to learn, the technical and the art behind it, and treating shaving like an, "experience" rather than a, "task".

    It enables you to slow down, to think about what you're doing, and as a result, enjoy what you're doing, and gain a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction from the experience rather than just looking at as another task in your day. I find it sets the tone for my entire day.

    Just my opinion....
