-For starters, the workmanship is exquisite and she looks even better than on the pictures.
-Joe got it as sharp as I've ever gotten a blade and surprisingly customs people didn't mess up the edge. It was encouraging seeing the customs form label it as an "electric razor." This means they just checked the package for contraband and passed it on.
-The unusual size of the blade took some time to get used to. One distinct disadvantage it suffers over smaller blades of equal sharpness is that the downstroke in the moustache area is under a more extreme angle which makes it pull a bit. The advantage is that it mowed down a forrest of stubble with no effort.
-Overall, it's a superb shaver. Right up there with the Taylor's Eye Witness 6/8 and the Genco 9/16. The added charm of it being custom-made for me and by my specification will make it a permanent part of my and my grandkid's (assuming I have children and they children lol) rotation.
