Last night was the test shave. Conclusion: excellent razor. I gave it a good test on a two-day beard and took it through my standard first pass with the grain and second against. It never got "grabby" or pulled. I am not a real fan of the points on the ends, I like the rounded tips to ease into my old fart wrinkles and creases, but it is a fine shave. It will likely be in my rotation.
