    I have been using my Prima Klang for about a week now and its great, it still tugs slightly on my moustache but no where near as bad as my bismark. I'm still getting used to the 5/8 blade, I still find the 6/8 a little more comfortable in my hand then my new 5/8. But I'm sure that's only because im not used to it yet but oh well I love the my new razor.

    If any one is looking to buy a new razor than the Prima Klang is for you!!!

    Sounds like your Bismark could use a touch up to improve the edge. Try stropping on some newspaper, a paddle strop or a bench strop with some chromium oxide or diamond past/spray. Start with 5 or 6 laps then test shave. Do more sets of laps and test shave until you get the edge where you like it. Barber hones or other more expensive finishing hones will also bring up up to speed. You can always send it to a hone-mister to tune it up. I have a Bismark and it shaves just fine.
