    Seriously!! You... YOU!! You put a 4/8 to your face Mark! That's awesome.

    And that sir is why I use and prefer the little ones! I can just whip them all over my face - they are great. This one though isn't all that small. Well not as small as I thought something called a Dwarf would be lol! I'll post pictures of it next to my Boker 4/8 and you'll see it's not that big a dif...

    But right now - well, I got to find Frankie Smith on my Pandora account and blare it as I run that thing over the old face! I'll report back.

    Well that has to go down in the annals as one of the greatest bloody shaves I have ever had lol. Seriously! Or rather literally.

    Right off the bat I couldn't help but think wow the hype is warranted. The blade fet natural in my hand and the shave was smooth. Very comfortable, downright pleasurable really. Then I noted my first stream of blood. I had to laugh thinking, oh Mark, can you put an edge on a blade - a weeper! Really?

    Well no lol. It was a cut I later discovered. I discovered it later as I just kept on going. It wasn't until the second stream that I started to think no way the blade is this smooth and giving me weepers, just no way lol. By the time I finished thinking it I had a third stream LOL. OH BROTHER! It was as though I hadn't shaved a day in my life.

    It was then when it hit me. My Duck isn't a round point! What was I thinking lol? Undeterred, I continued with my shave as it really was a great edge. As I said, the shave was a smooth as silk, the shaving cream was just a little more colored now. : )

    Truth told - when all was said and done, I had to route around to find my septic pen lol.

    I am sold and though one shave isn't definitive, for sure this thing is going to be in the rotation!

    I am in the double D club!! Woot!

    More consequences with them if you accidentally lift the heel but they'll teach you good form.

    I'm glad she honed up well for your first bloody good shave. Until I figured out what was going wrong with your shave, you had me really worried there.

    Don't try kamisori just yet, David. Just sayin'

    Nice razor! I was watching one on the bay, but had to pass. I did have a similar experience with a spike point, as well. The left side of my face was a little uglier than normal for a bit.
