    Not the banana lol - that's for scale .

    This is a follow up form this thread - http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...-review-5.html

    The blades fit and finish are impeccable - no question about that, and the nice leather holder is a great touch.

    Seriously - the thing looks like it was made in a factory! Not one thing on the blade is seemingly out of sorts. Moreover there is a seemingly perfect symmetry to the blade which leads to the matter of feel. Balance is extraordinary. I thought I would have anticipation using it but nope - it feels natural, and to tell you the truth, as soon as I am done typing this - I am giving her a go!

    My only hesitation with respect to the blade and using it as a shaver, is the tail is relatively short and cuddles the finger firmly. I have never had a blade with such a shortened and curved tail that "cuddles" my finger so very well. It'll be interesting.

    What more can I say? I really like it! Oh - it's a relatively wide blade, and that makes the scales seem wider too. It's a fair trade -off! Were the blade to be thin, being such a small razor, I think there would be no weight at all and the shave would suffer dearly. There are washers on the inside of the scales as well (though very thin) which is a nice touch but add to the width as well.

    I am trying to be as balanced in my review as possible but gents - it just feels great - has nice balance and heft - I am stoked!!

    I am off to give it a run across my face! Will report back soon!
