Is it the best shave you'll ever have? No. Will it shave like a Dovo? Absolutely not. But you can certainly get any knife shave ready with time and practice. Don't believe me? Pick up an $8 dollar Mora with a scandi grind and tell me it doesn't shave your face. Appreciate the response though it was very resourceful...lol.

Now I understand, I thought we were talking "comfortable shave" not "hair removal". I regress.
