I paid to have it shave ready and that's what I got. I wouldn't accept repayment anyways as it must have taken a lot of work. I would just like to move on.

We'll I finally got to shave with it. It was the best shave I've ever had. I wasn't sure it was shaving for the first second but it had no pull at all. My technique is still terrible but two...
