W O W, what a nice shaver this razor is ! I was a bit hesitant to buy this razor, but it was a Tim Zowada blade after all and for a very nice price (very nice indeed for a Zowada piece, not in Damascus steel, like most of his work, but I can't think that a razor can shave any better than this, no matter what steel).
