It was ok, not amazing but ok, I dont know but I think I prefer a full length blade for my head, and I agree that the slimmer ones seem to make an easier job of it, maybe I should stick with this shorty and see how we get on? I think next head shave I will use a slim full length jobbie and see how it compares.
