Results: Fantastic, Catfish Belly Smooth shave. Gentlemen, this razor is indeed the founder of the feast. My first real razor, I picked it up in the spring of 2006 just because I had never seen one. At the time, I was still in my post-military, I'll never shave again phase and was rocking a full beard (a la Bobo the homeless man.) About a year later, having located blades for this thing locally, curiousity was killing me so away I went. Who could have predicted that would be the start of my traditional wetshaving insanity. The rest, as they say, is history
