Funny, I thought you told me it was all that new grey you're sporting that the ladies loved...

I cant explain just how good it felt when I took the razor down my cheek, and it shaved like an actual razor.
A pretty good one too.
Its sharp, it's smooth, its a pretty bloody good shaver.
Result: As good as I'd hoped, better than I'd expected. 3 pass BBS
I am one proud father tonight.
