This de razor is excellent as far as I'm concerned. I had my first shave with a #3, it was so smooth and comfortable that I thought I would go to #4.
#4 was still good but it didn't seem to give a better shave so I am back at #3 and I'll probably stay there.
I just shaved with the weight of the razor because it's quite heavy, I have had good shaves, no blood, very smooth and close but my experience so far is that the shave is not as close as with my straights.
I have been using Rockwell blades because thats all I have for the next few days but to be fair, my bristles are not tough and wiry, I have used the same blade for the 3 times I shaved with the DE and it still seems good to me. I am interested how long it will last. Will it start to pull like a straight would?
Anyway, I thought you might like to know how I got on with a DE Razor. Love it but won't be giving up on my straights anytime soon - It's not quite THAT good :nono:
