The PILS is a FINE little machine!
I took deliver of my PILS about 3 weeks ago. I really enjoy using that razor!! I also use a Merkur 34C, a Merkur Vision, and a Gillette FatBoy. The Vision and FatBoy are both awesome, although rather complex, razors (butterfly open and adjustable safety bar). In contrast, what I'm appreciating about the PILS is it's minimalistic simplicity. The PILS' functional simplicity does not compromise attention to detail however. Every edge and dimension seems to be optimized and perfectly machined. Using this precise and simple tool has inspired me to jump to the next level of simplicity and give straight edge shaving a try! :)
I figure I better get this exploration outa my system while I'm single. :)
(Who am I kiddin? I think I'm an addict now!)
Anyhow, I can provide an enthusiastic endorsement of the PILS!
