Better than the flying eagle D/E I have, the shave is nice and close, but it did give me a few weepers, but it was a first attempt.
You used a Feather blade with it?

Those are good blades but I find that they need one shave to mellow down a bit. I get the best shaves from a Feather on the second to fourth uses.
Congrats on the Popular and enjoy your razor! :D

So much like a freshly honed straight then.
I had heard that the Feather blades were quite sharp, i will have to try it with an astra, i have used them before in a different razor.

The naniwa 12k is a delightful stone, you will be very happy
Ed if its a decent de you will have to send a link to where you got it. Been wanting to get a de for my brother in law but thought the cheap ones on ebay probably weren't much good. Cheers

What size did you get? I have the g-12 and I love it. I use it even when I don't fill it with hot water. It is just so great for building lather. Enjoy!

tedh75, I ordered the G12 and let my wife have final say on the color, hamada & blue. It's good to hear you favorable opinion of the GP scuttle.
