Recent purchase, not what I was expecting!

Have you shaved with yours yet?
I have! I did the HHT and found it popping hairs and in some cases splitting them (iduno if that is good or bad or neutral). So I moved on to the next test and shaved with it.
Wow! Really impressed with the shave! I didn't do my standard prep because I was so eager to try it. It glides kinda slow, and the pivot is a little stiff. But that was something I was starting to enjoy by the second pass. No irritation what so ever, I may touch it up again if it still is slow after a full prep like I am used too. This is going into my rotation for sure!
Thanks everyone for the advice and motivation!
