    First shave with this razor

    Well, I had some extra time today so I put away my straight and tried this Gillette NEW. I used the same Sputnik blade that I had put into my SuperSpeed a couple of weekends ago so I could compare the NEW and the SS effectively.

    I think WOW!!! is in order here. This razor gave me such a smooth shave I almost had to check to see if I had put a blade in it. The only shave smoother than this one is when I use my straight razor. I had never used an open comb before. I don't have a very thick beard, especially having only shaved yesterday, and I've heard the open combs are more aggressive but that a NEW gave a really smooth shave. It does, indeed. I think I might have just retired my SuperSpeed.
