    I just got this in the mail on Wednesday. It is going to be one of my first shaves in OCtober. I can't wait to give it a spin!

    That is very true, but I am participating in SEptember so my DEs are all taking a break. That is why I put it back in the box after taking the pics.

    And even if you flip it around, you're still only using a single edge... at a time.

    Looks nice and could be a good travel razor. Saw this review on it and I think it's worth a try.

    I looked on Pheonix's site and it states that the threads will also fit handles of your choice. Pretty good.

    How do you like it?

    EDIT: You must like it to be using it every day, but I would like to know more about why you like it.

    It's a little harsher than the super speed, but not to bad. I was skeptical about the plastic but it is nice to hold and does a good job shaving with no pressure

    That's a great looking razor and I hope to try a slant some day myself. However, I agree with the others in this thread in that I don't understand how you could resist using a new razor immediately. I've shaved twice in the same day just to test out the new razor that I had received one evening.
